It is official.....the novelty has definitely worn off. I find myself thinking about food all the time and as my food supply gets less and less it causes me stress. It makes me wonder if I will be able to make the food especially the protein least until Thursday. However, I went to the grocery store today to buy my hotdog but found out they don't sell them in bulk anymore. I did find a package of shaved roast beef on sale...today only....for $.50. That was my highlight.
I can only imagine how the clients feel having to depend on the food bank to survive. As a mother and grandmother, I can't imagine how it would feel to try and feed your kids/grandkids or the stress it might cause.
I am also affected by the social aspect of eating. I am quite extroverted and being around people is important to me. I often go for coffee or for a meal with friends and this week I haven't been able to do that. I feel isolated. I wonder how many clients feel as I do.
On a more positive note, I am very thankful for the folks that support the food bank either by bringing in food items or cash. These kind folks are supporting me for the week and I thank God for them. Another example of loving your neighbour as yourself.
