I picked some basil this morning from my garden to get a little pesto going. A handful of basil, a splash of extra virgin olive oil, salt, a few cloves of garlic and process it all in the blender. Add a small palm full of chopped pinenuts and freshly shaven parmigiano and toss with your favorite cooked pasta or marinate your chicken in it. Easy, delicious and fresh.
It’s been quite a week. I have been going through a lot in my personal life so getting out in the garden, tending to my plants and pets then cooking is such a soothing process. My business is going well as I am now working smarter not harder and that is also therapy for me.
However, I refuse to let any negative situation get the best of me and I continue with my daily routines. I continue smiling. And I never forget we are walking through The Valley not suiting there waiting for life to change its self. We must always remain proactive to get the results in our lives we want! Never forget that!
How do you deal with stress or negativity?
I need a Pet! I think thats what's missing from my life... I use my punching bag right now to keep centered and Positive! Works most of the time...lol

Pets give one loads of entertainment and distraction. A dog would be nice :)

Love the photos and your positive attitude about life. I run to the right of the stress and negativity, meaning high strung. I’ve learned to get out and wander in nature and appreciate the smallest things. Driving also helps, I drive until I feel more centered. Taking care of my pets and the chickens seems to snap me out of a funk😉🐓

Stress and negativity? Why, I bundle it all up inside to let it fester and ferment and then unleash it on the unwitting at inopportune times.
That's healthy right?😁

I need to get a blender. We have herbs that aren’t being used because they grow so fast and I’ve been thinking about making pesto for my friends.
When I’m stressed I like to drive someplace alone and immediately do something that makes me happy.

I love driving to the library, I find such solace there. When it’s just just my son and I just use my nutribullet instead of my blender, so much easier to clean!

I like to walk on the beach when I am stressed. Nice being able to make our own pesto, isn't it. Better than jarred stuff.
