HARMONY
Last week, to celebrate spring, renewal, and my birthday, we purchased a juicer. The idea of having our own fresh juice appealed to us in this time of searching for ways to promote new healthy growth and harmony in our bodies. I keep my eyes and ears open to ways to optimize the remaining good health I have. And for ways to build on that health.
Other than some decrease in stamina and some shortness of breath that is more asthma than anything else, I have no obvious signs or symptoms of the battles being waged in the inside of me.
Fruit juice is heavenly tasting and I thoroughly enjoy a large glass of fresh juice, especially on a hot day. It really seems to quench my thirst better than anything else. But vegetable juice is another story. I have never liked it, having tried it many times in my life, always thinking, Its been a long time since the last foray into juice conciousness. Always, one small sip and I was done. Too, way too veggie dull broccoli tasting. And that was that.
So I plugged in my new juicer and did the oranges, apples, grapes, and a couple of small carrots as a bow to the veggies.
But I had promised my self I would do whatever it would take to improve my health. Because it was a promise to myself, I had to keep it.
I put a few handfulls of spinach leaves in the juicer, a large group of broccoli, some celery stalks, some carrots, and an apple for sweetness.The juice dripping out of the juicer spout was as green as green can be. I thought, oh yuck, why did I make that promise. Now I have to keep it. Darn!
The moment of reckoning had arrived. I dipped my spoon into the green liquid and thought about the wicked witches brews.Green dragons blood, with werewolf tears and bats eyes, and other creepy things floating around crossed my mind. I closed my eyes and took a sip. Hmmm.
I took another sip, and another and then dipped my cup into the bowl, and drank the green glop.
The creepy stuff was kinda good. Not as good as fruit juice, but OK.
What a pleasant surprise.The apple sweetened the juice so it was more palatable to my sugar jaded taste buds.
So I am geared up and healthy for my Reality Show date with the chemo brothers this week.
With Gods help, I will be the winner, the # 1 best contestant in the Reality show this week and every week.
Just call me 'Juicey.'
I am learning to accept Gods promise. He promises He will answer my prayers for a healed body

WOW, this is a great capture!!!
Well done!!
Have a nice SWF
I like your story about juicing. Why don't you go easy and add a bit of veggie to fruit juice and work up to it? Start with easy things like some carrot and celery, and then just add a bit of spinach or nice dark green lettuce. It's an acquired taste, you know. Go slow and you will love veg juice.
And thanks so much for your enthusiastic comment about that strange curvy building with the sky windows. I appreciate it, and you!
Thanks Sara,
I haven't been to NY for 5 years, but I am visualizing going there soon.
And thanks for the juice hints.I will follow your suggestions. I have a Japanese friend that told me to put a potato, 2 carrots and 2 apples in the juicer and then drink that juice every day. I don't get to it every day, but the days that I do I feel much better.
Stunning sky shot.
I'd love to do the juicing thing.

I appreciate you dropping by my blog and I am so pleased to hear your hubby is doing well with no seizures for 9 years! Fantastic!! I pray that I will one day find that spot as well! I hope your husband will continue to be seizure free for the rest of his life!!
