I am now someone who spends $6 a pound for Organic Bell Peppers.

I went grocery shopping yesterday and walked away from the Organic Bell Peppers because they are more than $6 a pound.

Non-organic = $3.38.

Except that Bell Peppers are on the Dirty Dozen List.

And they travel from far far away (Mexico).

And they make my salad something I want to eat. 

Which makes me want to have salad for breakfast. 

Which makes me want to get up and be excited for my day. 

And then I spend my morning remembering that I am a person that I love being, and that I am thankful that I get to live this life. 

In turn, I'm patient and gentle with my kids and my King.

And my whole day is given my possibility and abundance.

I forgot all of those things this morning.

I could sit here and describe, in detail, the swirl that I created in my head (which ultimately leads to worrying about the ultimate demise of all of Humanity, a personal failure because I didn't do enough to save us all), or--I can simply course correct and move on. 

So here I am, at 2:00pm, starting my day over. 

I am now someone who spends $6 a pound for Organic Bell Peppers. 

Because I love Me, my Family, and those Farmers.

Love, Christine
