Lead, Follow or Get out of the Way.........

Despite feeling exhausted and in a great deal of pain, today was the day to actually get back in the kitchen and construct a complete recipe.  Fortunately in the past year or so of being home, I was silently drawn back to my love of cooking.  The result was that before surgery with some help my freezer was filled with yummy entrees, and I've been enjoying those spoils ever since.

It is a double sided sword as I so love to spend time and create in my kitchen but standing to chop, stir and create sends my pain level through the roof and completely drains my energy.  None the less, today I decided to embark on the journey yet again. 

Being silently drawn has indeed not led me astray.  I have plenty of leftovers to graze on for the next few days, hope to attempt another treat tomorrow, energy permitting........but most important is the satisfaction of not only completing a yummy recipe but also managing to clean my kitchen all before retiring to enjoy a cup of tea and bask in the joy of accomplishments.  As I've quieted the noise in my life, the resulting "pulls" of writing and cooking have yielded enormous rewards for me.  Wonder where the "pulls" will lead me next?
