Antipasto

Antipasto refers to that which comes before the main dish in Italian circles.  You might have antipasto salad or noodles.  Well, I think of anti-days, as in spiritual programs of growth and recovery.  What I do today will connect with how tomorrow goes.  If I pray, am selfless, talk to people on the path of such growth, get out of my own way, then tomorrow has a good chance of starting out well and going well if I can string along regular days of doing the same things, the spiritual food needed on a daily basis.  Today’s main dish becomes the antipasto for tomorrow.  I starve myself when I eat nothing of this spiritual food.
