Hopefully third time's a charm for this is the third blogspot blog I have created. The other two never quite got off the ground. I was faithful to live journal once upon a time, but even there haven't posted since before the summer began. I have so much in my head that this blog is necessary. As I contemplated Spaghetti-O's today, I knew I needed some sort of outlet for my thoughts. I love to cook and have learned to love food so much that to talk about Spaghetti-O's to some would be blasphemous. However that when I was growing up it was a good day in the Lord household when we could afford the brand name Spaghetti-O's instead of the generic versions that never ever tasted as good. Of course it usually meant the food stamps had come in so fruit roll ups and Spaghetti-O's here we come. Occasionally I bring a can to work and it hits the spot. So today as my lunch was heating I was contemplating the interesting space of how our past can "shape" us or inform the decisions we make. Sometimes it's an easy connect to where it comes from, and other times to code is much harder to break. Anywho I am grateful my lunch motivated me to make a blog.
