GRATEFUL TUESDAY - Sunshine, Summer Salad and Steemit

Taking in some vitamin D and fresh air always makes me feel good! Laying down, taking time to relax, listen to music and having a coffee - it really doesn't get better than this! :) And the best thing is, I get to enjoy it in the backyard of my home. Going to the city beach can be fun sometimes, but past couple of years I prefer the comfort of my own space. Since it was super hot and sunny, I went under the shower first and then outside, the heat is more managable that way.

My eating habits have been quite bad lately. Yesterday and today I started my mornings with a healthy breakfast, based on oatmeal and fruits plus some extra ingredients, and today I made myself this fresh, yummy salad. This is something I used to do few summers back but this year I got a little bit lazy with it, even though it doesn't take much effort at all. So I gathered some fresh veggies from our garden - tomatoes, cucumbers and yellow bell peppers, chopped them up, threw them into a bowl and added my go to homemade salad dressing - olive oil, apple cider vinegar, greek salad mix and dried basil. I also added some cheese and viola!

In the afternoon, I dedicated some time to Steemit, finally! It felt good to sit down, read posts, upvote and leave some comments here and there. I used to do this every day but lately, as you might know from some of my previous posts, my inspiration for writing and interacting went down a bit so I'm still working on raising that bar. I feel like my Social media detox I started yesterday might play a role in me slowly getting back to Steemit. I am starting to realize how much time I was waisting for nothing, when I could do so many other things that bring me a lot more joy.
