There are a lot of vitamins out there. We all know about and have heard of Vitamins A, D, E, K and all the B's...but have you ever heard of Vitamin F?
It's a Vitamin that nourishes our hearts as well as our souls. Vitamin F is the vitamin of friends/family.
How do you know when you are getting enough Vitamin F? Have you ever gone out to dinner with a best friend and not eat that much food because you are eating up their presence? Even with family on Thanksgiving too, that is the most nourishing day of all. We always seem to complain how full we are and how we can't eat another bite, but the fact is it was more than just the food that we were "eating."
We are very social beings and we are fed off of other people through communication and even their touch. There are times when we feel like we don't want to be social and that is fine, but we always end up talking to or being with a friend one way or another.
Vitamin F helps enriches our hearts and allows us to relate and smile. Smiling multiplies our love inside and keeps our sanity in check too.
Ever see the movie Castaway with Tom Hanks? He was fulfilling his nutritional needs by eating the fish he caught and the food he found growing on the island, BUT even when he was fulfilled nutritionally he was still in need of one more: Vitamin F. He ultimately found his Vitamin F in his buddy Wilson. Remember his friend Wilson? If it wasn't for Wilson he wold have never have gotten off the island. Even his love for his girlfriend (Helen Hunt) helped him to get off of the island too. Good ol' Vitamin L, too.
Next time you eat with friends, look at how much more you are getting fed off of them more than you are from the actual food in front of you.
