My emotions are doing a bit of that rollercoaster thing. Every time I cough, I now know the cough is not going away. Sometimes when I cough, I panic not knowing where it´s going to take me. But because of yoga, I have learned to center myself, so I pause, take a deep breath, if possible, and evaluate my options. Often just pausing and taking a deep breath helps. Or, I use one of my medicines. I have been dancing and singing around my apartment, not just for the fun of it but also because it´s good for my health. So, I had a good day today. I wanted to celebrate. I think celebrating minor victories is important.
But, what did I choose to celebrate with, soda and potato chips. While I eat healthy, can´t seem to find that “something” that bubbles, tastes good or crunches and makes you think you got a treat, that´s healthy. I can´t cook but I try. I´ve made bubbly beverages and sometimes a fruit spritzer or mocktail hits the spot. I have made desserts and snacks, but, I can not compete with those store bought chocolate cakes for a treat :-)

Ice cream or a smoothie is my reward. I love the peach smoothie from Chick-fil-a when they are in season.

When I'm feeling well on the same as you I eat chips and soda. Now I've made this new cocktail up which is Mountain Dew a little bit of that, orange juice and then I fill my ice trays would punch and I put the ice in my drink and boy is it refreshing. Those are my big treats sometimes cookies oh I love chocolate chip cookies.

. This is a very good question..... re: What's one reward during a good day?
For me, I go into "stop and smell the roses" mode. Or as some folks might say, "enjoy the moment"! This could be sitting on my cottage's rear deck over looking its little bay, looking at the nice flowers my wife planted or just sitting in a quit room listening to my favorite music. I do these things because it re-charges my inner batteries (mind and soul) and helps me mentally brace for the next round of health problems. Like my chronic back pain - that is starting to flare up again. Ouch! Like Gee Whiz, I hate living with pain. But... That's a topic for a different post....

Spike, Make sure you go look at all the problems in the area where we talked about what ever you want to talk about, maybe you can share too? Or maybe you dont want to share? That's cool too. I think its in talk about anything you want and AnnaMartes started it, pretty good topic! But when I was done looking at all my sicknesses I have it made me sick, all my ailments.. gosh, its really nerve racking, now Diverticulitis is added to that darn list omg! I cant look at my ailments, It makes me sick .
