Love Enjoy and Celebrate Things Rarely Go as Planned
Things rarely go as planned, love, enjoy and celebrate while you can. I just sent off my husband and mother in law 4 hours away to go to the memorial service for my sister in law, who recently died of breast cancer. My father in law and I are unable to attend as he fell ill with the flu and had to be admitted to the hospital on Friday night. So I stayed home to make sure things continue to go well for him. It is an emotional weekend. I was able to pack a mostly raw vegan road trip care package for them. I sent breakfast for my MIL, oatmeal with flax, apples, raisins, cinnamon, and a bit of coconut oil and pink salt, sweetened with fresh apple juice. A thermos of 1/2 caff coffee with wintry spices added to the brew and almond milk for the cooler with stevia to sweeten, A full 64oz pitcher of green fruit smoothie with chia, flax and maca. Some bananas, clementines, and kind bars and bottles of water. It is a joy and celebration for me to nourish them on their journey as they go to celebrate her life. She was vibrant and energetic with very little pain all the way up until her last few hours of life. I would have expected nothing less from her. She never stopped; always tirelessly taking care of our nephews and nieces and my husband's brother. Volunteering in her community and taking care of her self with mostly raw food and exercise. She fought nobly and left behind a legacy for her children. I wish she was still here and I could visit with her. Some of us no matter how hard we fight we lose the battle too young. Have hugs and visits with your loved ones, make eye contact and say kind words to people around you and celebrate and cherish each breath. Fuel and nourish your body with lovely whole food and exercise. Become awake and aware of your surroundings, take in nature and take quiet time to contemplate and be grateful for life! Even if you live to be 100 life is still too short and goes by too quickly! xoxo <3
