This is Fruitycake. I may be the apple of your eye.
After all, fruit is part of my name.
But I would also like to be the black eyed pea of your belly. Yes. I said it.
My diet got changed this weekend. I’ve been so sick. And the persons were told I had to eat more vegetables and less meat and more fish. Well, I was a bit worried about that advice. But I was more worried that I would keep getting sicker.
You see, since the persons adopted me, I’ve had a lot of sicknesses. No vet person has been able to figure out exactly what is wrong. And so we try different things.
Sometimes it helps for a little while. But then, we have to change again.
A black eyed pea has a few colors. Just like me.
A black eyed pea can make you happy when your heart is hungry. Just like me.
I wouldn’t have picked a bowl of black eyed peas to eat before last week. But I tried them. And they were delicious. So delicious, that I wondered how I lived without them before.
There may be friendships in our lives or changes we may need. But we don’t knew it yet.
But when you’re lacking in something, have your heart be open to trying to change.
Be open to new love. New friends. New experiences.
A new year doesn’t change you overnight. But it is sure a great place to start. With a big bowl of black eyed peas.
