I'm grateful this platform exists to share my updates during my recovery! This week I walked more than 10,000 steps for the first time since I got long covid more than 2 years ago! And the shoulder doctor apt said I'm doing great in PT recovering from a frozen shoulder since January - no need to come back to him - keep doing the exercises since they are helping! Yay! It's nice to have an audience to share the positive stuff with when I don't have a boyfriend/husband in my life (yet - I'm looking!)! It's nice to have supportive listeners who are on my side, no matter what the issue/subject/topic is. That really helps keep me going.  Thanks for having this platform available!

I'm so thankful and grateful for the honest young woman with the sweetest smile who complimented my shoes.

Even though she was quite obviously unhoused and struggling with substances she chose to smile, be kind and make the world a more beautiful place for someone else.

It was incredibly humbling and gratifying to be the recipient of her grace.

I'm also so thankful and grateful for the smell of a delicious meal I managed to make for myself after so much overthinking about it...

Some organic olive oil and garlic on bread, then an organic local marinara sauce and parmesan on top, toasted, with a dried greens blend and nooch sprinkled on top.

The smell of it was worth all the suffering I had been through to create it.

@PetiteSouris

Also I'm so thankful and grateful for you. Without this post I'd probably never be able to reflect so well on the joyful things I experienced today.

Private journaling can feel too isolating, a blog too exposed and when it's just in the mind, can disappear and become lost in the shuffle so easily.

So thanks for this opportunity to connect with and clarify my positive thoughts and beliefs.

📢Shout Out📢 to the lady with the sweetest smile.

Sometimes, it is the littlest things which bring us gratitude. 

That recipe sounds too good! I caught my self salivating. I have questions if you dont mind sharing more on your recipe: What type of bread did you use? What is nooch? Since I will have to use a store brought marinara sauce, which one should I get? Or can I make my own? I have tons of basil in my garden.

@PetiteSouris

I used a whole wheat or brown bread that was donated to me through a community pantry program. By the way today is Thursday which is named after the planet Jupiter...and the colour often associated with Jupiter is yellow, so it's a great day to wear yellow and donate foods and sweets of the colour yellow.

So yes the marinara was from a store; I suggest something locally made to cut down on the pollution from travel time of food and organic or at least non-gmo so it's not taking more energy to digest than it gives back.

Oh, as an aside regarding nutrition, sprouting is great as it's a nutrient dense source of fresh food any time of year.. it's doesn't require a lot of space or effort and requires no soil at all unlike a garden at times.

But if you can make your own fresh toppings with the basil such as a pesto or a basil, tomato and cheese and even make your own bread that's the best!

Nooch is American slang for nutritional yeast...it is a health food that's used in such recipes as dressings, cheeses, sauces and dips and can be fortified with vitamin B.

Bruschetta means 'over coals'. Is it just me or does food taste better raw or cooked with fire?

@communicativePond1728

"Is it just me or does food taste better...cooked with fire?"

No, it's not just you. Countless people (mostly men) have understood this throughout the ages & know it well today. That's why grills exist. That is one reason why I own a hibachi grill. Live coals & cast iron put heat into the food like nothing else. I don't use it too often but when I do, whatever is cooked turns out fantastic. And quick, too!

@slowdecline48 it was a rhetorical question but okay. 

@communicativePond1728

Is nooch similar in taste to marmite? I dont like the taste of marmite.

This afternoon I met with the seller, his realtor, & my realtor showed up. We met at the title company & their rep was there. I signed the papers; he did the same; we both got copies.

The land is mine.

@slowdecline48

Woah! Thank you for sharing such exciting news with us! 

Congrats on your land! 

Continue expressing gratitude each and everyday!

♡

...every so often, I do remember who helped me get to this point.

@PetiteSouris Hi! Thank you for your post! In the past week, I went to met a bunch of good friends I thought I would never get a chance to meet them again in the whole life. I was definitely moved and grateful for all the effort being involved by my great friends!

@Hollytail
