Reflections from the Heart

Bashful © Cynthia Gallo, 2012

In retrospect I am a deep thinker. So much so, there are times I have trouble shutting down my mind. Especially at night. I have tried journaling but never seem to be consistent enough to keep it going. And while I never considered myself a poet, I have my moments when the Spirit brings forth the creativity within my soul, and the feelings and words meld together.

Reflections of the Heart was written in such a moment when my heart was feeling a bit heavy with nostaglia.

Reflections of the Heart

Ephemeral thoughts
of days gone by
of stories not told
of lives not shared.

All shapes and sizes
like people
not always what we have done,
but what we have failed to do.

Unspoken words
a missed card
of a special moment in time.

The failing to share a beautiful moment
or an anticipation
or endearment
or celebration.

Without taking the initiative
think of the possibilities
or the enrichment
of making the connection
missed.

Then the moment is gone
and we feel the void
of what could of
if we would of.

And while the hands of the clock
move not backward
let not the lamentations
stop the pendulum of our hearts
from moving forward.

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 ...
