I share with you, Cheri, that it's wonderful knowing through our
proven healthy appetite, which is our proven ability to eat (i.e. the
Cutie orange in your case), that we aren't having a heart attack at
the moment in accordance with pure logic (healthy=wonderful &
appetite=hunger) and advise that you try to write that you're
"wonderfully hungry" since we've established here that you are:

So now how are you ?



...because we mindfully choose to openly care with our heart,
