Leftovers

Filed under: John Morgan's Blog — John Morgan @ 7:42 am

“You can’t live on leftovers” opined The Grasshopper.

Eventually you have to cook a new meal in order to supply more leftovers.

Those who attempt to live on leftovers alone, have a crook in their neck from looking backwards.

Memories do live on and are a wonderful thing to look back on, but they can’t provide enough sustenance to live on.

My mother often said about her mother-in-law, my grandmother, that she could make a banquet out of leftovers. That is an admirable skill to have, but if you try and make a living at it, you will starve.

An anachronist is really a taxidermist attempting to stuff life into that which is dead. It’s a great parlor trick until you notice that you can’t live on the meat of a stuffed deer.

Leftovers have a short lifespan and eventually spoil if you attempt to use them as your only food source.

Your memories are the spice in life, never the meal.

When you confuse the two, you get the condition known as the heartburn of heartache. And like most heartburn, it’s self induced.

There’s a reason they only hold class reunions once in awhile. That’s because you run out of things to chew on when “Remember when” is the only thing on the bill of fare.

Cherish your memories and sprinkle them in whenever appropriate. It adds a nice dash to the meal.

When they are the sole ingredient, you leave your soul hungry – hungry for something new on the menu.

Here is today’s suggestion: Let’s try a new restaurant.

 

All the best,

John
