希望大家都會非常非常幸福~
「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上，最重要的一件事，就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己，你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗，耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己，你才能體會所有美好的東西，所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己，你才有愛人的能力，也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步，就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去，以無沾無滯的輕快心情，大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步，則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇，願意接受未知的指引；也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊，一路雲淡風輕。親愛的，你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人，在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行 .............................................................................................................
有時，你覺得痛。胃痛的時候，接受它，承認這個疼痛是你的身體的一部份，與它和平共處。心痛的時候，接受它，承認這個經驗是你的生命的一部份，與它和平共處。抗拒痛的存在，只會讓它更要證明它的存在，於是你就更痛。所以，.無論你有多麼不喜歡痛的感覺，還是要接納這個痛的事實。與你的痛站在同一邊，不逃避，不閃躲，不再與你的痛爭執，如此，你的痛才會漸漸不再胡鬧，才會乖乖平息下去。.................

2007-11-22T22:29:00.000-08:00

Well, my kids are African-American, and believe me, they didn't need books to learn about racism - they experienced it first-hand as children and continue to as adults. Racism is definitely NOT a thing of the past - it is alive and well and still ugly in America, as anyone with non-European friends or family could tell you. Its one thing to provide children with books which explore the topic of racism "Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry" leaps immediately to mind - and quite another, in my opinion, to provide books which are blatantly racist. I'm afraid "Little House on the Prairie" falls into the latter category. We do vote with our dollars. I won't shop at evil Wal-mart, and I won't buy children's books that have a blatantly racist point of view.

2007-11-20T22:17:00.000-08:00

Hmmmm.... not to start an off topic debate, but the racist remarks and attitudes in those books sparked many an important discussion in my house about why people used to feel that way, and why we know better now. It became a valuable learning tool. That is honestly the way many people believed back then, and probably some folks now. I won't shelter my kids from it, they need to be exposed to it to understand it. IMO.

2007-11-20T21:07:00.000-08:00

Hate to put the damper on the fond remembrances of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books because I enjoyed them as a child too. However, when I looked at them for my own children, I was absolutely appalled at the racist depiction of Indians in Little House on the Prairie, so much so that I decided against introducing them to my own children.

2007-11-20T09:23:00.000-08:00

I think of Laura Ingalls in Indian Territory, being stunned into silence over receiving her -very own- tin cup AND a shiny penny, and a pretty cake. How many of us would be truly grateful to receive such a gift? And how many of us would be sorely disappointed?

I am grateful for Thanksgiving. It is a time for me to count my blessings, to have a feast, and to be with family.

I, the Queen of the stove-top casserole, seldom cook feasts. So when I do, we all enjoy it fully and without guilt. :) I'm personally looking forward to dinner on Thursday, with a wild turkey, and some homemade pie.

2007-11-20T06:44:00.000-08:00

Please forgive my sense of humor...but when I read your post, unlike the others that reminisced over the fond memories of Laura Ingalls Wilder books, all I could think of was you telling me "Hey fatty! Put down the cupcake!". (Now, I'm not being modest when I say that I'm really sadly incredibly overweight...so please no one scold me on the use of the word 'fatty'. My size has 'earned' me the right to say it.)

Of course, I absolutely agree with the message in your post. If we saved the treats/desserts for truly special celebrations--it would mean so much more to us. I keep trying to tell my children that dessert is a privilege and not a right. The constitution did not state life, liberty, and the pursuit of chocolate...

Anna Marie --

Hello from another American in the UK -- I am about to start cooking for Thanksgiving tomorrow -- we are having our meal on Saturday because all my British friends have to work on Thursday. I have been making Thanksgiving here in the UK for about 6 years now and my British friends really like it!

2007-11-20T00:25:00.000-08:00

Aren't the Little House books marvelous? I remember one episode where Mary pushed away her chair from the fire, stating she was "too warm." And Laura wrote, "What a marvelous thing to be too warm." That sentence always reminds me not to take heating and food for granted.

