When I think of stuffing, I think of a turkey, all trussed up for Thanksgiving.
Too bad, we don't have more gratitude for life and what our Higher Power sends us. If we had more gratitude for what we have, then we would need to stuff those feeling and reactions to life when they appear.
Stuffing can be made up of many things and can be done for many reasons. Often it takes on the flavors of what is around and in it. Perhaps I need to find a place of acceptance for what is, instead of wanting to add to it, especially when I need to look outside of myself to make me feel better.

This evening I realized that I have been doing 'stuffing' using comfort foods. Instant garlic mashed potatoes, a 10" pumpkin pie (ate half in an evening, the other half by noon after having pie breakfast and pie lunch) Tonight I made blueberry muffins and haven't tasted them yet, don't want to get into the 'more' thinking. With the shooting death of a neighbor, a notice to the landlord saying that I would be looking for a new place and giving myself less than a month to find one, along with the chaos of living here, the emotional upheaval of my friend's death and my anniversary celebration, I can justify my behavior, but that doesn't make it right. Especially when I am trying to lose weight and using whipped cream with the pumpkin pie, makes my eating a definite disorder and something I need to address.
One day at a time, I do heal, I do get better. This too shall pass.

Aww yes... stuffing. I did very well this year. I did have 4 1/2 small pieces of pie with a little bit of cool whip. I did not overstuiff myself with food. I did berate myself some for the pie. I am not as hard on myself this morning. I do realize I need to work more on turning this problem over to my higher power.

Could have written this in today. No neighbors murdered, but a lot of people, dying from shootings in the city, and people not willing to protect themselves and others from this deadly virus that won't give up.
