Yes it is stressful out there. You might as well turn off the radio and TV if you are looking for a pick me up. We can not change what is going on around us, but when can choose how we feed our ears, our souls and our bodies. Call a neighbor or friend. Maybe someone who has been laid off. And invite them to dinner. It need not be fancy- or set you back a lot of money. Ask your friends to bring a dish and share- stories, friendship. Sharing your table, your garden perhaps, your family recipes- you are sharing yourself.

And by sharing a meal we are building friendships, healthy habits and communities. Together we will all get through this time- bon appetit!
