Today is the remembrance anniversary for my grandma. A lot of food were cooked in the morning as usual. So there was a lot of food for lunch and dinner.
I had a lot of appreciation for the food during lunch and I took my time chewing them.
And when I had dinner, sitting by myself in front of a great spread I suddenly had a deeper sense of appreciation for it. I was very hungry before that and to be able to eat to my heart's content (not my body's) brought a great sense of satisfaction and abundance. For the first time I appreciated the food at this level, I was deeply moved and touched and felt truly blessed to be able to live in such abundance when other parts of the world are struggling to get by. And I believe this was because of all the months of practising appreciation for food, to choose to chew slower and more and take my time.
I also appreciate for being able to feel what I felt because it certainly doesn't happen everyday and it's great to have felt that kind of feeling.
