Whenever I get home from grocery shopping (which is almost daily), I think to myself, Happiness is a full fridge. Food is on the bottom level of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. You can't do much of anything without it.
I've been working with a great charity for the past month and wanted to share it. Food For Children is a branch of my local food bank. And every dollar they get provides five meals for children. And not just canned pantry items. Half of that is fresh produce. The stuff that smells and tastes oh! So good!
This video has some great interviews with families who benefit from the program. There are also some kids claiming that their favorite foods are broccoli and carrots. How fantastic is that?
I encourage everyone to donate time or money if they're able. If you're not from the area, you can find your local food bank here. Kids are out of school, so now is a great opportunity to help keep their refrigerators (and stomachs) full.
Someone asked me recently if I was fickle. I had to think about it. When I looked it up, the definition was inconsistent and given to change. But it came from an old English word that meant deceitful.
What I want to know is when did changing become a bad thing? There is an inherent difference between lying and changing your mind.
I guess one could say "Wait. I changed my mind, I did steal your lunch," but I think most of us can all agree that that is deceit. And just downright wrong. Who steals lunch?!?
I think fickle has gotten a bad rap. I've heard La donna รจ mobile. I know what people are saying about women and apparently spring. (*Gasp* And it's my favorite season!)
And it's true. I propose that being changeable makes you able to evolve and move throughout life. If nothing was able to change, there wouldn't be butterflies, humans would cower at lightning, and I wouldn't be writing this blog.
So I proudly answer the question: Damn straight I'm fickle!
I'm a fierce optimist. I believe in the power of making your life happen.
I started Sunny Sanguinity when I worked as a journalist, where I worked in what I jokingly called the Murder Section. Sunny Sanguinity was a way for me to put something positive into the world.
I'm no longer working in the newspaper industry, but I still like putting happy vibes onto the Internet. Thanks for reading!
