tomorrow will be not only one of the most historic days in politics, but in my life too. three years ago i got the phone call that changed my life in many, many ways. i think back to that friday night, and somehow it doesn't seem real still. how my life took a drastic turn, a train derailed. but i am thankful and grateful of all that i have been through because I have learned SO much. I never would have known who I am or known all my new friends, reconnected with family, gotten a new job. That day has led me down this new path for a reason.
i have been so busy since i moved that i haven't felt like writing all this time. things are going really well though, i'm settling in to my new place nicely and finally feel at home. its weird how long its been since i felt that way...
i gave up on going gluten free for now, but i have cut down a lot. a trader joe's opened up on rte 1 which has been awesome, and i do most of my shopping there now. i have so far successfully been a veggie girl for three whole months now! im trying new recepies, and while i don't feel all that different yet physically, mentally i know that i am hurting animals less. i would eventually like to go vegan so that i don't depend on any animal products, but its hard to give up cheese! the rest is easier...yogurt, milk and ice cream have all been replaced by soy products. i'm eating a lot more lentils, veggies, and make sure that i add fruit to my many bowls of cereal. :) i have bought some veggie broth to try to make some soup soon, although a small part of me will miss homemade chicken soup this winter!
but i see it this way - if i wouldn't eat my cat, i'm not going to eat any other animal either. what makes it different? packaging. can you imagine kitty nuggets? doggie chops? hamster salad sandwiches? me neither. so no more meat for me. ew.
