Today I made a comment at a luncheon that it was nice to be able to get out and eat in a restaurant after cooking for myself during the pandemic, although I like to cook. I didn't mention my health needs. The man sitting next to me said his wife quit cooking when he retired. Evidently people don't appreciate all the good they do for themselves when they plan well and cook nutritious meals for their health. I watched a friend cook even though she was in a wheelchair and know that I want to take good care of myself for the good that it does during my declining years. I would not consider eating out of cans and boxes and ordering take out or fast food all the time. Sometimes it becomes a matter of self respect to do the best you can for your well being. I want my last years to be good ones, if possible.
