Hi all.

If you know me at all, you will know that I almost NEVER forward. I have never

forwarded a chain letter as far as I know. I did think though that this was

appropriate. I got this from a mailing list of devotions. I thought it

particularly appropriate for anyone thinking about weight issues. It seemed to

fit well for me anyway, YMMV.

Today's thought from Hazelden is:

To be alive is to be hungry.

Our appetite for life is good. It keeps us reaching, growing, enjoying, and

yearning to fulfill our potential. When our basic needs are satisfied, our

hunger propels us to search for more elaborate gratification.

Here is where we often run into trouble. Instead of progressing through the

hierarchy of needs to the spiritual level, we get stuck in an attempt to make

quantity - more things, more people, and more activity - substitute for quality.

And quantity alone is never enough.

It's good that we're hungry. Our appetite motivates us to feed our body in a

healthy way and also to feed our mind, heart, and spirit. Our needs pyramid, and

our hunger leads us beyond quantity to the quality experiences that fill our

emptiness. We read, we share, we love, we pray, we listen, we accomplish, we

dance, and we feast on the fullness of life.

Today, I will direct my appetite to quality experiences.You are reading from the
