Changing Food and Life Phases

I sometimes think of my life in terms of food phases.  This painting is from the cookie phase.  During this phase I tried to have cookies available for my family.  There was a daily limit, which was more like an entitlement, of four cookies per day.  At the time I thought it was a reasonable amount to have for my family members and me--each have four.  Now that sounds extravagant.  I am not making cookies now.  I have entered a low sugar and low-to-no gluten phase.  These food phase changes reflect to me other phases in life that also change.  There have been health and job phases, and then the empty nest phase.  Soon I will be in the grandmother phase.
