Blessed

I went to bed last night feeling completely blessed. I was overwhelmed by this great feeling of contentment. I really do live a blessed life full of great family, true friends and many daily blessings all around. It was a wonderful feeling and great way to end the day.

I've made a pact not to turn the TV on unless its to watch football. So far its been two weeks I believe. Instead I will cook with the radio on (you might catch a little jig or two in between.. and I don't mean jigger), then either sew in my sewing room or read until its time for bed. I think NOT having the TV on has allowed me to think a little more and definitely be more active in my own life. I've found great love in reading both fiction novels and my 'Green' books. I have to say a good book is much more entertaining than the reality junk on tv...

On another note, I made what I think is my favorite smoothie so far. Here's the recipie:

2 cups of spinach (packed)
1 cup of fresh pineapple
1 cup of mango
1 banana
1 cup of water

The mango really came through and the best part was that it was GREEN with a nice smoothy, creamy texture. Super yummy!

Oh good news too! Michelle's been making smoothies this past week! I brought over my blender this Saturday while in town and made some smoothies for her and Cate (I would've made some for Mark but he gave me the 'Kaya crinkle of the nose'--> so none for him!). She's been experimenting and having fun with it. So, Kate passed them on to me, I've passed them on to Michelle, not it's Michelle's turn to pay it forward! :) 

Last final note of the blog for today: Today makes my 2 year anniversary as a Business Analyst for the Target Account. This frees me up for a lot of new things! :)
