Diets

The idea of dieting for some has always been hard, but in some ways it's not so bad.

You don't have to worry about what to cook for each meal. Usually, the diet tells you or you can only chose from a select number of items.

But the other reason for dieting is for better health. If you go from eating few to none vegetables to consuming three to five a day, you are getting more nutrients and living a better lifestyle.

The biggest challenge I believe is watching tv. The commercials of food are a killer.

Here's hoping I can stick to it.

Celebrating the Spring Equinox

"Just as the dawn is the time of new light, so the vernal equinox is the time of new life."

A number of years ago, I had a teacher suggest that each equinox is a special time to meditate on the future. To plan and visualize the things you want to accomplish or to see happen in the future.

I find this very intriguing and even found a sight where it gives the history of the season. If you're interested. Check it out.

Now, I need to decide what seed or idea I want to plant or develop today so it can bloom tomorrow.

Happy Spring,

Tina

Looking forward to hitting the Trail

Summer is just around the bend.

With warmer weather, we'll all be able to get out and enjoy the locate sights.

Special Treats

The little surprises we receive unexpectantly are sometimes the best we can ask for.

Someone doing the dishes without you asking, taking out the garage without a reminder, or some one you love showing up for spring break when you least expect them.

I am so grateful for my wonderful family.

Warts and all, they are the best.
