Stop Counting and Just Do!

I am proud of myself, frankly, as I tend not to stick with any exercise or diet regime for more than a day or two.  I've gotten in at least 30 minutes of heart pumping work-out a day AND I went grocery shopping yesterday, spending more than an hour searching for foods which are organic/natural/healthy.  Why an hour?  Especially for only $53 worth of groceries?  

Healthy food is expensive.  Don't let anyone tell you it isn't.  Organic produce seemed to be at least $0.25-$0.50/lb. more expensive on average.  Newman's Own salad dressing compared to Kroger or Kraft?!  Ugh!  And all natural Boulder Ice Cream?  I know...  I don't NEED ice cream, technically, but if I don't have something sweet around, I end up eating more of something else...  or running to Safeway to grab Cadbury Eggs!

Alas, it is worth the added expense, I suppose, to clean the toxins from my brain.

What does any of this have to do with "business?"  As I said before, toxic in/toxic out.  I have far more creative energy when I'm
 feeding myself well and taking care of my body.  Vowing to exercise every time I'm in front of the television also keeps me from spending so much time being mindless.  I don't want to work out for hours and hours...   I'd rather be outside, doing something productive or inspiring.

I'm going to start planting herbs and a few veggies in Stacy's "garden."  I'm not sure we are out of frost danger yet...    but I have plenty of seeds left from Botswana and can start over if the need arises.  Gardening always lifts my soul!  Growing your own food connects you to your divine self!  Helping something green come from the dirt...   makes you feel closer to God.  It also makes for some pretty great photography!

What is more beautiful than tender sprouts pushing their way up into the sun, green tendrils of morning glories wrapping themselves around the fence, or flowers turning into cucumbers?

It's going to be in the mid-70's this weekend!  Perfect gardening weather!

I am also heading up to the mountains tomorrow to take some photos if the air is clear.  The snow seems to be vanishing already! Long's is nearly bald!  

I keep thinking that we will get at least one more big snow storm before the end of the season, but...  I'm not longer so sure.  We never really got a first "big one."
