Ravioli

Today is National Ravioli Day. I remember as a child eating Chef Boyardee Ravioli. These were little pocket made from egg noodles, filled with some kind of filling. What the filling was, what it consisted of, what it contained, I don't want to know. I haven't eaten Chef Boyardee ravioli in some years but I do like ravioli.

Ravioli is a neat treat, especially if you like the unexpected. I have ordered ravioli not knowing the filling to find that it was quite tasty. I guess that is the appeal of ravioli, the unexpected.

Today's word is a quote I came across about the unexpected that I try to use to remind people that we have all been through things. It says, "Everyone comes with baggage. Find someone who loves you enough to help you unpack."

Everyone has a past. Everyone has something that they wish they had never done. Everyone has a moment or two or more of indiscretion they would love to live over. Everyone has things in their past that can really weigh them down if they allow it. Then, if they get into a relationship with the wrong person, that relationship can just add to and beat down and pack in more regrets. Everyone has baggage. Find someone who will love you enough not to pack in more, but to help you unload.

Ravioli, unexpected surprises. You may find that unpacking your baggage can be unpleasant but really satisfying. Now, go pick up a can of Chef Boyardee and enjoy.

Be Blessed,
