Post Ration Challenge

So how was it the morning after?
It was chilly and I didn't feel in any hurry to get out of bed. (The Ration Challenge was due to finish at breakfast time. I wondered how many people had a very early breakfast!)
I didn't feel hungry and there was almost  feeling of anticlimax - a bit like after exams are over or a major project completed. You look forward to it for so long and when the time comes.....
Toast seemed a a luxury. and I wasn't even sure I needed coffee. I opted for moderation so a piece of toast with avocado and a weak coffee started the day. Later at a sumptuous afternoon tea it was the cut up persimmon that took my fancy and still the hot water seemed refreshing.
There was almost a sense of guilt. The refugees are still there doing it tough.
My appetite is small but we did enjoy the vegetables with dinner.
It seems it takes adjusting when you finish a week like that as well as when you start.
My innards rebelled (You are interested in my innards, aren't you?) and are feeling a bit delicate.

To sum up:
We've gained in appreciation of what we have - in abundance and a multitude of choices.
We've learnt that we can live very nicely on less.
We've thought a little more of the plight of refugees.
And we've been supported so warmly by many friends.

That's it, folks. Thank you for sharing the journey with us.
