"How are you?"
Tired. Exhausted.
"Why? What happened?"
Oh, I feel like that every day.
Perhaps one of our saddest realities is that, as Americans, we have crawled inside the hamster wheel and while working as hard as we can, we find ourselves exhausted and without any margin of energy with which to enjoy relationships and life.
The hamster may be completely joyful inside that wheel but we are not.
Yet we are wired for joy because we are made in God's image.
I have found a reservoir of joy that I didn't see coming. When I asked God in my forties to show me how to age with the least disease, the least pain and the most mobility, He led me to nutrition.
Remember that age-old adage: You are what you eat. It is...simply true.
Begin your own search. Might I suggest a starting point? Forks over Knives--a documentary presenting startling research on how eating changes can impact and even completely reverse low energy and disease (available on Netflix).
Let the hamster keep his spot. There's a feel-better place for you, where joy can once again come into view.
