"'Aging with Grace: What the Nun Study Teaches Us About Leading Longer, Healthier and More Meaningful Lives,' by David Snowdon shows the power attitudes have in the life of each individual. A group of nuns, ranging in age from 75 to 104, allowed themselves to undergo testing. The nuns with a positive perspective experienced a longer and more content life." -- (excerpted from the article "The Importance of Gratitude" from The Huntsville Item).
Well our order is no exception. We were very thankful that Sister Fry Cook was able to whip up a great Thanksgiiving dinner, sans turkey. Yes, I said, without the bird. We had one all ready to go, but it looked at us, we looked at it and well, let's say that idea flew the coop. So, we have one new member to our flock, who has gone from being simply referred to as "the turkey" to Sister Many Feathers. She's a lovely bird and we feel much prettier alive.
We did have many wonderful side dishes and took a "stab" at tofurkey. Not bad actually. And since we did away with a real turkey, and not being ones to suffer too much, we delved into more of the "spirits," shall we say. It seemed the much more holier way to go, if I do say so myself. Nectar of the gods, indeed!
