Recently, I was reading a blog about passions in life....what are you passionate about? It started me thinking, and I realized that my passion in life is really all about healthy living.............body, mind and spirit.
Healthy Body--I love to eat healthy, and make healthy meals. Notice I say "I love to", not "I always do". I really do attempt the healthy eating. We do lots of veggies and fruits around here, but I can't say I'll ever resort to the Tofu and Hummus type of eating. Making a point of exercising is also part of this passion........I think about exercising more than I do it, but it's still a passion. Turning off the tv and computers on my kids and telling them to go outside is part of this whole passion. They know enough to try and sit in front of the tube all day...mama's here...and I won't let them.
Healthy Mind--Reading, writing, thinking...I do lots of this, and I expect my kids too, as well. We're struggling with the thinking part, though (why do I have to tell them to clean up after themselves ten times a day?) I do require a lot of my kids in the area of reading, but they've all come to love reading, so I guess it doesn't hurt them.
Healthy Spirit--This is a huge passion.....loving God, loving His word, and allowing the peace of God to calm my spirit. Prayer is such a huge part of having a healthy spirit, and it's something that I pass along to my family. I've often heard the female in the house sets the tone for her family, whether good or bad. I can always tell the days I haven't made a connection with my Lord, or allowed Him in. Those aren't my most shining days.
What are you passionate about? How do you stay healthy?

I really don't know what happened to me... I'm not the size I used to be, and I try to eat healthy. It doesn't always happen that way, though.