For a number of years, I didn't celebrate Thanksgiving. I was single and far apart from family, so to me it was really just a long weekend from work to chill out. After I got married in my late thirties, Thanksgiving became more important, particularly since I moved to the UK where it isn't celebrated. I have had great fun introducing these American customs to my British relatives. Everything on my table is from my garden or the local farmer's marketanyhow, so Thanksgiving was a chance to make a feast out of all this lovely food and to share it with my family. The best bit is that there is no American football to suffer through on the television! Have a splendid Thanksgiving Sharon.

Best wishes,

Anna Marie

2007-11-19T11:41:00.000-08:00

I've been reading Barbara Kingsolver's book _Animal, Vegetable, Miracle_ and just this morning read her section on Thanksgiving. After having spent considerable energy growing food to last them the rest of the year and succeeding, Thanksgiving to her and her family was a celebration of true thanks. She is unashamedly fond of Thanksgiving as a harvest holiday and reading her explanation of all that it means nearly brings tears to my eyes. In the context of a harvest festival, I feel it's totally appropriate to feast outrageously.

As for appreciating every meal, last night I made a very local supper of latkes with applesauce. The potatoes had come from the CSA as had the onions, the kefir I added was made from local milk (okay, the tiny amounts of baking powder, flour and salt weren't local) and the applesauce was a delightful surprise from last year's canning of local apples I had harvested while living in Wisconsin. These were cooked in schmaltz (fat rendered from local chickens). I invited a friend over and all I can say is that we were brimming with happiness from so simple a meal. He'd never had latkes before and wasn't sure if he liked them better with or without applesauce but decided it was all good.

While I can't say that I'm always this appreciative of every meal, I give thanks for being able to feed myself simply and regularly. Eating locally and seasonally makes it easier to enjoy the food the nourishes myself and my friends.

"Thanksgiving has become for the most part a commercial celebration where people find an excuse to pig out."

Interesting, it actually seems the opposite to me: that Thanksgiving has real meaning and is a family/harvest/feast oriented holiday fairly immune (thus far) to commercial stuff. I like it all the better for this reason.

2007-11-19T10:42:00.000-08:00

My sons loved "Farmer Boy." They read it repeatedly on their own at ages 5 and 8. My younger son was an early reader.

Yes, it's so discouraging and sad to see most people in our empire culture feasting (generally with factory farmed animals/meats and refined carbohydrates) three times a day, seven days a week and then acquiring the diseases of decadent queens and kings of the past -- obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, cancer, etc.

Thanksgiving has become for the most part a commercial celebration where people find an excuse to pig out.

My family does not really celebrate Thanksgiving per se, with the exception that it's a day off work for my husband and older son so my husband and I usually cook something special. This time we're having an organic eclectic "menu" of portabella mushroom, black beans Cuban style, Yucca with lots of garlic, brown rice, steamed collards, and salad. We only indulge in desert a few times per year. I'll be making a vegan pumpkin pie with soft tofu (yummy!).

On another note, a Native American friend of ours despises Thanksgiving. He says that it's an American celebration of the genocide of Native Americans. I tend to agree.

Poor turkeys!

2007-11-19T08:49:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving has become so emotionally fraught for me that this year we're doing chicken curry and watching whatever marathon the Discovery Channel is running.

I've been thinking about the oft-quoted statistic that the average person in Cuba lost 20 pounds after the withdrawal of support from the Soviet Union. 20 pounds would put me just this side of the "unhealthy weight" numbers by BMI; I wouldn't enjoy it, but I've been that thin before and could still function. DH could spare 40 easily; DS, not an ounce.

2007-11-19T06:36:00.000-08:00

Good post! And although we rarely eat out anymore (and when we do, it's the local pizza place - independent, and better for it), I thought it might be worth posting what I used to do when we frequented restaurants more often (what happens all too easily when you're overbusy and commute to work)... and a few thoughts on feasts...

