NaBloPoMo: Thirty Acts of Love: Day 15. Fried Food and Friends

This post, quite possibly, explains why I'm gaining back lost weight - although if I could exercise any sort of moderation, it wouldn't actually be a problem. I've somehow lost that ability lately.

I have a small group of friends that gathers on an irregular basis to eat cookie dough, Bloomin' Onions, pizza, and other foods that should not be consumed with any regularity. We also toss back glasses of prosecco - and since three of the four of us now live within walking distance, the prosecco tossing has increased.

We gather in honor of friendship, support, and love.

There have been tears in this group over the years - oh, have there been tears. Break-ups, put back togethers, deaths of beloved pets, worries over my babies, and now the coming death of a dad.

I wonder, does the eating of junk food and immediate forgiveness for it somehow create a little bit of love, the notion that we're all in this together-- human and imperfect? Or does the love in the room just take away all the negative feelings that would normally be associated with these indulgences?

What I don't wonder about is the healing power of it all.

Much love and thanks friends,
Elaine
