Happy Thursday

G'morning! Hope this Thursday is treating you well. It's actually super nice outside & I wish I could go out and play...but alas, I must sleep..so I can be nocturnal for one more night & then its my friday. Yay! I am looking forward to that!!! SO much..much more this week than ever. :) :) :)

Last night was equally busy & laid back, I delegated some of my responsibilities to someone else so I was just a regular nurse for once. I don't get a lot of nights like that. I somehow was able to keep a semi-positive feeling even when people tried to get in my way.
I started out my day with a 2 mile run... that seemed a lot harder than it should have been, and a divine strawberry,raspberry,banana protein shake--YUM! Had a much needed conversation with my love. And then on my way to work I decided to get a coffee & this sweet older gentlemen in front of me at starbucks bought my drink for me! Made me feel good...he had no idea that I was just starting my day & heading to work.

Just a little something I am trying to keep in mind these days...in a lot of ways it applies to so many corners of my life.

Perfect.Life.

Mmmhmm..

What the seed?

Has anyone else heard about Chia seeds lately? Its weird I've been hearing about them more and more lately in random situations. To be honest, I don't even know what they are or where they come from or what they are good for. Decided to do a little researching to figure it out.
Chia is grown commercially for its seed mostly grown in southern America and Australia. An ounce of seeds contain 4g Protein, 11g Fiber, and 9g Fat. They can be eaten dry, whole as a seed, soaked in fruit juice, or ground and put into baked goods. According to one site, Chia seeds are popular for weight loss. I assume because of the fiber, protein, fat content...they are probably filling and in conjunction with that reduce food cravings. They are also the richest plant source of Omega-3's. Interesting... I bet it would be a good addition to oatmeal!
