“Don’t
forget to salt the rice.” ~ Artris Kelone
Good
Morning!
Jadenda shared
the following when she sent me this quote:
This is
something my father has been telling me since I was old enough to help
in the kitchen. Since
then, he and I have repeated it to my
children, also. It
was not until last
week while putting a pot of rice on to cook and pondering the actions
of my
twenty-year-old that I heard my father’s voice in a different light.
To most
people, this advice might not mean anything except a reminder to put
salt in
the rice while it is cooking because afterwards it matters not how much
you
add: it will not
turn out the same. But
to a mother of a twenty-year-old, I now
look at it as a word of warning about raising children.
I also see how it could apply to all
relationships. At
twenty, it is too late
or at least really hard, to instill good values.
So if you do not do it while you’re cooking
the rice – or raising the child – sometimes it is too late. This applies to showing
love, respect, and
discipline.
And yes, it
is hard sometimes to wait to see if I added just the right amount of
sale to
the rice.
Your Turn: What
relationships in your life need tending?
Don’t put off until tomorrow what you need to share today.
Today’s Affirmation: I
pay close attention to the needs of those around me.
And
as always, don't forget to
start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is
going to
happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And when ending
your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do
to
make today matter?
