This Feeling About.......

As I trudged across the lake on my snowshoes, it kinda of hit me....this feeling about living for today and don't worry about tomorrow. We don't know what tomorrow will bring. That thought kept running through my head as I tried to get into the flow of breaking snow with my snowshoes and feeling the cool damp air against my face. All I wanted to do was concentrate on the present moment and not think about what tomorrow will bring. That's hard however, because our minds are wired for what lays ahead.....tomorrow....the future. Sometimes you just have to learn to shut down the thoughts and put everything on pause. Being outside today allowed me to do just that.

Hey, look who just happened to be out on the lake enjoying a little ice fishing! With a temperature around 20 degrees this afternoon, it felt like a heatwave....really.

Continued my cooking adventure tonight with the "Double Delicious" cookbook and experimented with a broccoli stir fry, accented with fresh orange and ginger. I decided to top off the stir fry with green onions and cashews. So what was the sneaky ingredient? I added pureed carrots to the citrus soy sauce.....excellent. Too bad the recipe didn't call for pineapple because that would have been an awesome combination. Cooked up red thai rice to serve with the stir fry. No worries, it was a low-fat meal!!!
