Good Morning Greco

We will be heading to the farmers market soon, the weather is bearable today. Chard is *in season* and something I only see a couple weeks out of the year.

As you no doubt know, I am an extremely early riser (4:45 each day, my alarm kat became accumstomed to my prior occupation requiring me to start very early, and he likes every one up at this hour) I really do not mind. So I roasted my coffee beans for our deck ritual with the neighbors.
We were on the river with our kayaks as the sun rose. What a great way to start your day. I really need to get into the habit of carrying around my camera again. You'll love this. I took a thermos kayaking with us, and when we got to our spot where we *float* I whipped out the thermos. A. thought we were having coffee. I pulled out the frozen grapes...they were half frozen. Now guess who is loving the half frozen grapes

We were back home in plenty of time for coffee with the neighbors. They don't start getting up until 8:30 ish....

Another great video. I couldn't help but notice how the facilitator said her mom says over and over HOW SHE FEELS FANTASTIC. Having come from my death bed to a life full of life, and always looking for more information
on how to be 100% alive (look at Jack Lalane (sp) for example)....your signature line says it all. (very nice, by the way.)

I certainly will miss your informative posts and your deep thoughts. You may not know, that I secrectly stalk your music posts. I'm not exclusively a rock an roll lover. You can tell alot about a person, by their music. I think so, anyhow. As I love music, and I love art. Art has many forms. Music is a form of art.

Enjoy your Hiatus from the fast lane.....continue to take good care of yourself, your body will thank you for it. I find it very intriguing how you speak of mental clarity. You get yours while awake. I get mine, while asleep. That tells me clairity can come differently to any of us. I'm so grateful for peaceful sleep.

I'll look for your departing posts, Sounds like you are in a great place as you are heading home. I'm glad your work is done. Some people never get to say that.

Be well, I'll look forward to sharing smoothie blends when you return from hiatus!

YB,

Your morning sounds wonderful, on the water, thermos (frozen grapes) in hand...another set of early birds you three...alarm Kat, you, and yours...I'm glad to think of you guys up when I'm out running, or at the gym...

and the green, and rainbow chard is out and beautiful it gives the green smoothie a sweet taste delicious

this woman has some very informative videos on youtube I recommend folks check them out if they care to

YB, I won't embarrass you by saying how sweet you are, no I won't...just know that you are...One of the qualities I admire most about you is that you teach by example...you are a power of example for me and others about how to live well, live fully, and have a great time doing it...I will miss you but I know that you will continue all you do so well and look forward to re connecting when I return.

and you can secretly stalk my music all you want...tonight I'm posting several so enjoy...smiling Greco
