For Today: July 24, 2025
Looking out my window...
it's going to be a hot one in the 90's!
I am hoping...
to start producing sprouts again. Here is a picture from a number of months ago when we were big into growing them in the house. Dan turned this old bookcase into a growing station.
I am thinking...
about how much time I've wasted on my phone, YouTube,etc, hearing and learning about someone else's life from the people I follow on social media. I want to live my own life, and sometimes that means just sitting with my own thoughts. I've been spending lots of time outside (at work with Bev, at home or on the property) just sitting in the quiet. Realizing that I don't need other people's influence in what I think about. I've been keeping a notepad with me so that when I think of something to look up online, I just jot it down for later, so I don't run to the phone or computer right away as my habit was.
One of my favorite things...
is the sweet, peaceful time that I have with my grandkids while they are young. I am so blessed!
I am thankful...
that Dan is getting better and better all the time. He met with Dr. Spiegalman after his last CT scan. His blood levels look awesome, and he thinks the tumors in the colon are dead. He talked to Dan about meeting with the surgeon as a next step, so I think that'll be happening soon!
I am creating...
peace in my mind and heart by keeping my eyes on God and praying throughout the day.
I am listening to...
music on my drive to work lately. I played Rend Collective this morning, they are such a fun band! We saw them in concert and they were great!
I am wearing...
black shorts and a green shirt with white stripes.
I am reading...
Super Gut by William Davis, MD- the same author of Wheat Belly that I just finished listening to.
I am watching...
Fubar with Aronold Schwarzenegger on Netflix. Dan and I are enjoying it.
I am learning...
a lot about wheat products and what they do to our bodies. It's amazing that wheat is so prevalent in the american diet, and so many people have pain, weight gain, and inflammation and don't even realize that bread/crackers/muffins/pasta is a huge contributor.
In my kitchen...
I've been eating gluten free again. I did that a number of months ago with Dan and it wasn't that difficult, but it is easy to fall back into eating the breads again because it's everywhere! I need a plan, so I'm coming up with strategies to have other things to eat when tempted.
A quote....
A moment from this week
playing Rummykub with my parents!
