Banana Oatmeal Cookie- Raw Almond Cookie Dough Butterfly with a Split Banana filled with Buckwheat Crispies, Agave Drizzled Flax Seed and Hemp Milk.
Yum yum yum! Breakfast this morning put an instant smile on my face. You know when you feel so content and optimistic that it reflects on everything around you? That's exactly what happened this morning. Just one bowl of happiness and of course a few of my favorite flavors. Banana. Cinnamon. Chocolate. All present in this little "dessert" party! Two gals who are rocking the dessert week are Heather. Ice cream and oatmeal together? Sweet! And Tam with her pudding in a jar! Have you made a dessert for breakfast? Send me the link!
Wondering why all of a sudden happy as a clam? The truth is I can't say that being "happy" comes easily especially when my life isn't under the best circumstances. But I decided that December 31 09 was the last day I give in to my pessimistic nature. Why not find the positive in little things? No doubt it takes effort..I find myself more mentally exhausted come 8 pm..but I think it will be worth it in the long run. They say it takes a good solid thirty days to make a habit so I've decided every day to find at least something positive.

I think the best way to commit to that habit would be in blogging form so I am going to write up my journey to positivity each day at the end of my posts. That way I can be held accountable if I do succumb to be a negative Nelly! A side note, I am aware that I should not fake positivity if I'm having a bad day or such but what negativity I'm talking about is the constant complaining of life when there is no need. I have the best family, shelter, good health and an abundance of food; there is no need for the drama!
Anyways, if you remember earlier I said that my contentment has been oozing out on other things around me. Positivity breeds positivity. I'd be lying if I said that my jewelry and headband collection weren't receiving those happy vibes.
One beauty that is ready for auction...

A few of my favorite found treasures yet...
My long lost great grandmother's anniversary ring, jade "scarf" necklace (that I never take off) and an over sized rabbit ring. Also the most lux vintage jewelry platter I've ever laid eyes on from Florence, will be up for grabs this week.
And an delightful drink that has put the pep in my step....
Strawberry and Banana Kefir
The flavor of banana and strawberry always reminds me of being a child. Gummy Bears, chewies, jelly beans, what have you, seemed to forever contain these two fruits. Something about the combination always brings such humor along. So when I poured a glass I was dreaming of play set swings and Betty Spaghetti's :) Reality is the creamy banana flavor was delectable and I absolutely loved the richness of the yogurt. I still have to give it to the blueberry flavor but this could possibly be second in line. I am tempted to stop buying Greek yogurt just because I love how my body is responding to the Kefir. I've always had such a problem with dairy but somehow this drink really balances me out! Oh another reason to be positive...having a healthy happy body!
Before I go off on my way, my first positivity note of my journey to optimism.. January 05 2010- My muffin top is back and I am loving it. The humming birds always visit my window during afternoon tea, they are so delicately designed. Sometimes my creativity surprises me and I become in awe; there's nothing wrong with being proud of your own work. Do you have a pessimistic or optimistic nature? What positive thing can you glean from today?
PS: I decided to sell through Etsy once my Ebay auctions are up. Come check it out!
