CrystalJo74's Journal, 22 Mar 22

It's another Terrific 'Tool Time' Tuesday 👋🙋‍♀️

Hubby made whole wheat blueberry pancakes for breakfast...mmmmmmm!! I've got half a dozen blueberry bushes in my back yard and am coming to really appreciate their value 👏🤤

The mitochondria is an interesting component of our physical 'machine'. I learned a LOT about it (like it has it's own separate DNA) when my late husband was diagnosed with MELAS (Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes) and passed away in his 50's. The mitochondria are so important, yet most of us have never even HEARD of it!

Just a reminder that life is fleeting and we have a chance, each day, to MAKE IT COUNT - mind, body and spirit - let's give it all we've got today💙🤗💪🙏

Factories... I will be building them today! Thanks for positive message. I have tried to learn about mitochondria. Apparently those things burn fats and make ketosis happen and supposedly lead to less oxidative stress. I am not sure what that all means still so oh well... I am very sure that blueberry is my favorite berry. Have a nice Tuesday

@buenitabishop...hi my sweet friend 👋💙 Last year I let the backyard birds have all the blueberries, and I was greatly blessed to watch the variety of common and also rare birds that feasted. But this year will be different😉
