What a beautiful day… though the water may still be chilly, the sun was warm & i took off on my SUP Board! (Stand Up Paddle Board)
There is something about heading out on the water with no motor. It’s quiet… not as quiet as the time i went in a hot air balloon, but definitely quiet. A good time to talk to your maker. No one in a pew next to you peeking… no one asking what you need or making judgments… just one on one. It’s also very relaxing. When you are out there in the middle of the water alone… no one can follow. Work, life, schedules… all sit at the shore as you paddle away. Standing on that board you have a deep look into the clear waters- It’s a whole other world- Sometimes it’s like peeking into space.
It’s also a lot of great exercise, though I never feel like it. I’m working core with balance, legs and definitely arms. That work out makes you hungry, but why spoil that great feeling with heavy food. I have a mother in law with more spinach growing than she can use and …it’s strawberry season.
Both Spinach & Strawberries are on the WORST list as far as chemicals… for this reason, i do my best to get organic. http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-eating/eat-safe/dirty-dozen-foods
Listen this is nothing hard… it’s a salad… a dressing and I even threw in a drink recipe. Then agian, good doesn’t always have to be hard.
