Eat This !!!! Mother always tried to heal every pain with food!!! ---Oh,your toe hurts ? Here eat this and you will feel better:) Or your girlfriend left you? Here eat this and you will feel better:)etc--- She spent a lifetime taking comfort food to bereaved families and those needing comfort. This is the first Christmas without my Mother and I seem to be eating a lot of comfort food but it isnt working. Its just causing a weight gain this year because it isnt Mothers cooking---prepared with love to make you feel better. Then it occurred to me that I tend to replace people with habits. I started smoking when my son died and eating when Mother died. I finally quit smoking in January but started eating in May. Nothing replaces people. We have memories that keep them alive and that is the treasure to hold--not substitutes. Last year due to a change in tradition, the Douglasses skipped Christmas and became the Kranks. This year we are all Charlie Brown, excited and joyful, thankful for the years we had with Mother, have the tree up, and wishing everyone a Happy and Joyous Christmas!!!! Joy to the world!! Thats the Christmas spirit. Eat that :) You will feel better! I do. Merry Christmas....
