A new Fresh Blessing is on the way.  My daughter Kassi will bring a child into the world sometime in September.  This past couple of weeks I have been away from posting, getting things ready for Kassi & Paul to come visit us.  Hustling and bustling about, hoping to make her first trip to our home here in Louisiana something she’ll want to repeat again soon.  I made her favorite meals and we played board games until the wee hours of the mornings.  Of course, I couldn’t resist breaking Paul in with a great green smoothie.  He’s a good sport!

And yes, this announcement means that she’s making me a grandma!  Again!  Our first Grandbaby was born to our eldest son & his lovely wife this past year– that’s him at the top of the post, Griffen is now 9 months old!

I feel so refreshed from this time of fellowship.  I have a completely rejuvenated outlook on life.  What a fresh blessing.   I hadn’t realised that Fun & Recreation was lacking in my life!

Since they went home I have begun every morning with a master cleanse drink.   This has easily replaced my morning cuppa and is so much better for me!  It’s like a morning gift to myself…  I’m still having my one cup of coffee, but not until much later in the day and I’ve already switched to decaf with the intention of eliminating it totally within the next couple of weeks.  My adrenal glands will thank me.

When doing the rawfood diet, I tend to enjoy eating simply.  One of my favorite breakfasts is simply cut up apple with chopped pecans or brazil nuts, raisins and cinnamon.  I usually have a green smoothie or two per day and a couple of small snacks.   There are some of my favorite easy recipes here, and tons of great recipes over at my friend’s site, Rawmazing.

What gift will you give yourself this week?
