Here I Am

Ah me. Sometimes I'm so sad, as the waves carry me so far from any shore and I shake my head and say, "I thought that if I just flow with the currents, they would lead me to the right place. I thought that if I lift my paddle and let wiser rowers stern the canoe, we'd steer ourselves to just the right island". Seems I was just abandoning my post. Sad. Alone at sea, no shore in sight. Just drift now. Just drift and hope, drift and hope, drift and hope.

And sleep right, eat right, get strong again.

Creating My Perfect BodySoulMindHeart

We beginigin.
I will eat perfectly today,
mind this vessel
entrusted to my keeping.
Who is the "I",
who will mind this vessel?
My I-ness fills every corner,
yes, your I-ness,
we will keep you fit
so that you can do your work
in this world.

Tradition Starts Here

Remind me to tell you about a delightful wedding in the Biblical Landscape, among fig trees and pomegranate trees, and words from the Song of Songs.
Remind me to tell you of the similarities between our Canadian family and our Israel family, how we reinvent tradition, ancient murmurings revisited with a delight in today's new thought.
oatbran-flax-wild oats-fibre one cereal and 1% milk
cherry tomatoes, cottage cheese with fruit slices, corn on cob, tofu sticks.
Done til a lean Friday supper. Promise.
too much sashimi of salmon and tuna in a chirashi bowl with avocado and rice, all good but much. Then 1/4 corn cob at friends'. 2200 but healthy food at least.

For Beauty, For Energy, For Me





Self-indulgent, but a celebration of this body and this energy and this youthful 57 year old. This week I'll write what I eat: lean protein, and Israel's bounteous fruits and vegetables. Even at the wedding of Erez and Chani tonight (Erez is Shlomit and Dani Karmi's son, one of the twins named for the trees that thrive in their garden, planted at their birth. And Erez grew the flowers for tonight's wedding.
good coffee so far, 10:15 fibre 1 and 1% milk --(I will always report the cumulative calories of the day so far, very inaccurate and unresearched, but the reporting keeps me on track. The key is to satisfy all hunger, making good choices. To feel marvelous and vibrant at all times. To have the right energy for the joy of living. Right energy! Yes!
--700 now, after steaming miso soup with tofu cubes, and a pure salad of sunflower sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, cabbage and one perfect cherry tomato.
Good so far.
pear, apricot and grapefruit sweet wedding, ate right: 1 small slice beef, fish, salad, 2 apples 1800. Great day. Yay!
