G-D giveth and G-D taketh away, I’m just following that philosophy as I eat. For I’m not part of the clean plate club as I attempt to set aside a piece before my first bite and leave a slice of it till the end. This is my “attempt” at sacrifice for the mistakes I made before such a meal and the gratefulness I have for eating one in the 1st place. It’s a small gesture that I hope in someway recognizes that even with all my efforts that only one decides my ultimate price and G-D willing I’ll continue to do this for many, many meals to come.
