I don't like stores that are chaotic, and to get to the food area, I have to travel past everything else, and it stresses me out. I have heard that they have improved their selection of organic foods, so that's good. I'm glad I'm not the only one who shops at multiple places. :-)Yvette M Calleirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339847003855092078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454630140411211407.post-512483737071705932023-01-10T14:29:53.907-05:002023-01-10T14:29:53.907-05:00WOW!

I am a three store gal, only because there are things that I cannot find in one store but they might be in the others. I shop in Whole Foods for my body because I am also 90% on the organic spectrum of eating. I don't get my fruit from Whole Foods, though, as I don't like the way their fruit looks, but I wash my fruit with a solution before I eat them. Believe it or not, Walmart has a better selection of fruit. I do not buy meat out of Walmart anymore, by the way. I have learned their meat processes, and NO! But, pretty much everything else I get out of there as it is just easy.<br /><br />I am a food label reader - I should say that I am just a label reader, because I read all labels. I like to bring clean products into my home, as well.<br /><br />I don't like Aldi. I went in there ONE day and it was almost empty... the store. In their defense, they were fairly new, but still, it was kinda dark inside and I just wanted to get out of there. My husband says I should give them another try, but, no thanks, I'll pass.<br /><br />See you later!<br /><br />~Nonnie Jules<br />nonniewrites.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454630140411211407.post-64695042055842361412023-01-09T05:49:21.659-05:002023-01-09T05:49:21.659-05:00There are days that I'm not sure how I got it ...There are days that I'm not sure how I got it all done, Donna.

You rock, girl! Of course you probably have the energy you do, in part, because of your healthy diet. Kudos! As far as grocery shopping is concerned, I usually go two different stores, and I too make a point to look for organic. : )<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Donna M Atwood<br />D M Atwood<br />https://www.dmatwood.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454630140411211407.post-1641000495312422362023-01-08T21:47:26.504-05:002023-01-08T21:47:26.504-05:00For real, John!

I slowly learned that taking care of myself meant a better quality of life for me and those I love, so now I make that a priority. :-)Yvette M Calleirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339847003855092078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454630140411211407.post-71598779433179619992023-01-08T21:45:15.954-05:002023-01-08T21:45:15.954-05:00You made me laugh, Patty!

It's hard sometimes to stop and take a break, especially when I have so many things that need to be done. I'm learning to pause every now and then.

And that you are bringing up your son to be so self-sufficient- good for both of you! I do happen to shop at three stores, but it is more of an effort to get certain things that only they have. I'm glad you make time for pleasant things like your walks, that are also healthy!

You and your son make a great team, and you've done him a great service by giving him so much responsibility in caring for himself and the house. After reading about your baking, cleaning, walking, and writing, I'm ready for a nap. Blessings!

Maybe I'll post a blog once a month. That may be more feasible, and it won't annoy those who follow me. Lol! But you are right - I have missed writing poetry. Well, writing in general. I'm hoping to make writing a habit this year. Fingers crossed!

It is so nice ...Hello, Yvette, <br />Here is Pat Garcia,<br />It is so nice to hear you're teaching your son how to clean house and take over other responsibilities in the house. That makes him independent and not afraid to take care of himself as he gets older. <br />it was also nice to hear you're writing your poetry again. I know you must have missed it, and I hope you keep on doing it, because it sounds like it lightens your burden. <br />I admire that you keep on following the blogs even when you don't write a poem. That's something I don't do. But I don't blog every week. That is something that I don't want to do. <br />Take care and have a lovely Sunday. <br />Shalom aleichemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454630140411211407.post-13932212525735460882023-01-08T08:37:23.432-05:002023-01-08T08:37:23.432-05:00Thank you, Willow!
