Cooking makes me happy, who knew?

This few weeks I had it rough!
My wisdom tooth caused me misery!
First he inflamed, than because of all the pain killers, my stomach start to hurt!
Than I had to take antibiotics, this made it worse!
So I stayed 4 days home from work!
Than I healed!
Than my  wisdom tooth had to be pulled out!
So I had 5 stitches!
Damn that hurts when the anesthetics worked out !
Than I survived again a lot of pain!
And now I have a respiratory infection!
So lucky me! But I read somewhere it says :" Bad things won't last forever, It will pass!"
So think positive, but this a month that my health is on the back burner!
So I couldn't concentrate on anything completely!
It is also the weeks of the Christmas fasts for the Orthodox church!
I will confess that I always had problems with my stomach when I fasted.
I missed yoghurt!
But now I tried the Soya yoghurt!
And it helps! I have a normal bowel movement!
Because that was sometimes a problem I got constipated!
But now not!
I tried to keep it very healthy!
Because even during fasting times you can eat unhealthy!
So I tried a lot of vegetables!
I put some recipes on the blog!
But with my pain, this relaxed me!
Cutting the vegetables and mixing new recipes It was a challenge!
And it appears that I'm good at it!
Normally we fast the first week and the last week of the fasting period!
Because my husband has a difficult physical job, and now he is also renovating our new house, what is exhausting for him and brings extra stress in the relationship!
But we're surviving it!
So he isn't fasting this week!
But I am because I also lost weight and the healthy cooking pulls me through!
So I decided the fast one extra week!
I would really like to fast until the end but I think I will start from Monday 14.12 with the yoghurts because I need it for my immunity!
But I will keep on the cooking!
I think I will only start with yoghurts and cheese and let the rest out of my meals.
But we will see!
I fasted already one extra week than normal, so I can be proud of myself!
But the cooking makes me happy, and you also think about what you eat!
Because now you can see that people with allergies gluten and lactose have a really difficult period!
That is what is fasting about!
To realize how difficult it is for some people, and to challenge yourself!
It is not about the severity!
But about love for the other people!
You also have to be better, good to everybody!
To argue less and love more!
That is the goal!
We're doing a pretty good job!

Good luck! and good health!
Because without good health, it is more difficult!
And have respect for everybody!

Greetings!
