Jonny's First Ride
The whole day has been fantastic.
I worked a little, and that was very enjoyable. Then I swung by my favorite organic produce market and ran into my dearest friend, Kori. She was effervescent with inspiration about learning to eat living foods. There was an E3 Live representative there giving out samples, so we both had a shot. I was FLYING within about 10 minutes of that shot. I mean FLYING! When Kori and I parted ways, I was literally about to dial her number to say “Are you high, or what?”, when the cell rang and it was her. I answered and she declared, “I am SO HIGH!!!” That stuff is powerful. The rep said that it gives incredible focus and clarity. I’ll say. The energy was electric. It lasted about an hour, then I felt sleepy and somewhat groggy for a short time. I need to ask Kori if she felt that too. I felt like it triggered a little detox episode for me. Short lived and no big deal.
So, I rallied the fam and we went to the park by the river so our son could ride his brand spankin’ new bike (with training wheels). He’s so dang cute and determined. After 2 times falling, he learned to feel it in his body when he was about to topple and he’d jump off the bike as it was going down. He’d pick up the bike and say “I try again.” I love that about him and I kept telling him that. His perseverance is inspiring. How often do we give up when something is too challenging or when we get hurt?
Menu for the day:
- 1 peach
- 1 cup grapes
- raw crackers with hummus, cucumber slices, and tomatoes
- a couple of handfuls of raw almonds
- kale chips (not too many today)
- glass of almond mylk
- 2 of the iced cookies I made today (they taste just like macaroons)
- watermelon (this is what we had for dinner in the park as the aroma of barbecue wafted around our faces)
Gosh, I feel like I ate so much more than that today. I’ve been full and satisfied. The almonds do that for me.
Sweet dreams,
Shawna
