Beans are the most undervalued food in the supermarket. They are inexpensive, easy to store, rich in protein and fiber, and taste so good. Add some to your soup tonight.
I’ll put beans in my slow cooker in the morning along with onions, peppers, a bit of garlic, rosemary, basil, diced tomatoes, and low sodium chicken broth. By noon, the fragrance fills the house. By dinner time, it is a healthy and tasty meal.
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
“Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you’ve got to say, and say it hot.” ~ D. H. Lawrence
It’s a new day. Fear won’t stop me. I’ll start out knowing I can handle whatever comes my way.
A Time to Talk
Robert Frost
When a friend calls to me from the road And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don't stand still and look around On all the hills I haven't hoed, And shout from where I am, What is it? No, not as there is a time to talk. I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground, Blade-end up and five feet tall, And plod: I go up to the stone wall For a friendly visit.
“Never lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever.”
~ Roy T. Bennett
Dana: Brenda, what do you call a sad strawberry?
Brenda, “Gee, I don’t know, what?”
Dana: “A blueberry.”
