Remember To Nourish Yourself
“I’m the only one in the house that likes this”
I said this yesterday when at the farmer’s market with my toddler. She and I were getting nice, colorful, healthy food for home (yay!) and I saw some delicious concord grapes for sale.
I LOVE concord grapes. They’re my favorite. I love the texture and the flavor is quintessential “grape” flavor. Yum.
I let my daughter try one and she spit it out immediately. And I already know my husband doesn’t like them (he prefers large, hard, green Costco-style engineered grapes)..
I had the grapes in my hand, and I decided to put them back. I reasoned with myself “I’m the only one in the house that likes these. I’ll get something everyone else likes.”
I forgot — if I get something that everyone else in the house likes, I’m getting something I DON”T like as much!
I forgot — I am also someone in my house!
I forgot — luckily, we are comfortable enough to afford two kinds of grapes!
I didn’t get the concord grapes. And I just had lunch, and man am I missing them.
So, here’s a reminder to you — do what nourishes you. You’ve got to take good, good care of yourself, too.
I’ll remind myself the same next week at the farmer’s market.
