Food Glorious Food!

Sometimes, the simplest things can cause a tremendous reaction.  Take tonight’s meal for example.  It was just a simple hamburger from a fast-food joint, but it was as good as Ambrosia to me.

You see, I’ve been “under the weather” for the past few days and haven’t eaten much; I just haven’t been hungry.  That changed today when my appetite started to come back.  Unfortunately, today was also the day when my wife is on a “clear liquids” diet for a procedure she has coming up in the morning.  Being a good husband, I didn’t want to eat in front of her because that would just be mean.

As the day wore on, my hunger started to grow.  Cindy kept insisting that our son and I go out and get something to eat, but we refused.  Finally, we gave in and headed out to the local BK.

Once there, we ordered and waited for our food.  Let me tell you that these folks were not living up to the “fast food” moniker.  I was starting to get antsy; not to the point of causing a scene, but I was starting to eat ketchup by itself.

Finally, the food arrived and I tore into it as though I had never eaten before.  It was unusually good.  Really, it was great!  I thoroughly enjoyed every bite.

Now, my appetite wasn’t quite up to normal because I didn’t eat as much as I normally would, but I was satisfied.

You’re probably thinking, “Tim, did you just write a blog post about a hamburger?”  Well, I guess I did, sort of.  The actual point of the post is to act as a reminder to be thankful for the small things in life (like a hamburger) because they can sure become important when you don’t get them for awhile.

Cheers.
