Meal prayers.

.
.
Usually, pretty much every time I remember, or when I remember, I pray before meals.  I had a cousin ask why I don't do it before snacks.  Which, actually, made me a bit angry... initially.  He suggested I should.  He doesn't pray before anything!  The problem is, he was correct.  Regardless of his intent, I now pray before snacks too.  Oh, I do forget.  It's the nature of illness, age, reality.

However, once in a while, I don't pray immediately.  It's like sneaking some of His food.  It is... petulant?  Or... something, but in that neighborhood.  The thing is?  I know, acknowledge in my sneaking, that it is His food... not mine, yours, ours.  So, in even that case, I am acknowledging some very important things.  Now, before long, after a bite or such, I do offer prayer.  Just... an odd thing.  A very rare thing, but it does happen.  Had to laugh, when I realized how little I was actually getting away with.

I am hoping to get to bed early tonight.  No guarantee.  I seem to glide right through this stage of insomnia.  There is hope.  I have to be awake until chores.  I'd like to do some dishes, make soup, take a shower, start laundry.  I'm just not sure anything will happen.  Work, or an early sleep... hopes, goals, such.  Later.
