A tortoise and many robins (Happy Earth Day)
I have to say first off, it is COLD here. Forget about the actual number, the wind is so nasty! Ok. Dealing with this. These reporters from one of the news stations comes up to me the other day and asks me if it is going to storm. I thought he was nuts. So my remark was basicaly whatever, whatever, all will be good. Well the joints are feeling it today. Burrr! The sun shows it’s face and thank goodness for this.
So, we have been eating out a lot, not such bad choices actually, but back to the basics this week. And the poem works. Most of the time just letting the cravings and wanting pass really works. But I thought of something else that worked for me today when I was just wanting for a moment. Over the weekend I heard a story about how there will not be enough food for many countries and this got me thinking about my consumption. How can I eat in such excess when others have none or so little? Clearly my days food does not affect a child elsewhere, but it did change how I was thinking. Not guilt. Just a realization of what I need, what is good for me and what is just shear habit, poor habits.
So, I am thinking food combining is not so bad when I do it most of the time and still allow for some treat type foods. I am eating moderately and exercising moderately as well. I call myself a tortoise today (thank you Kama) and am darn proud of it. The scale went up and I could not see the meaning of it at all. My shape is wonderful with some tweaking to come, but I can not in good faith complain. Complaining is energy not well spent and no one should have to hear about how I have so few to lose and seem to not be able to get there. ALL IN GOOD TIME….. THE RIGHT TIME. My time. The moment is great.
Happy Earth Day everyone! I tell you, even the numerous pregnant robins outside in the trees look mighty confused as to what is happening with this weather. I think they should huddle up, but they seem content to remain on their own, shivering. Strange. Personally, I would go find some shelter. Well, this is where my mind is at this moment. Thoughtful about birds and Buddyslim. I hope those who are here are doing well and finding creative and healthy ways to enjoy their moments…. For those who are not here and are doing their thing as life does call us to do sometimes, I am thinking about you too.
I heard this on Oprah, but of course have heard it on blogs and in life before, if you want to experience goodness and want others to have goodness, give. Give without wanting. And maybe this Earth can someday experience more bliss then bullshit chaos (Montreal!…for instance). Focusing on the good right now 
Off to make a multiveggie salad and in a bit some halibut for us…..fresh pineapple for dessert.
This week I really work on feeling each moment instead of blindly walking through this life…..hehe
You said: “bullshit.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard such foul language from you!! LOL!! Heheheh!! I thought that was funny!! Ok…so about your blog….you know….you and I are very much alike in that we know what’s good and what works and oftentimes we find ourselves deviating from what we know is good….and we oftentimes feel guilt and we oftentimes, have peace…but it’s holding on to that peace and to that knowledge that gets troublesome sometimes. Still, I’m with you…today, I am proud, (THANK YOU KAMA) of being a Tortoise! I want to be a tortoise. Oh, how tempted I was (and still am) to go to the WL Dr., but a tortoise I am and darn proud of it. Plus, think, I’m in GOOD company—YOU!! I love you Jenn!
Jo, leave me with the news channel and I get all moody (story of the riots in Montreal…ridiculous!) but I am calm now…lol
Happy Earth Day! It’s warm and sunny here, come on over Jennifer. Although, if you were to watch Seattle’s channel, you would not be allowed to be close to children. After some time you would use only expletives about the weather here.
No complaining though. Complaining is like praying for bad things to happen and staying in a funk. LOL
Sorry I didn’t see this till today. You are welcome you all. I love the part about it being in your time, so awesome to be able to slow donw abit and let things happen as they should. Good job!
It was 84 here today….13 degrees above normal. I love the way your blogs are sounding. One day at a time and each day is so precious. Let’s not beat ourselves up and stew about every bite we eat. We are getting there and feeling so much better along the way… except I have no clothes to wear. I am buying a few things at a time and donating to the shelters. Recycle that clothing!! I am so far behind with my buddies. Shame on me. I am outside spinning all over the place….finding new places to go and sights to see. I was reading today that one of the big chain stores is rationing RICE…four lbs. per visit. The food shortage world-wide is such a serious thing. Let’s not waste a morsel. Cook and eat smaller amounts. Am I preaching to the choir? Much love to you, honey, Marge
