Resentment over jam
I think I may have said on this forum before that resentment comes from the latin word 'sentire' which means to feel. So it means to 'feel again'
We only hurt ourselves by holding onto them - something I've always done.
Yesterday I heard someone say "Having a resentment is like drinking poison and hoping that the other person will die."
I'm trying to try and work on this area of my life without much success.
Yesterday I had a resentment against JS Sainsbury because their bramble jelly is nowhere near as good as my mum's blackberry jam. It was a mockery
grrrr

Bought Jam ain't as good as homemade, but there's not a chutney you can buy that even comes near the quality of homemade. And chutney has a larger knock on effect. Bad jam ruins toast, but substandard chutney affects chesse sandwiches, pork pies, cold meat salads, even curry.
It was like a whole slice of my life went from colour to black and white when I finished the last of the homemade chutney.

I heard that too Jude, it was on 'thought for the day' on wogan's radio 2 breakfast show.
You see? I may be a total athiest (aethiest?) but I can still appreciate the wisdom of good preaching, I just bleep out all the god nonsense. The trigger is the sentence.. "and that reminds me of jesus in a way" at which point I just flatline until it's over.

My grandma made grape jelly and blackberry jam every year. It was wonderful, but I can't really say it was much better than the store brands. Still, I preferred it, mostly because I liked my grandma. She lived nextdoor and used the grapes and berries she grew herself.

I recently finished the mango chutney that my friend Amelia and I made before Christmas. My cheese sandwiches will not be the same until I make some more. Late night trips to the fridge with a spoon will not be the same either...
