My gratitude fast ended at 6 p,m. today when I went to a birthday dinner for friends. I ate a small piece of lemon chicken and a smaller piece of sweet and sour chicken, a scoop of mashed potatoes, a scoop of steamed squash, a green salad and a piece of homemade black forest cake. I ate a few dried apples on the drive there and back. Life is good. Three different women at church commented on my tiny size. Keep moving and keep eating moderately.
