I wasn’t privileged to grow up eating oatmeal for breakfast. In fact we didn’t even have pancakes for breakfast! That was Saturday lunch. I have grown to almost enjoy oatmeal: almost. If it has sugar in it or stuff on it I can eat it and savor the fact that I won’t be hungry until lunch. I might want food but I can live without food till lunch.
There are times in life I have learned that I have to simply pretend I like oatmeal. It’s not always oatmeal sometimes it’s people, incidents, misunderstandings, angry words spoken to me or lies. Sometimes it’s people causing me to change my direction because they don’t want to do the right thing. I just have to pretend it’s oatmeal and wait till lunch for something better to happen!

NO ONE LIKES OATMEAL. You have to eat it because it’s good for you and if Mom or God is looking, you have to pretend to like it. Syrupy homemade jam works pretty well to hide the flavor. It’s a sure thing, it won’t hurt you. Pat
