In February 2013 my wife went to a gathering at a friend’s house to learn what I thought was about how to make healthy meals. We both like to cook so we went. This day started my journey of what I put in my body. I have not eaten at McDonalds or much fast food since that day. We committed to start eating whole food nutrition. My wife believed so much in it she signed up to work for the company, and I have been continuing to eat and take the whole food supplements and shakes daily. I have had a breakfast smoothie about 9 out of ten morning since. I would never go back to eating a biscuit daily again.

I now watch what I eat. I read about the food I eat. I have eaten a lot of Salads, raw fruits and Vegetables. In fact, we grow most of our own lettuce on our Tower Garden. I now love Brussel Sprouts, Cooked Carrots and Egg Plant, where I would not touch the stuff before. My favorite food is spaghetti squash. Hopeful to harvest a few today.

Now I know, when you give your body good food it will crave good food. Plant based whole food nutrition is the best diet for anyone. I have done the research for a little over 6 years. I have read a lot about what I am doing. I know I am on the right path. The greater number of plant-based phytonutrients you put in your body the better your health will be. I am not perfect! I cheat with pasta, rice and ice cream more than I probably should. But I eat very little red meat or pork but crave apples, cauliflower and spaghetti squash.

I now sleep great; I take no prescribed medicine even though diabetes and high blood pressure runs in my family. My skin is way better, gums, nails and hair are in excellent shape. You can learn more about it too, and I will put my research up with any other fad diet out there. Eating as much raw fruits and vegetables to your diet and being sure by taking Juice Plus, too. Juice Plus is the most researched nutritional whole food supplement in the world and if you add it to your diet it will assure you of daily whole food plant-based nutrition.

Yes, this is a plug for my wife’s product. But this is a plug 6 years after the fact. Juice plus cover the gap and enhances the days I do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables but cover the days I am slack. You can never have enough fruits and vegetables in your body. I have testimony from many of our customers and I usually just do my thing and let France share Juice Plus. But as I approach my golden years, I want everyone to be healthy so that is why I wrote this. Your body is a temple and you should only give the temple nothing but the best. I know these products have helped me ensure every day that I put the nutrients my body needs to be healthy.

It’s 10:55 p.m. and I can’t go to sleep. Why is it that I go to bed thinking that I am so sleepy and can’t go to sleep. I talk to my Lord and I feel at peace, but then as I close my eyes, my grandson continues to come to mind. He’s leaving for boot camp at Parris Island a week from today and I just can’t stop thinking about that little boy that he once was. I remember when he was just beginning to walk and would come to me and bite my leg. He had a little cousin that bit all the time and maybe he got that from her. Anyhow, I had learned from a teacher in 8^th grade that his donkey kept biting him and one day he bit him back, so the donkey never bit him again. I decided to try this on my grandson, well… I bit a little to hard and left marks on his arm! I felt so bad!!!! He cried, I cried and I thought that he would never have anything to do with me again after that. I explained to him that you just could not bite people, that it hurt. I asked him if it hurt when I bit him and he shook his head yes. Tears filled both his eyes and mine. I felt horrible. But you know what, he still loved me, he still ran to me when he saw me and he, I believe, respected me. He always wanted to come over and spend the night at Grandma’s. Now he’s 18 and the last thing he wants to do is spend the night at grandma’s. Oh how I wish those days were still here. Now he’s over a foot taller than I am and can pick me up like a sack of potatoes. We had family pictures made today which proves it!

His sister is 13 and they are so close. How often do you hear of an 18 year old taking his sister to the movies so he can spend time with her. She says that she’s not going to miss him, but her actions are totally the opposite. A few weeks ago he was trying to get in touch with her not knowing that she as at a friend’s house. When I picked her up she wanted to know what her brother wanted, she said that no one would tell her – that’s because he said not to tell her that he wanted to take her to a movie, he wanted to surprise her. Later on I discovered from my daughter that she was concerned that he was going to tell her that the Marine Sergeant had called to tell her brother that he was leaving earlier than anticipated. She was one relieved young lady!

Our grandson is a car lover! No joke! All he talks about is cars and trucks. He knows just about everything there is to know about them. I went with him once to a “car junkyard” to look for some parts for his car. That will not happen again. That was quite an experience for me – especially when you have to go to the bathroom! I told him that he better not ever tell anyone about that wonderful event! Well…maybe he’ll tell it at my eulogy when I pass from this world to the next. We’ve had some great laughs my grandson and I. The best picture of him smiling is when I was standing next to him and passed gas! He cracked totally up!!!! Hey, at least I got a smile from him. I love that boy. It’s so funny that when you get to be my age, it really doesn’t matter what I say – or write – It’s just the way it is. No need to make up things, no need to cover things up – it is life, REAL life!

I guess I’ll try and go get some sleep now. A couple of meetings tomorrow then hopefully a little house cleaning. You just gotta love it.

I hope someone enjoyed this. I’m thinking of writing a little blog each night. Are you interested? Let me know.
