“Gratitudes”
– September 2, 2013
I’m so
grateful for:
- Impromptu dance parties!
- Talking to my parents on the phone
- Vanilla hazelnut coffee
- Yoga pants
- Electricity
- Pausing to take a deep belly breath
- A breakfast that I really loved
(Rye bread,
roasted garlic, homemade baked beans, green onion)
- Seeing the first leaves start to turn red on my favourite nature trail
- How Jasper cat stays in bed with me until I get up
- Comments on my last blog post (thank you! xoxo)
- Remembering how good it feels to stretch
- Hair elastics
- Green juice (my favourite blend: cucumber, celery, kale, ciltantro, lemon, garlic, jalapeno)
- New blooms on my houseplants
- Really good hand cream
- The hawk that hangs out in our neighbourhood
- Laundry change
- Motown instrumentals
- That moment when you finally find the pen you’ve been looking for
- A new jar of tahini
- Coloured Post-it notes
- Kitchen tongs
- This bunny picture that I saw on facebook:
24. A comfortable couch
25. Thumb drives
- A clean kitchen
- This long weekend
- Corn on the cob
- Umeboshi plum
I really, I
mean REALLY, love umeboshi plum. When I was on a 30 day raw food retreat almost
two years ago I missed it so much that I had a friend drive me an hour away, to
another town, just so I could buy some. I feel really balanced when I include
it in my diet. It replaces lost minerals and has been known to cure a hangover.
Considered in macrobiotics to be the king of alkaline food, I like the
salty/sour taste that it adds to grains, sushi rolls and especially the late
summer gem that is corn on the cob. I’m a sucker for a salty/sweet combo and
ume paste on corn on the cob does just that for me in a healthy way. Give it a
shot!
