168. Flowers at home

Flowers from Russo's to brighten my apartment.

Happy 2009, everyone. I hope you can find the beauty every day of the new year.

167. Chickadee

While I was waiting for a store to open this cute little chickadee landed on the car just in front of mine. He is just so plump and cute, it made me smile.

166. Preparedness.

This semester has been tough on me in regards to finding time to precook my meals. Today I had the day off, and ended my semester so I was able to prepare my meals for work. Its a nice feeling to have my meals ready to go, to make sure I am able to eat healthy meals. These lovely vegetables were bought from Russo's in Watertown, MA.




Two servings of soup (carrots, potato, turnip, onion in chicken broth), Two servings of carrots, broccoli and potato, one serving of purple potato and smushed sweet potato, two servings of spaghetti squash with sauted green peppers, crimini mushrooms, onions and eggplant.

Carrots, broccoli and potato.

It is quite a blessing when my biggest concern is fitting things into the fridge.

165. Talking about it

By no means am I thankful for AIDS/HIV. I am thankful that we can start these discussions, talk about prevention, support and treatment.

I am thankful that I can hope, someday, December 1st will only be the day Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up her bus seat.
