Fresh!

"To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." -- Buddha

The big-dogs from the office of the organization I work for came to visit the other day. Upon entering the principal's office, they told me that I looked “fresh”. I will gladly accept that compliment. Thank you very much! Fresh indeed! My lifestyle right now is likely the healthiest it has ever been. I’m eating real food rather than boxes of processed garbage loaded with sodium. Turns out, Earth provides a rather delectable selection of edible goods. I'm finding it’s really hard to go wrong with fresh fruits and vegetables. I sleep at least nine hours every night. I’m exercising regularly. I drink about three times more water every day than I have probably since my high school softball days. (My hair could use some attention, but that’s another issue.) This new healthy me is just as it should be. I'm feeling good. I like it.

This American girl won’t be in Ghana forever, and I want to continue writing when I return to the states. I’ve decided I’m going to start up another blog. The focus is going to be what makes me happy. I know that there is a “happiness project” blog out there, but that woman specifically researched ways to be happy and tested out some age-old theories. I’m just going to ramble about the little daily pieces of the puzzle that bring a bit of joy to my world. For me, this could be anything from books to quotes to teaching to people to places to sunshine. I imagine thousands of others in the universe are writing similar blogs, but in this day and age, it’s quite the challenge to come up with an original blog topic. Figure if I make it my own with some Amy flare, then it might stand a chance of being noticed. Not sure anyone will care to read my random babble, but I love writing, and I want to keep doing it. So even if it's just for myself, it's worth it.
