Day 11~Triad Challenge

Welcome to something daring
Mind: Enjoying puzzles, learning a new skill, challenging thought processes are good for the brain. Get dressed in a different order. except make sure the underpants are still under the pants. 
Body: Trade one soda for a water and eat 3 servings of green vegetables today. USDA states that a vegetable serving is 1/2 cup.  
Spirit: Today is Veterans Day. The day set aside to say a special thank you to the men and women who choose to protect your right to choose. This became very real and personal when visiting Arlington National Cemetery. A truly humbling and moving experience. A place every person should visit. Please take time today and everyday to express your gratitude. There are a lot of ways to express gratitude with helping support our currently serving, those who have served and honoring those who gave everything for your right to choose. Contact you local Veterans Admin Office see how you can help. 
I am including a picture of my favorite Veteran. This is my Dad. Thomas Stewart Edwards He served in the Navy, he keeps his service stories under wraps unless his grandson TJ asks questions. Hoping for lots of questions tonight around the fire pit. A beloved activity of Stew and TJ.

Day 9 ~ Triad Challenge

Welcome to something daring:
Mind: Are you by lingual? nope me either but there are great fee apps and amazing software to help you learn.
Body: this day add more water, drink less soda or coffee. Find an app on your smart phone that will help you track your ounces.
Spirit: Be of service to others. Make a donation to the food bank, help serve a meal at a shelter, find a family that is struggling and put a bag of grocery on the door step. Neighbors yard full of leaves, go rake it up. If you are not able to physical activities then write Christmas card for our service people.
This week we will look for ways to stretch us and move out side the comfort zone. This is about new experiences.
Blessings
