Reflection for January 2

Why do we never "eat" to anyone's health,
but always "drink" to it? Why should we not
stand up now and then and "eat a toast" to
somebody's success?

—Jerome K. Jerome

Reflection

For the victim of booze, there is always lurking fear of
solid food: there might be nourishment in it, as well as
the prospect of healthy thinking and living, all of
which must be avoided.

Affirmation

I'll feast on life itself today, between bites of food
taken, with due moderation.
