Food is a wonderful gift
Recently my partner and I received this beautiful, home made rye bread (rågbröd in Swedish, rugbrød in Danish) as a gift from his mother. I usually tell my fellow humans that I do not want any objects. I have enough and certainly don't need more. Even the clothing items that I received for my birthday I gave away so someone else can benefit from them. Bread is such a wonderful gift though. When I was growing up, food was not considered a gift. It is only when I began to practise minimalism, I realised that it is and is even better than objects. And it does not have to be anything different from what I usually consume. My partner and I buy similar bread in bakeries very often. We use it to make smørrebrød and also eat it with jam or honey. My partner's mother usually bakes many loaves of rye bread at once and then freezes them.
