Looking Ahead

Rate this Entry
DB leaves Monday, so today I started some sprouts. Thinking Ahead is one of the ways to succeed in the raw food lifestyle, and I like it that I can still think that way.

It's been a nice visit, but I am exhausted. I had an MRI yesterday on the knee. They think the meniscus is torn.

I shouldn't borrow the future, but I can't help thinking that a year from now, when I've been raw for a full year, I will

be filled with energy and vitality;
I will glow with health;
My eyes will shine;
I will be able to walk, run, jump, and dance freely with no pain;
I will be my perfect weight and will look amazing.

And so will all my raw friends.

    Dear Pilgrim, You don't need to borrow from the future. Dare to see yourself as all those things, NOW! Let the doctor look after the knee. Remember, I THINK, THEREFORE I AM!!!

    I've been regretting that last comment all day. I hope it didn't seem harsh. If so, I apologize! Except for your knee, I really think that you are all of those things already. :)

    No, Rawknitster, your comment was a good one. I do try to live in the present, but sometimes I have to think about the prize I'm aiming for. I value the opinions of all my raw friends. DB has decided to stay one more day, but soon I'll be able to concentrate on making the life I want. And on his next visit I will be strong.

    I just loved your vision of yourself in a year! Sorry to hear about your knee. It's a great idea to keep up blogging even when you have company. Looking forward to talking to you again, as I am back too. My friend left this morning after spending a full week here. I am already caught up with laundry and errands etc. Also feeling so positive about my future on raw food!:)
