We have been teaching English here. The classes are pretty small - 2-4 people, but it is always a good time.
SMOOTHIES
When we went shopping this week, it was pretty obvious that we were two California kids. We bought the likes of tuna, olive oil, greek yogurt, protein milk, all topped off with a lot of fruit. I think we are both on the same page with diet. Both of us want to eat healthy. But even more than that, both of us want to get huge. Our diet of protein paired with exercise every morning is bound to bring some muscular gains.
Every morning we make smoothies out of oatmeal, bananas, yogurt, milk, and cinnamon. It is a game changer for everyone involved.
Mariposas
Today we went to the nearby mountains to see the Monarch butterflies. They stay here in the winter time, and fly back in March. We were lucky enough to see them before they all flew off to Canada. There were literally thousands of them. They were flying everywhere and also just resting all over the trees. They were so thick on the trees that it looked like leaves. Pretty crazy.
Deepest Quote Ever to Surface
2. Fruit that we bought for about $10. Got to love the deals here on fruit.
"If you live only for tomorrow, you'll end up with a lot of empty yesterdays today." This quote hit me deep. I often get preoccupied with the future, past, anything other than the present. One day, life will pass by and well be on our death beds devastated, realizing that life was and is only really made up of moments that we could never quite bring ourselves to enjoy. It is a skill that we can all develop further. But imagine a life where we have enjoyed every minute possible. Where we look back and just are overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude. Never forget the value of the moment you are in. Love the people around you in that moment. Do your best with what you have in that moment to be a good person. Do your best to find what is just awesome about that moment and let that dominate your thoughts. If we do that, I believe life will become a thing of beauty. One of the most beautiful gifts given to every person.
