Soul Food

Some of you many know, I am training for a half marathon...yep, call me crazy but I'm going to do it!  I have a lot of time to think and listen to really cheesy pop music on a daily basis and today a thought popped in my head...
"Your tummy isn't the only thing that needs food...what about your soul?"
I was in a real funk yesterday morning (not sure why) and I think I was in need of food for my soul.  During my 32 minutes car ride to work, I was flipping through the stations and landed on a Christian Rock channel which was playing a song my Mom likes (Everlasting God) and I started to sing along...all while smiling.  That was two big bites of soul food breakfast right there!  A few hours later, I received a call from a friend/colleague.  I was really busy but I still took the call, glad I did, it totally lifted my spirits.  Her energy feed my soul, just like the song did. A few more bites. 
Later on in the afternoon some work friends and I started laughing until we CRIED over an email that was sent.  My soul was feeling pretty full.  Nothing beats a laugh-til-you-cry moment!  THEN to top it all off, I dropped into my local nail place for a polish change...FREE of charge.  That was the cherry on my soul food sundae.  
Just a thought a for the day...you will start reading about my recipes for the soul along with recipes for the stomach.
