Day 20

THOUGHTS- So it's Easter saturday and I know that tomorrow is going to be a challenge for me. A holiday that celebrates with chocolate. Even though I'm a vegan we still have plenty of chocolatey treats to enjoy and I know it's going to be a struggle. I went and saw a friends family today and gave them all their goodies. Even though I'm not a fan of supporting the dairy industry it was so precious to see the look on the kids faces. The most precious was when I gave the one year old a little ballerina bunny she was so adorable and played with it for a while until she got a hold of the box that her brothers eggs had come in. He made me a little paper cut out egg that he had coloured in and written on for me and I think that was the best gift I received all easter. It's not about how much money you spend on holdidays like these but it's about the thought that you put into things. I had a great day and then went to hang out with another couple of friends. They kept offering me beers which I had to keep refusing kindly. Normally I would have jumped at the chance of free beer but once I explained about the earth diet they seemed to understand. I know when I explain it to my family they will not understand but they still don't understand about veganism so I'll just continue to be who I am and do what I do and not worry about what anyone else has to say about it. And that's my moral for today. I also wanted to use the pretty picture I found when I was searching motivation. :) I could have also used the pic in a blog about the different colour additives in our food but I wanted to express the joy of children. :)