Restaurants typically serve overlarge portions because people who go away hungry usually don't come back -- and they tell their friends. Raised like many folks not to leave food on the plate (there are children starving in X -- um, how does this help them?), I usually tried to eat everything. On the other hand, in some cultures you're supposed to leave a little food on the plate to indicate that they have been good hosts and have served enough food....

So, I started doing one of two things:

1) I ordered a meal, separated about half of it to one side of the plate and ate only half. The other half came home in a box for a second meal. I gave an approximation on the halves because some things really don't reheat well, and you can always add some veggies at home if the half that came home is a little light for a meal.

2) I ordered something off the appetizers/soup/salad menus. Something I could actually finish and not be overfull. Useful if you won't be home soon and you don't have a cooler with you.

Just a couple of thoughts for those folks who are still eating out.

We do something like this at holidays too, because there's always too much food. At Thanksgiving all the leftovers are bagged/containerized, and whatever our usual hostess isn't keeping for the kids, goes with other family members. Since my SIL who hosts is diabetic, we all especially make sure to take any extra sweet/carb stuff. Stuffing freezes well too, so it isn't like you have to eat it right away. We do have a problem with too many pies (everyone has their own favs), so I'm thinking that next year I may bring a container with me to put a few slices into -- I just can't eat that much sugar at once! (yes, next year -- we celebrated this past Saturday. Thursday I'll be at home, recovering from arthroscopic procedure on my right shoulder).

At Christmas we go to a friend's house, and her mother always makes tons of different types of cookies and also fudge. There's an expectation you'll take some home (kind of a holiday gift as it were), so we do... but it takes quite a long while for us to eat them. Again, these foods can be frozen or chilled to last longer, so there's no "need" to eat it all at once.

my two cents,
Heather G

2007-11-19T06:19:00.000-08:00

My husband and I started a 100-mile diet Nov. 1. We're both finding that the good local fresh foods are more satisfying, in smaller quantities, than industrial food. "Feast" is more than just a table groaning with food; I've found it can be a modest portion of really tasty local freshly-cooked foods. We'll have a Colorado-grown heritage turkey, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes grown at our CSA, winter greens, and pumpkin pudding with local pumpkin, milk, cream and eggs. I haven't found a local source of flour, so no piecrust yet.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. I'm thankful I've found Sharon's blog. It has changed my life.

2007-11-19T05:45:00.000-08:00

This made me smile. I was eating an orange the other day (my choice for my out of state treat) and thinking about the passage in Little House in the Big Woods about getting an orange in the Christmas stocking and what a treat it was. I have to confess that I've never thought about how much I like oranges until they became the treat item.

As someone who fights weight issues, I've thought a lot about sweets needing to be a food for celebrations, not for everyday eating. Sharon is quite right about them becoming every day food in our society. One of the things that I've been really thankful about with the 90% project is that I've returned to something like an orange becoming a treat. I've also lost 20 pounds since I sold my car and started walking/busing!

2007-11-19T04:53:00.000-08:00

I grew up in poverty as deep as Laura Ingalls, and there were lots of times when food was in very short supply. I vividly recall going to bed with my tummy rumbling more often than not as a kid. I read all the other Little House books back then, but I could never get into Farmer Boy because the descriptions of food made me cry. As an adult I've had a real problem with food; I'm not overweight but I have a problem not finishing food, not using up leftovers, and even before I got into the whole climate change/peak oil issue, I was a real food hoarder. If I didn't have a month of food in the house (except for non-perishables) I felt and feel a real panic. Not it's more like 6 months to a year.

In the end, it may turn out to be a good thing. It might just save my butt.

2007-11-18T22:58:00.000-08:00

I also enjoyed the wonderful energy of the descriptions from Farmer Boy.

This issue of food is an important one. I've eaten as much organic as possible for year, but the last couple of weeks I've been cutting way down on the amount of animal products I eat. Initially this was to lose weight (and I have been) but I've been surprised how much clearer-headed and energetic I've felt.
