Detox - Days 6, 7 & 8

I decided to skip posting a few days figuring you didn't need a blow by blow account of what I'm eating.  Based on the previous detox postings you probably have a good idea of the regimen.  If I decide to introduce anything new such as a recipe (i.e. coconut pancakes or something) I'll let you know.  This week I've added in red seedless grapes and kiwi.  I know I probably didn't eat enough today, but I'm trying to do better. 

I'm posting this entry from a lounge chair in the Barnes and Noble bookstore.  My husband and I needed to be out of the house for a bit.

Even though there is music in the background and I can hear the music (Kanye) from the computer of sis sitting across from me, it's peaceful and relaxing sit here.  I feel calm.

Feeling sort of introspective today.  Over the weekend I heard a soloist sing "I Won't Complain" and the words of the song moved my spirit.  Today I found the lyrics on the Internet, printed them out and read over them.  I started crying (bawling - silently).  I was at work and my co-worker had just come in so my mouth was wide open with no sound coming out and tears were streaming down my face and I was bent over in my chair.  Yep - emotional.  

Here are just a few of the lyrics (by Paul Jones) from the song 


I've had some good days 
I've had some hills to climb
I've had some weary days
And some sleepless nights

But when I look around
And I think things over
All of my good days
Outweigh my bad days
I won't complain

Sometimes the clouds are low
I can hardly see the road
I ask a question, Lord
Lord, why so much pain?
But he knows what's best for me
Although my weary eyes
They can't see
So I'll just say thank you Lord
I won't complain

The Lord
Has been so good to me
He's been good to me
More than this old world or you could ever be
He's been so good
To me

He dried all of my tears away
Turned my midnights into day
So I'll just say thank you Lord

The Lord has been so good to me.  And I do say thank you and am grateful.  I have so many things that make me thankful.

When I get home I'm going to have either a green smoothie (with the spinach and kale) or some other type smoothie and add the hemp seeds.  Yum.

Peace be unto you....
