Nourishment

I have been noticing the past couple of days that I am feeling so good! I'm feeling like myself again! I've not lost much weight, but I feel healthier. Since my surgery in '07 it's been kind of a hard road and I've either been in pain or tired or both. Anyway, I'm just starting to feel like I can actually live my life in comfort. I think that there is a mental shift going on in my head. I tell myself almost daily that "I am healthy, I am happy, and I am successful." The power of thought is so strong. I am what I believe. I know that some of the health problems that I've had in the past were very, very real, but I am very, very ready to be healthy!!! I'm on my way! I'm on my way to being even healthier, happier and more successful. I loved what Jeff put on his blog about today being a gift. Each new day is just that "new". I get to decide what I'll do with that gift. There is no need for me be hard on myself for past mistakes, I can be who and what I want to be today! Thanks again for posting that, Jeff.
I have been really enjoying what I'm eating. I actually LIKE vegetables! Who would have thought? Not me! I've always been the one to take as few as possible--sometimes none. I am finding that they taste good to me now. Wow, that's really something!
I decided today (actually I think I decided a while ago) that I'm not in this for just a few months. I am in this for a long, long time. I love how I feel. I love feeling healthy and energetic. I feel like I can get so much done in my day because I am nourishing my body with the correct foods. I think that when I nourish my body correctly, I am also nourishing my spirit and my mind.
