This week has had a Saturday morning vibe. I thought today that will change. It has, to an atmosphere of summer is ending instead of Juneteenth and Midsummer Night’s Eve.
Overcast skies with rain in the forecast help set that stage.
What plays on the mind with impish moods braided through the stream of my life? Is there a key to open the mystery? Probably. The hints I’ve been noticing are through links bloggers post to amazingly creative websites.
It is possible to be in a rut without knowing that’s where you are? Who wakes up everyday right off analyzing who they are? Not me.
In a recovering from a health issue flare up, my menu has changed. I no longer have a hot coffee, tea or other beverage in the morning. I no longer have milk. My dairy source is Greek yogurt. Gone are citrus, spicy and rich desserts. Cheese is no longer my go to snack.
Hmm? Could the fun Saturday morning cartoons vibe be due to my eating differently? Methinks yes. It could also be an emotional isostatic rebound thing after suffering through episodes of 8-10 pain levels. My spirit is embracing the absence of pain by giving me a Saturday morning vibe all week. I shall not complain about that. 😎
Have a painless weekend!

A coffee shake sounds delightful. It was overcast today as well, with a light rain in the morning. Yes, I can see the raindrops on your rocks, cool picture.
ReplyDeleteSheri,
DeleteThe lens setting slower, I think can capture the drop itself. How to
do that is something to learn. I just take multiple photos to choose from.

Being pre-diabetic for about 10 years now, I can relate to the dietary changes. Your photo is beautiful. We are getting rain 🌧 here in Montreal as well. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteA lovely weekend to you, Linda
DeleteRain here has stopped. I saw on the weather radar, y’all had lots of rain yesterday.
We had a flood warning last night.
Pre-diabetic here as well. Increasing my exercise is a big part of my weight loss plan. The food situation will sort out eventually.

I suspect as we age our ability to digest certain foods diminishes. Our likes and dislikes change too. Luckily, for me, coffee is still a like and my system doesn't balk at it. Hope that never changes!
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteYay for coffee!
Funny part, healthier food and then what? Cutting down on bread and crackers, where’s the humus going to go. There are only so many cucumber slices I can take. 🤣 Lettuce leaves as bread is good though.

8-10 on the pain scale is zero fun. I saw be mellow and enjoy, especially if those numbers are lower!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteIt was brutal to the point I was afraid of food. The treatment to have clear fluid diet, give my system a rest made me feel worse. Wait and see approach to an illness like that without antibiotics that in the past knocked it out in days, doesn't feel real to me.

As someone who in the past had to remove so much of what I ate, I can understand and relate to some of this. I will say now, on the other side things have improved and I wish the same for you. Here's to getting healed up.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ivy
DeleteIt helps to know other folks have a similar food journey.
The more I explore a new menu, the more I like it. It surprises me that my soft basic diet healing is high in protein. The lack of crunchy and greasy foods isn’t so bad. 🤣

Wonderful! Yes, and I find that there are foods that I've said goodbye to like chips/crisps that I don't miss at all. After time, my body no longer cares or wants it. Very nice. Headed back to catch up on your posts. Looks like I missed a lot and I see nanners in one ...
DeleteChanging what we eat for health may be a pain but it really dose work. I had to change our food when my husband lost his kidney to cancer and his remaining kidney is not good. After changing out diet his kidney improved. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you , Nicole
DeleteI notice a difference in energy level when I had salmon No more coated fish for me.

Our diet does have an impact on our health and sometimes changes are necessary to what we can choose to eat. I always think food diaries can be helpful in these situations.
ReplyDeleteTake care, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
