Since I am cleansing this week (before holidays are upon us) I find today's joy dare ironic.

So today, I am thankful for the cleanse drink in all of its glorious grittiness. It flushes the toxins and fills my body with nutrients. For the health that is being restored to my body, I am deeply thankful.

I am thankful for juicy pears and Honeycrisp apples that make this cleanse much easier. Yum!!

I am thankful for sweet salmon with lots of spices.
