Your blog’s description on the Gluten Free Global Community page at http://simplygluten-free.com grabbed my attention, and I’m glad it did. We’re the same age, and not knowing anybody else my age, nor anybody in my country, allergic to gluten, I was curious about your personal experience. Living in France with this dietary restriction has been difficult and socially isolating, to say the least. But you’re completely right, Sweetheart, even when you may be feeling down and not worth the extra effort, or you’ve absorbed one too many “sympathetic remarks” regarding your “disease,” taking a good moment to nurture and nourish yourself can turn your whole perspective around. Your mind and health will thank you for it.

Bon courage,
Jenny

I wish you continued good health in the years ahead. Although I do not have celiac disease, as I age, I have become increasingly focused on food as more of a fuel source and specifically think about what good it can do my body. Ultimately that affects my sense of well being which affects so much else in life — like noticing and appreciating the simple things. Your photography as always, is lovely!

I am hoping you take the care you need, and notice when that might be fading (sometimes it’s hard to realize until it gets really out of whack, I find). So much of this growing up thing (an ongoing process!) is about learning how to take care of yourself. I’m still learning.

I try to get myself out in nature for a walk when I’m feeling out of whack. A ramble in the woods always puts me back to sorts, and makes me hungry for what I need. xox

I find myself falling back on fast food (1/2 avocado with salt and pepper, apple with peanut butter, handful of nuts…) instead of peeling, chopping, mixing, cooking…it can be overwhelming. I’ve learned to do a couple dishes on the weekend in big amounts that will last me through the week. My doc assured me that as long as I don’t eat the same thing week in and week out, I’ll get my nutrients. So having a pot of soup, some muffins, and a casserole along with salad makins and eating that all week is helping. As I get stronger I’ll do more. I miss enjoying the cooking and freezing ahead that I used to do.

Happy anniversary. You are so worth it! I make meals for myself: some are slightly more elaborate than others: it’s just whatever I want to do.

I also buy flowers for myself and other things that make my condo pretty and a home!

These days, for me, making food is about nurturing, and creating an environment at home where cooking and eating are pleasureful experiences, where we take the time to enjoy things.

Would you mind if I submit it to the Edmonton CCA newsletter? I think it would be great to share your thoughts with others, and I can link it back to your site. Let me know! :)

We often take care of others but don’t take care of ourselves. I want some of the dish with the avocado on top. Yum.
