Daily Food Diary – Day 264 of 365

Today is Day 264 of my Daily Food Diary! 😊

Today is also  son Mark’s birthday.  He lives across the city from us with his fiance and two young sons.  I have not seen him in almost four years, but he is still and always will be my son – and of course I wish him well on his birthday (as well as every other day of the year 🎂💝).

This morning, I took Molly for a walk by myself, as Dan is taking advantage of our gorgeous weather to go golfing.

I came home to have a bowl of cereal and found that the only container of milk in our fridge had not been wrestled open. 🤬

On my first try, with my bare hands, I got that sucker open!

Every day since I started taking collagen, my strength is increasing, and I find myself easily doing things that I have not been able to do for decades (or ever).  It is incredible!

Of course the most incredible thing is how much better my respiratory system is doing.  I will always have asthma and multiple environmental allergies.  But in general, my sinuses, throat, and lungs are feeling strong  and clear.  Much better than they have been for five years.  🤗
