Just a thought . . . we were having a really nice dinner this week and I noticed that the couple at the table next to us were not talking, and the woman was focusing all her attention on her phone.  The man was staring into space.  Not only was the personal connection disconnected, but I imagine there was a disconnection to the food as well.  We were tasting and commenting on each other’s food, and while we may have eaten more than we would normally, we enjoyed every bite!

This has not been the case for me in the past.  I’ve mostly journeyed through eating and other events mindlessly and as a result cannot recall what I ate or details about the event.  I’ve promised myself to pay more attention, and that is a new behavior and is not always accomplished easily.  But when I do – what a difference it makes!
