Turning Over a New Leaf

  New Year's resolutions are hard to keep and to be honest, I rarely stick with  one of them long enough for it to become a habit or life style change.   But every year I try again, because to stop trying is to stop growing.  

  I am coming to grips with the very real fact that if I don't start taking better care  of my health and my body, it's not going to take care of me.   Getting older can be such a pain ~ literally. ~ So I planned out a two-week menu of healthy meals and headed to the grocery store.  As I was putting the food away, I realized how beautiful the textures and colors are and couldn't help but snap a few pictures.  

  My body will probably go into shock eating all these beautiful fruits and vegetables, but eventually it will repay my efforts with more energy.  ~ We take our health for granted until we don't have it anymore. Once again I'm trying to turn over a new leaf with lots of leafy vegetables, fruit, water, and exercise.  So up on the menu for lunch today is a wonderful kale salad with pomegranate seeds, avocado, and hard-boiled eggs.

  Even my chickens get fed fresh kale and cabbage every week.     It's pitiful that I feed them healthier than I feed myself.  Is anyone else trying to improve their eating habits this year? ~  I just wish it wasn't so expensive to eat healthy.
