Happy New Month!
I adore the first of each new month-- always seems like a great opportunity to set some goals, make new plans, check in with how far you have come along over the previous month. Maybe it's the teacher in me, but writing the new month in my diary or on the black board just floats my boat!
I love eating a big salad every day. My colleagues and my husband kinda laugh at me because every Sunday I make five salads for my lunches at school for the week-- and they don't vary very much. Spinach, yellow peppers, grape tomatoes, carrots, brocolis and chick peas or red kidney beans. I sometimes think I have a streak of the OCD-- if I can't make my salads, I get really blue. Making them on Monday would NOT be the same. The chopping, admiring the life force in each vegetable, dropping ingredients in the glad containers-- it's like a Sunday ritual-- a meditation-- an artistic creation that I crave as much as eating these things of beauty.
Every day, without fail, someone says "That looks so good...." and it is.
So here's my tip: try it. We all have been told that we should be eating our 5-10, and getting the rainbow of colours, and we all are busy people that don't have time to make a salad a day. We all also like a good poop each day, and we all answer "I'm fine-- but tired" when we are asked how we are. I can't suggest it enough-- make 5 salads for your lunches on a Sunday. You will feel good, energetic, cheerful. And you will only get your hands wet and cold once!
Give it a try and keep me posted on how you do. A salad a day is like a good chat with a good friend-- it just feels good.
On to my chopping board, this sunny Sunday afternoon. Happy March!
