Today at the supermarket as I arrived in front of the checkout line, the checker attempted a smile and said, "Hello."
"How's it going?" I asked.
The sigh deepened as she offered, "OK."
Feeling buoyant after the challenges of the last month, I spouted, "Beware of what you eat, drink and love." I stopped myself, no idea why those words collided.
She brightened and with a chuckle said, "Wow, may I write that down? That makes my day."
"Let's change it for a positive to "Stay Aware of what you eat, drink and love," I laughed and thanked her for encouraging my words to bounce.
The exchange left us both perkier.
Pushing my cart to the car, I wondered - Whatever did the words mean?
I pondered their expanded usage:
Eat! Savor healthful food and delight in the nourishment.
Drink! Indulge in every moment with all the senses.
Love! Begin by admiring yourself and give your Love away.
