One Day

Sunshine on Sunday

Soon to be Monday

Look forward to some day

Focus on one day

The one I am in

Go ahead

Buy the watercolors

from Japan

Spend more

then before

I think you can

Someday you may not care

to draw or paint at all

Then you can refrain

while feeling virtuous

for being restrained

Ah, go ahead

Bereft of ideas or just bereft?

I’m not bereft

Because I’m not deprived

…feeling quite happy to be alive

Although if I weren’t alive

I never would know

and happiness and contentment

would have no place to go

But I digress…

At the moment I am in…all is well

What happens next…

You never can tell!

A Spoon from a Tree

So…….my husband made this spoon for me for Christmas. From a branch that was trimmed from our maple tree. The wood is called spalted maple. I don’t plan on using it to cook with since he used danish oil as a finish but it sure looks beautiful in my kitchen.

Veganistic Simplicity

  • Avocado, roasted red pepper, tomato, onion with a little vegenaise and mustard — simple. On a blue plate. Good.

Still True…

Update

Here I am a year later, still on the journey to a healthier me.   All the usual numbers have improved…blood pressure, cholesterol, enzymes and stuff like that.  I have lost 30 pounds in all, but I think five or ten more would be ideal.  It will happen as soon as it can.

I think it’s the bread that still might be the culprit….but I’m not sure about that.

Still eating things like this:

Breakfast:  Spinach, carrot, celery, strawberry, almond milk smoothie

Lunch:   Homemade minestrone soup with Italian bread

Dinner:  Green salad; veggies sauteed in Italian tomato sauce and quinoa

Snack:  Grapenuts

and peanuts.

An Occasion: Building a Smoothie

Fixing healthy meals can be, on many occasions,  therapeutic, and maybe even artistic, creative, and an exercise in being in the middle of something worth doing.  The colors involved are kind of amazing.
