| Food for the Spirit AND the Body! |
| The Wonders of the World In a geography class, the teacher was discussing the wonders of the world. Since there are several lists (ancient, modern, natural), she asked the students to each compile their own lists of the seven greatest wonders of the world. While there were many variations, these were the ones most commonly picked: 1. The Great Pyramids of Egypt 2. The Taj Mahal 3. The Grand Canyon 4. The Panama Canal 5. The Empire State Building 6. St. Peter's Basilica 7. The Great Wall of China While gathering the votes the teacher noticed that one student, a quiet little girl, hadn't handed in her paper yet. When asked if she needed help with her list, the girl responded: "Well, yes, I do. I can't make up my mind. There are just so many of them..." The teacher asked her to read aloud what she already had and perhaps the class could help her. The little girl hesitated, then read: 1. to touch 2. to see 3. to taste 4. to hear 5. to feel 6. to laugh 7. to love The silence in the classroom was deafening. And the little girl's list was voted the Seven Greatest Wonders of the World. In our quest to find the great truths of our lives, let us not overlook the little, daily ones. |

| My therapist says that I should concentrate on the positive things in life. As I go looking for them, I'll send them on to you (for a donation)... And, because you should never take a trip without a little something to nosh on, I'll include a few really good recipes I've found along the way, too! |
