Needing the authentic

Carnation instant breakfast isn't food.  It tastes all right as far as substitute food drinks go, especially the chocolate version of it.  I hadn't drunk any in a long stretch of time until I started getting hungry again in the early morning hours.  So, recently, I have begun to start the work day with a little nutrition.  It worked.  It lasts for about 2-3 hours before it plays out, and it is a quick way of getting a few nutrients without cooking or eating out and spending much money.  Usually a person gets what he pays for.  But, in this case, it may just be a bargain.  My health is better.

Small fixes in life are many times just what the doctor ordered.  Those redirections of behavior toward one individual or two during the day can many times make the quality of  a day better.  Sometimes, finding a time during the day to make sure a little nagging task is getting accomplished gives just the right nudge to put the task behind and get on with a more enjoyable task.

Instant breakfast is not food, however, anymore than small daily adjustments in behavior are not going to cover the need to hear a laugh, see a smile, enjoy someone's company, sip a drink knowing that all is well with the world.

 I will have a glass of instant breakfast in the morning, but I know it is not authentic food.
