March to Jeannette - dinner at noon

 

Here is the last of three outgoing March envelopes. This one was not part of a series even though I had hoped to figure out a gorgeous J for all 8 J-people. I don't want to spoil the upcoming stories about why the March envelopes were so hit or miss. Sometimes I think we are all in survival mode. And don't start getting all optimistic about how nice it's going to be when the weather is gorgeous. That's a trick. It just means that the weeds are going to launch their attack.....grrrrr.

Did anyone think of a good reason to eat your big meal at noon? This is probably the main reason that I do it. 

Health-Conscious Individuals: Those following advice that aligns with the body's circadian rhythm may choose to have their heaviest meal earlier in the day to improve digestion and metabolism, as the body is better equipped to process food for energy during daylight hours.

For what it's worth - I figured out that having a big noon meal and then one light snack later in the day felt so much better. So that's what I do. The only hard part is that I need to stick with that routine - and if I am invited to a dinner - I have to decline - because I do not want to put up with the consequences. This doesn't go over very well with people. I come across as selfish. But, it's all part of leaning in to the process of aging.

A lot of us have spent our whole lives being polite - and being quiet about some kind of consequence that we had to handle whilst being polite. When you get old - there is an easing of obligations. Sometimes you can convince people that you have an age related situation and you're not just being selfish.
