During dinner the other night Roland asked me what I thought about the way we eat now. I looked at our meal of steamed broccoli, green salad, and Garbonzo Delight and laughed.
"You mean, the fact that this is a normal meal now?" I asked.
"Yes." - Roland
"I think its great that this is normal. No cheese, no meat, no sugar, and we are happy and satisfied at the end of the meal. We don't even think about it anymore." - Me
"I think it is great too." - Roland
"We have changed our lives for the next 40+ years! Oh, the adventures we will have!" - Robin
Roland nodded his head because his mouth was full. :)
You can see why I haven't written a book. My dialogue is not very interesting.
Anyways - I realised this at the grocery store the other day when I had to leave the produce department for bag of brown sugar. How long had it been since I was in the baking isle? A long time. I realised that this lifestyle is normal now. We no longer think about it - well, okay, we do think about it and talk about it (and I even blog about it!) but only because we are so happy and pleased with ourselves for having tried it and we like to pat each other on the back and tell each other how great we are.
Its very satisfying.

Bravo!
hmmmm.I think about it all day long and spend a lot more time looking for creative plant based dishes that I can get excited about. After one year it's still not second nature & takes a lot of my time & energy, but the health benefits have been worth it. I'm going to a dinner at church tonight and will probably come home hungry.
Oh, how I love this, Robin. I am very happy for you that you find so much joy in this lifestyle. :)
