What's your drink of choice?

Maybe you need to rethink it.

Day 3- Something you wore today... and who needs a footlong?

 

Today and everyday that my students have any sort of standardized test, I wear my painted saint medal.  This happens to be the patron saint of students.  I am a firm believer that prayer is an essential part of being a healthy/well person.  There are several times I will hold my necklace and pray for my students, especially those who struggle with these types of tests.  My dear friend Taryn gave me this and I cherish it (and her).

Guess what nugget of greatness I learned today!  Whole Foods offers one serving each of five healthy meals on Thursdays, for $5!!!!!  Footlong, Schmootlong-this is real, non-processed nourishment! I had red quinoa salad with edemame and pinto beans, a southwestern chicken dish, a whole grain cold salad with cucumbers, a cabbage salad (not my fav), and something else.  My point is, for five bucks I got an amazing HEALTHY, organic meal that was yummy!  It weighed over a pound, and I only ate about half (minus the cabbage salad).  So, for five smackeroos I had dinner and lunch for tomorrow!  That's a find.  The wonderful woman serving the dishes said that they just recently began this and she's not sure how long they'll continue.  It depends on the demand.  Seriously, go demand some because it was outstanding.  I plan to go back next week!  Maybe I'll see you there!

Day 2- skyline

 

This is a pic snapped on the patio of our room in Mexico from our trip in February.  Perfection...

The sky's the limit!  

Day 1- peace

 

So, I am doing the photo of the day challenge and day one is PEACE.  I am never more at peace than when I am relaxing on the beach.  The sound of the waves crashing, the sand between my toes and the warm sun on my face bring me a grand sense of peace.

My other challenge with this (for myself) is to connect the pictures and their themes with my journey into wellness.  So, peace is a really appropriate word!  When I was last on this beach (last month) I had just begun my walk with wellness!  I needed this peaceful place to help me visualize my goals, and to help me begin to see that my choices are what define me.  Everyday I need to make peace with the choices I make.  I need to make choices that I can be proud of.  I am.  It shows.  I have peace.
