Last year at this time I was so sad. My grandmother was in her final days and I didn't know how to handle it. Now, it's a year later and I know you all know how much I still think of her and miss her. But I know she wouldn't want me sad. She'd want me to be thankful for each day I'm given and to be thankful for how many of those days were spent with her. I always will wish it was more but I think that's how it always feels. No matter what, we still want more. Right now, I feel that way about the hubby. I am thankful his eye condition has given him almost 40 years of good sight but why couldn't it have been more? Why did it have to appear at all? I guess those aren't questions to know the answer too. It's more of the "be thankful for all that you have been given" variety. And I am.
This past week has been busy though! I am in week 3 of P90X and Tony Horton is kicking my butt!! I am struggling to work in my runs and keep that balance. I am fighting a chest cold at the moment and my last p90X workout and my run yesterday both were super-hard for me to finish. I kept pushing and managed it but paid for it last night when I just wanted to crash. This morning is a struggle because all I want to do is sleep!
Some of what I've been making....and I apologize in advance because I have not been keeping recipes like I should. More of a wing it type of week.

I also made my first Vegan Pumpkin Pie!! I was completely excited. Nobody wanted to share :( But that's okay, I loved it!! I just used silken tofu, spices, pumpkin and a little sugar and put it in a pie crust. It didn't make it to it's photo shoot but that's okay because it was tasty!! I will make that again.
I have a few new obsessions (besides mug cakes) to tell you about:
Cherry Chia Kombucha by Synergy - okay, so this is not really a new obsession but lately I can't get enough of this stuff! And now I find out they make a grape chia flavor. What? I must find this!
Kale in all forms. Not just cooked or sauteed. I want to eat it all of the time!
Zevia soda. Yes! A coke alternative when I've got a migraine. I love this find!
So, what's your holiday plans? Your new obsessions?
