Yes, it's just a few nights before Christmas. Today, Tuesday, is generally the busiest day of my week. Blessedly, the weather outside is frightful and I'm happily stuck at home for the day. This gives me plenty of time to wrap gifts, whip up a batch of sauerkraut, and read while snuggled deep in my favorite afghan. A big thank you to the god of snow and blizzards for this marvelous gift of free time.
Been also musing on the gifts that I can give to myself. One of my present priorities is the gift of good self-care. A great resource of information on self-care is the Mayo Clinic website, which reminded me that a person needs between 7 and 13 servings of fruits and vegetables each and every day. My fruit smoothie in the morning, which contains a grapefruit, orange, strawberries, cranberries, ground flax seeds, and chia seeds gets me off to a good start. I am fortunate to have a Vita-Mix which turns peeled grapefruit and oranges into a drink, gifting my body with all of their precious fiber. I get so excited by these tasty little drinks I'm able to whip up that I'm almost ready to grab my Vita-Mix and join a side show as a hawker.
I'm also gifted with friends and family that make the holidays a time of happiness instead of a time of dreaded obligations. I hope you are gifted by such good people as well. I hope you also gift yourself with good things, whatever those might be for you.
Happy Holidays!
