What feeds you?

Yesterday in a meeting Dr. Yost propsed a question that he had been thinking about…. “what feeds you?” While I managed to use my “filter” (that I VERY rarely use) and not blurt out my answer, I must admit, I was thinking “My refrigerator feeds me.”

Obviously this was not the type of soul searching he was talking about. I quickly realized this when the responses from the older, wiser, and more “filtered” people in the room came out : family, friends, co-workers, God.”

So what feeds me (other that the refigerator?)

a family that loves me and supports me in everything

friends, I have some of the best friends in the entire world, I am certain of it

Jenn-laughing with her can give me enough “food” even when I am on empty. She is a better friend than I could ever be.

Amy- even when we are half way across the country she gives me life, hope, and reminds me that God works everything out b/c of how He has worked in our friendship

Sunshine.

working out. I admit, sometimes an obcession, but, it does give me energy and life.

relationships, especially intentionally having people in life that I can learn from, and also those that can learn from me. I think one of the best things in life is to allow others to speak into it.

hugs….physical touch is one of my love languages.

LAUGHTER

learning. For as long as I live I want to be learning more about the world, myself, and God. I want to be challenged everyday.

my nightly routine of cleaning, showering, lighting a candle, journaling in dimmed lights, praying, then going to sleep. It feeds me because it allows me to reflect on the day, and give me energy for the next.

God….putting together the pieces of where He is has been, gives me hope that no matter where life takes me He will continue to open more (and better) doors as He has, although, often it is difficult to trust in that

and…in terms of my first answer:
my 6 staples:

apples
yogurt
almond butter
eggs
deli turkey
diet coke.

….that is what feeds me. So Jenn…now that you have used my quote as your status you must also write a blog about what feeds YOU.
