Happy Day.

As another layer of joint compound dries in the basement, the clickity-clack of train wheels rumble past the house, and country music fades in and out, today is a good day. A great day.

After a successful Double Daze at Rainbow (yes, this really is my life I tell you) I put the groceries away one by one and continue my health kick. Preface: I have been sick for a week now. I pride myself on not getting sick. This has to be fixed and basically never happen again. Hence, the health kick.

The multi-vitamin has been bought to add to my daily flaxseed oil regime. Spinach was added to my very first green smoothie. Blended with honey, cinnamon, peanut butter, banana, and almond milk. Tell me this does not sound good. I was leery, vegetables in smoothies? Try it. Any combination you'd like. This was much more fun to consume then a whole bowl of spinach. Because I kid you not I tossed in a HUGE handful of spinach and arugula. Salad-bowl worthy.

Vitamin C in the natural form of oranges have been bought. To be had with breakfast each morning. Vitamin C helps absorb iron more efficiently. To which my most recent cereal, Nutty Nuggets from Cub, was bought solely for the iron content, not the hard, crunchy, cardboard-esque quality, although that sounds appealing, I know. Not to say I have an iron deficiency, but Web MD can sure freak a person out, or kick start one to get all their vitamins and minerals. Hence, the health kick.

Extra tea and honey has been a constant brew for this very long sickness week. Switching my usual green for black and white tea's has brought new senses to my taste buds, and the decision of which to have brings me much happiness. Choices! There are so many! Next: to buy darker honey from the Apple Orchard, which has even more antioxidants than the golden honey I have been accustomed to.

Finishing my snack of a green smoothie and sunflower seeds, I feel great. Today is a happy day. I look out the window and the leaves are rustling. Golden leaves flutter from the branches, squirrels run about the yard, and birds come and go from our feeders. Life is good. No, make that life is great. This health kick is exactly what I needed.


Delicious-ness in a pretty little glass.
