Starting a new week

So, I had a pretty good weekend! I did my cooking and attended a Samhain ritual on Saturday and yesterday I did church, a quick meeting and then home to relax and watch the NYC Marathon. It is nice having a balanced weekend with just right amount of rest and activity, especially after a week filled with personal Samhain celebrations and personal upset.

So, now begins another week. Back to the Zumba dancing and back to the a normal food routine.

I am noticing the leaves change color - I have a oak tree at work that I visit, near the rose garden. Her leaves are turning golden yellow. I rescued a November rose - the blossom was too heavy for the stem - now it sits on my desk.

It feels good to start with winter season - this season of letting go and going inward.

So, in talking to my therapist on Friday we talked about comfort foods and the reasons why they are comfort foods and why we need comfort foods - Here is an idea - maybe I can change to healthier comfort foods? I am have been giving some thought to what those food might be - yogurt is one that immediately comes to mind. If I can find healthier comfort foods then I leave all those sweet, rich, creamy, crunchy foods that are now my comfort foods to really special occasions.
