Food and Promises

     Sometimes it rules our lives, sometimes it makes our saddest times bearable, but most of all it is fuel for our bodies. Food has always played a major part in my life and I think I'm mostly writing about it now because I am starving and made a wonderful lunch today. But I get to thinking about food and all of the properties in the things that we eat, how they help us, how they hurt us, it's all pretty interesting. Food is what defines certain cultures and keeps us all alive. I guess it is up to the person to make the right food choices to live a long and healthy life. I promise to make healthy choices when I chose which foods I put in my body at least 75% of the time. At least that gives me two healthy meals a day on off days.
     For other promises, I've committed to reading the bible all the way through with Zach. I am a little nervous about it, but extremely excited at the same time. I am ready to learn more about his thoughts and how they will affect me, but I'm nervous that it will some how fall through and that we won't stick with it until the end. I believe that I have it in me and I think that it will be a really good move for me, but I also think that I have to take this seriously. I am the only person who will cause me to succeed in life and as I'm learning that more and more I want to succeed. I am not depending on anyone else for my future. I am depending on me. And that is the most profound realization that I have had in my adult life so far.


Here's to good luck, food, and promises!
