I hate having the stomach flu. I hate the feeling it leaves on your tongue. I hate the days it takes to be able to eat good food again. I bought some really good pork ribs and couldn't cook them or even think about eating them.
We take so many things for granted, like being able to eat. I love food and attempt to make very good food. Food is one of my passions. Food, flavor is so individual. I can make a meal for ten people and no two will enjoy it the same. Taste, touch, sight, sound, smell are all so individual.
When my father passed away I kept a winter jacket I had bought him. It had his smell on it and reminded me of him. It is strange to know that I will never know his smell again. It is strange to know that there are many people I will not see in the same way again. It is strange to know that there are people I will never touch again or hear their voice.
Our senses create memories. I remember touching the hands of my first girlfriend, they were very soft. I remember holding my children for the first time. I remember so many sensations.
You matter, you are important and you are capable of knowing more than you do. You know that you exist and that can lead you to knowing other truths. If you bother, you can know other people and their truths. If you are interested in a subject, click the tag at the bottom of any post for more posts on the same general subject.

Well Taken Care Of
I am continuing to fight with my stomach; but, have finally kept down some soup. I am well taken care of and people in my house actually make me food and help. I don't want the readers thinking I am not taken care of.
I wish I could sleep; but, I cannot. I am bone exhausted and can't sleep. I can't think either so don't expect any words of wisdom, I am just trying to wind down by writing. Not a thought in my head.
