Red and green,
shrieks of laughter,
hollers of happiness,
a chorus of joy fills the Den.
Cousins and grandparents,
brothers and sister,
uncles and aunts,
all together by the warm fire.
Wrapping paper strewn across the carpet,
mounds of toys miles high,
a smile upon every face ,
sadness banished from this happy place.
In the blink of an eye,
in a flash of Christmas light,
gleeful words of thanks turned to sorrow filled goodbyes.
Today I want to share with you something amazing, something that will go home thinking about, and maybe even what you do everyday.
About a year ago I was visiting my cousins in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I was was offered an oddly textured, orange drink by my cousin. I took a sip and was surprised that that it was… GREAT. Being a young, calculating type, I asked what was in the drink, and the answer surprised me even more… just carrots, oranges, and apples! My cousin started showing off this thing that he called a juicer, it looked like a mix between a blender, food processor, a box, and a pipe.

That night we watch a documentary about about juicing called, Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. It is about a man who is, well, fat..sick…and nearly dead. He starts only drinking from his juicer for sixty days, no food! Then he…WAIT! I can’t tell you the ending, you’ll just have to watch it to find out. Lets just say that by the end of the movie I was inspired, and I think you will be inspired too. Just watch it!
