Blog: Looking Past Rotten and Seeing Potential

I look past the rotten and into the beautiful creation of OMG - this is over the top fabulous and so good for me.

Now that is an opener for you. I have to say that I absolutely love rotten fruit. Well, not completely over the top rotten, but most definitely very over-ripe, brown tinged, fragrant sitting on my counter fruit. 

What do I see?  I see potential. I see that with some blending and mixing that I can create wonderful healthy foods.  I look past the rotten and into the beautiful creation of OMG - this is over the top fabulous (one of my fav words) and so good for me. 

Yes, I even maintain a positive attitude about rotten fruit. Do I toss it? No way! It has potential - potential to become something better than before. This can apply to who I am as a person as well. When I was injured, did I toss in the towel? Throw myself away? Give-up? No, no, and again no.

I saw potential with a little mixing and blending of different therapies and exercise, I did become better than I was.  So, yes. Do I go over the top about such things as rotten, over-ripe fruit? Well, yes. That is me.  I savor every small thing in life because they are truly the big things.

And tonight, the rotten overripe fruit is the big thing that I am going to create something very special with.  I also think - why throw away a perfect piece of rotten fruit? Oh my - what a waste of money and I am not about doing that.
