For the love of a well lived life. It truly takes so many different kinds of aspects
in proper doses to create a life that you are proud to live. For me, it’s been a continuous journey of
trial and error. But fortunately I seem to err on the side of caution (mostly)
and somehow, my slightly mischievous nature seems to keep me on the good side of the law
(whew!!!!). Truth be told, it brings a delight to my slightly warped nature to cause
my daughters to question what their momma is up to (it could be a bit of revenge
for their teenage years). Of
course, I once again awoke at 2:00 am thinking about a topic to write
about. I really try to write once a week
to keep blog master, Kristi happy. But sometimes
the words just seem to pour out of me and I have no control…. I just wish it
was a more reasonable hour.
I was asked to review and write about a new cookbook…. And 3
were offered. I chose one near and dear to my heart and the flour frenzy commenced! I did share the title on my S-Wheat Farm page…
then I found out it wasn’t going to be available in August…. And the publishing
company asked that I perhaps make a debut of it mid-July.
Then my crazy brain starting thinking how life is sort of
like a recipe. It takes a lot of sugar
to sweeten up your world, flour is the stability factor – sort of a plain ordinary
everyday kind of staple, but that is okay.
Then you add in the leavening factor like soda or baking powder – which
stirs up ingredients and makes the mixture rise – which I attribute to not so
pleasant areas in a person’s life…… you have to experience some unpleasant
stuff to grow and rise above the situation.
Then you get to fold in the spices…. Vanilla, cloves, cinnamon and all
the spicy good stuff that truly makes it perfectly seasoned, and small doses
are needed to ensure just the right amount makes you appreciate the overall
flavor. The eggs and butter just seem to
add a richness to one’s life and without it, your life and the recipe would be bland or fail. Then of course the creation must
be properly baked in just the right temperature to turn out. Too hot, it burns, under baked it falls and
never reaches its potential. Then a perfect creation emerges from all the different
things that are needed to create a master piece….. you and (okay) maybe
me.
And today, I didn’t want to turn on the TV because of today’s
events that unfolded in Orlando, which is a sad example of a life that somehow
ended up being mixed up all wrong and the results ended up disastrous to so
many. My heart hurts and I just want to
bake and make it all better for those grieving people. With that, please grab your loved ones, hug
them, call them or drop in and say tell them you love them to the moon and
back. XoXoXo Gayle
