One of my favorite sayings, from Mary Poppins, but presumably according to a British maxim of a bygone (at least, too much, too much!!) era is “enough is as good as a feast.”
And if you “enough” well, then every day is a feast, isn’t it?
And if fasting is practicing enoughing, then fasting is feasting, isn’t it?
And to do without is to INCREASE, is it not, if enough is a feast?
Let me speak plainly, as an American: gratitude has cash value.
I’m playing. I’m playing. But I’m also completely serious.
