When I started a raw, living food journey, little did I know I found "myself" in me. This raw, living food journey transformed me not only physically, but spiritually and mentally as well (I am about 95% raw, living. During the winter time, I do eat hot vegetable soup and cooked brown rice). If you ask my husband, Jim, (we have been together for 22 years), I used to see things half empty. I was a worry wart and thought of what "if" all the time. Now, I see things half full with positive outlook and attitude. Don't get me wrong; I have moments of doubts or feeling down, but it is very rare.
I find myself appreciate my present life so much more with gratitude. Tangible materials did not matter when I was dealing with painful health challenges. I learned that nothing matters more than my own health. When my health was taken away from me, I was not able to enjoy what mattered to me. I felt betrayed by my own body. At times, I imagined that I traded my current body for a painfree new one like the movies. Wishful thinking!!!!
I used to take things for granteed. I never appreciated life force energy, food. I just ate. I never gave any thoughts on how food got on my plate. Now, I have a great deal of appreciation towards to earth, soil, nature, water, air...... Everyday of my life is a gift.
I am very proud of who I am today. My goal in life is when I ask myself, "any regrets?, I want my answer to be "I have done well." I know I am walking and living on that path.
