Today was a day of waiting, while in New Jersey today for some doctors appointments for my hubby, I had some time to kill. I could have sat in my car listening to some news or comedy, but I chose to go to a local market that was close by. Just a mile from the center that I dropped my best buddy at, I figured I would have at the very least 2 hours to kill. I knew this area of Morristown, NJ, my mom was treated here for her ovarian cancer, some 20 odd years ago. But let's not go there, all I will say, was she had the best care possible at the time and she outlived her prognosis by 7 years. Kudos to NEW JERSEY DOCTORS, and Morristown Hospital.
Let's get on with my day. I went to a whole foods store that I knew would challenge me not to buy too much. As soon as I walked in with my one bag, I realized that was a mistake. So I immediately bought two more reusable bags and when to work reading labels. The organic produce enticed me, but I knew my own veggies back at the farm was more than I needed. So I went to the flower shop. Wow, just looking at those perfectly arranged bouquets had me HAPPY. I spent 15 minutes just smelling their beauty, enjoying the color, and thinking about next years growing season. I will grow all of these flowers in my own garden for sure, especially those lovely sunflowers that thrive on our farm.
Gosh,
it's amazing what #nature can produce, I was high on this stuff.
This center of beauty surrounded me, as I perused the other wonderful things that were there for the taking.
This is the first time in my life where I didn't have to count my pennies. I have made it to the other side. @thebigsweed and I worked hard all of our lives to provide for our children, never taking for ourselves. But now, the kids are OK. So now is our time to enjoy the simple pleasures of buying what we fancy like I did today.
Just one bite is enough for me.
What a day it was, I had to run out of the store because I got the call...time to pick up my better half. Things went perfectly, time to go home and enjoy life once more.
