feeling good

Today driving home from work I realized how much more energy I have

compared to last year. Last year I started teaching my second year

two 1/2 months after giving birth to our little boy.

I was getting up at night, I was nursing, and due to giving birth I didn't really have the

relaxing summer I probably needed after my first year of teaching!

Well, now things look different and much brighter. I am sleeping again

had a very relaxing, fun filled summer and am now teaching my third class.

I am glad to say things have changed. I am glad that I can be more myself again.

I felt so good today, after my realization, that it almost became a little celebration.

For dinner I whipped up a little Raita with fresh mint from our neighbors garden!

Because I am now following a strict gluten free diet (which I am still getting used too, no, it is not easy to live without fresh bread, I am from Germany after all! ;)) I made some blue berry muffins.

They tasted very yummy. Yes, "tasted" as most of them are already eaten. (Below is my little helper!)

Here it is to feeling good, regaining strength and keeping the long term goal in mind and to savoring the moment!
