I promise this is healthy

I had fun last week linking up my post and reading others. I loved reading others posts. I was so excited to post again that I couldn't wait to hear what they wanted up to post about. Then as I laid in bed this morning a whole post came to my mind. I knew that I had to post this. Jessica it may not be about my 10 fave foods and at first it may not even seem a post about health. BUT PLEASE read all of it. If at the end you don't think it fits what you want I will understand if you delete me but I have to write what I feel.

Last week Jessica from the fit switch gave an instagram challenge around the lornejane way of living. It was Move Nourish and Believe each day. It was lots of fun. You can check out my photos from last week at my instagram here. I really enjoyed it. It made me look at my days differently than before and let me tell there were few days last week that were crazy!!! Then yesterday I was up getting ready for a busy day of meetings at the university. As I was getting myself and my family out the door I got a crazy text message saying my brother in law and 2 nephews had been hit by a drunk driver the night before and that one of my nephews was in ICU. WHATTTT!!!! Instantly I called my family to see what was going on.

The Story:
On Sunday evening my bro in law and his 11year old and 6 year old where driving on the interstate in a truck pulling a utility trailer. A woman who had been drinking plowed (literally) into the back of them. This caused my bro in laws truck to roll and her car as well. As they were rolling my 6year old nephew came out of his seat belt and somehow my brother in law and 11 year old nephew where able to hold on to him with all the commotion so he didn't fly out of the truck. My brother in law walked away with broken bones and pretty beat up. The 6 year old is totally and completely fine has a few bruises and is scared. The 11year old has some bruised lungs. He stayed one night in the ICU for observation but will be going home today. He did lose the tip of one finger

SO WHY IS THIS HEALTHY???

Lets put this all together now. I laid in bed thank the God I believe in for protecting my family and I couldn't help but think of the move, nourish, believe motto. So here goes:

Move:  Move everyday like it could be your last. Move everyday and be thankful for the healthy beautiful body you have been given no matter how it has come packaged. Move everyday to use the wonderful blessing of a body we all have been given. Move to help others on their way. Move to enjoy those you love most!!

Nourish:  Nourish your body with only those things that will up lift you body and make it better. Forget about those substances that will impair your movement and your judgments. Nourish you your soul and take time to be with those that you love most and nourish those relationships.  With social media now days even those that we love that are far away we can contact so easily each day.

Believe

I believe in Angels. They are always with us. How could an 11 year old who is in the midst of a car crash have the mind and the strength in him to grab his little brother and hold on to him. How could a grown man who is scared and afraid being tossed and beat up in a car have the strength himself to hold his son in the car. I believe they had help to keep them all safe. I believe that even if we don't see the angel and some days we wonder where they are that they are still there. I believe if we take a minute and look back on our lives we can see the many times angels have stepped in to help us and then there will probably always be those times that we never knew an angel had helped save us or protect us.

To sum it up: 
  1.  Move your body everyday and be thankful you have it.
  2.  Nourish your body with only those things that will uplift it       and make it better. Nourish those relationships that matter most.
  3. Believe in angels

These thing will help you continue to enjoy those healthy foods you enjoy and will only make you feel more fit and happy.

Thanks for reading today. I know I will enjoy reading yours.

Keep shifting gears. Corrine
