A Morning Out

The spokes turned in rotation towards the destination,
All the while, the morning breeze brushing against my face.
Soon the highest point was in sight,
And with only a slight intrepid thought, the ascent began.

The view - breath taking,
A feeling of total euphoric exaltation.
Such a wondrous sense of oneness,
With nature,
With my Creator.

I come closer to the ground at my feet;
The clover and grass blades swaying as the
Breeze gently passes.
Splashes of yellow,
As dandelions smile amidst them.
My hands pass over them,
Awakening the receptors within.

I raise my hands to the heavens;
Palms up.
Outstretched arms.
Deep inhalations,
And long exhalations.
I feel the strength of the universe surround me
And invite its power in.

My arms butterfly to the ground.
And as I peek behind me,
The whole world is upside down.
Or is it?

And as I fall back onto the earth,
My back melts into the grass and we become one.

Friday - Day 21

Today is officially the last day of the Purification although there will be still supplements left that I will continue to take until they’re gone. I will also continue watching the problem foods like gluten and sugar (even though most of my sugar has been come from local honey, unsulfured blackstrap molasses and pure maple syrup). Do I think I failed because I added a couple of my important foods back this week? For me the answer is no, but I’ll go into it more on my closing blog tomorrow. Weighed in this morning. 157.6# That is approximately a 4.5# weight loss in 3-weeks. I’m OK with that. Smoothie: 2T SP Pro Complete, 2T SP Whey Pro Complete, 1 cup Califia coconut milk, 3T shredded unsweetened coconut, 1 banana. Breakfast: 1 soft boiled farm fresh egg (before starting the purification are used to have two a day). Cooked green string beans with Italian butter. Take green string beans. While we think of them as a vegetable, I guess they’re considered part of the legume family. I didn’...

Thursday - Day 13

Sometimes I wonder if we are the only ones who feel the craziness of the morning. Life would be simpler if we woke say 90 minutes before work, groomed, then grabbed a bowl of cereal and out the door. However, if we did that, I wouldn’t be writing a blog that I hope could be helpful to someone else someday. This week has been such a run-on sentence. I have to ask myself “do I feel better than I did before I started this 13 days ago?” Yes and No. I think I have more energy in the morning if I get a good night sleep, yet, once I have my morning walk before work (between 2 and 2.5 miles), I still often feel drained. Perhaps it is the sultry August mornings that are exhausting. I still have sinus issues that usually are seasonal, but the seasonal issue came back in the spring of 2020 and is still here.  So I kept it simple this morning, the best that I could do, maintained all the supplements, and for the morning smoothie I just threw in SP Complete, beets, carrots, cilantro, ginger and...

Thursday - Day 20

Such a lovely day with a good break from the normal work day. Hope to make this a really short posting this evening as it’s now 8:50 PM. Haha. Can’t speak in 100 words or less, what makes me think that I will be able to blog in 100 words or less. There is that old saying about being a slave to your home. In our case it is being a slave to the kitchen! There are days when it is just busy in a good way and decisions need to be made in order to let everything unfold smoothly. So this morning, after exercise, Standard  Process supplements and smoothie, it was time for breakfast. We actually had a little extra time as we did not need to make lunch. Bill‘s nephew was in town so we were going to take an extended lunch this afternoon and go out. Smoothie: 2T SP Pro Complete, 2T Whey Pro Complete, 1 cup Califia coconut milk, peach, 1T hemp hearts, fresh basil leaves. So I cooked up a couple of small sweet potatoes and steamed some green beans for breakfast added some Italian butter for the ...
