Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

This was a meal fit for a king:  large delicious, sweet local blueberries with a cut up banana with milk and cereal.  It was a perfect breakfast.  I had sampled the blueberries before buying them. And only then did I buy them.  My wife ate two bowls of them with some sugar sprinkled on them.  I thought that was overkill.  I was glad I bought a quart of them at the local Amish store.  They are disappearing quickly.

It is so easy to take your blessings for granted.  Today I was grateful I could also buy some bananas along with a gallon of milk.  It is near the end of the month and we are running out of cash.  I was grateful I could buy what I could.  It is always revealing what you would buy if you are down to your last dollar.  It is so easy to take your blessings for granted.  God owns everything.  I had to remind myself of that.

I quickly packed a lunch to be eaten on the run and felt like a king.  I had a sandwich (rye bread) smeared with strawberry rhubarb jam.  Included also was a ripe Anjoi pear, a banana and I filled a liter bottle with apple cider.  I felt very grateful I had all that to bring with me.  Life is full of many small pleasures.
