I feel terrific this morning!  I feel full of life and vitality.  I usually do when I'm eating only raw food, but today it feels magnified.

Last night when I popped a handful of goji berries into my mouth before dinner I realized that I haven't written much about them.  Only recently have I been eating goji berries with any regularity.  In fact, I've never even purchased a bag of them until recently.  They are really just something I have around, they aren't part of my meal planning.  You can tell from my blog they are just something that I eat a handful of now and then.  I eat them as I'm preparing my meals, there just sitting there on my kitchen counter. 

I don't believe in the concept of super foods.  For me, all of nature's sweet luscious fruits, seeds, nuts, tender greens, edible leaves and such are super foods.  They are all unique and have different qualities.  When we consume a variety of nature's bounty, our bodies receive an abundance of all nutrients needed for health and wellness.  The variety doesn't have to be all in one day or in one week.  Over the course of the seasons nature is always providing what we need.  That's how life works.

I believe that we're intended to eat what nature provides as nature provides it.  "Consider the ravens: they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.  And how much more valuable are you than birds.  Consider how the lillies grow.  They do not labor or spin.  If this is how God clothes the grass of the field,...how much more will he clothe you."   -from Luke 12.   Nature is always providing what we need, but we don't always recognize it.
