Seasons

It is amazing how we do not notice change from season to season, yet we are all in a consant state of change. It is also suprising how many people fear the concept of change. Change is a good thing. It provides us with the opportunity to grow and to discover new and wonderful things.
From the time I started this blog, my life has changed dramatically. But these were gentle changes - changes that I did not notice until someone pointed them out. Many people have mentioned that I have lost wieght or are now extremely energtic. I did not notice until I took a look myself. I had to step back and assess the changes that I have made. Some of the changes were positive. My diet is much healthier then it ever has been. Before I eat something I try to think of the long term effects (even the short term effects). It is amazing how wheat effects a person's mood. When I eat just a little bit of wheat I feel dizzy and slightly dingy. This makes me think that what you eat really factors in how you body will go (it is like fueling a car with cheaper gas versus the premium gas- it makes your body run much smoother and cleaner).
I am still not 100% raw and do give in to not so healthy food once in a while, but now I am aware of some of the effects that food might do to me. It makes me think before putting something in my mouth.
