The importance of……enjoying

Always enjoy your meals, whether it is a luxurious four course meal or a simple plate full of vegetables

Now 2012 will arrive within a couple of days it is time to decide about next year’s intentions. Maybe it’s good to be more innovative this year and not only force yourself to visit the gym more often (you know it will only hold for a week weeks, if at all). Why not intend to enjoy more?

Western people spent less and less time on their meals (see blog Stop and Go). Most are combined with something else like working, travelling or watching TV. This trend influences the way we eat and the way our meals are received a lot.

Christmas, New Years and Epiphany are days which – for many people – are not related to religion anymore. Meeting friends and family, receiving presents and eat outstanding but never ending meals are the main events of these days.

Diners which are prepared with a lot of time, effort and probably love. Since these days only happen once a year it needs to be good. And even if it is not that good, rich or outstanding, it is important that you are together with your loved ones, sharing at least one and the same thing.

Since no one is in a hurry, these diners are the perfect moment to really enjoy. And if this is liked by so many of us, why not continue this behavior/tradition all the other 365 days of 2012 too?

ENJOY! And see you next year.
