Reporting

I have been under the weather ... in more than one way the last weeks !

In the end of March a priest called me from far away , deep in the woods of Värmland , to inform me that my mothers 2nd husband had died , .....I have been waiting nearly 15 years to have some pieces from my mothers furnitures , they are handmade by her grandfather .....lovely to look at , but I did not want too take care of all the rest ... but by now I have been on 2 trips to try to bring some order in all this .... got myself stomach problems , and a deep chest cold .... havent been sick in 2 years , this is what stress and problems give you , as it lowers the the bodys guard !

So there has been tons of c-vitamines , curcuma and greens to bring me back on track again ... am after a month with all of this , at last now feeling much better ..

Thank god I believe that fitness is a way of life , and that simple life style changes goes a long way , and since I have been soo tired the last weeks it is easy to understand that without your health you have nothing , so there has also been a lot of sleep and big glasses of water !

But by putting one foot in front of the next you reach the finish line ...

Dear friends there will be no recipes this time .. since I have been living on porridge , bananas and yoghurt , sipping water infused with applecider vinegar , in order to get my gut health back ...lol ...

Ok I did one very nice hummus , when I felt that I could eat again !!

Cauliflower Hummus

1 medium baked cauliflower in florets

some garlic cloves

2 tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup tahini

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp water

cumin , salt & pepper and mix it all !

Enjoy !

My father should have been 90 years old today ... I miss him dearly as I do my brother every day ... like the greeks say " life gives and lifes takes "

this was my brothers favourite place in Athens ...

I have been listening to Soul Funk , while writing this very melancholic post , well one must express oneself in all ways ...

But remember to laugh , dance , hug , kiss ... happiness is a choice , so smile as often as possible .. whatever life throws at you ... we can make it , take that from a real birdie Phoenix !!
