I have discovered a new product that is totally amazing. Peanut Butter. This is not just any peanut butter, however. This peanut butter is made by the Saratoga Peanut Butter Company. We discovered it while on a walkabout near Lake Placid, NY at the White Face Mountain Oktoberfest.

This company was started in 2005 and their motto, "We started at nuts, and then went crazy!" says it all.  And this statement about their products matters to me as well:

All of our nut butter blends are GLUTEN FREE and have no added sugars preservatives, artificial additives, and anything else that you cannot pronounce.

My favorite flavor is Adirondack Jam, a blend of peanut and almond butter with cranberries, sunflower seeds, honey, flax seed and cinnamon.  Does that not sound amazing?  I am enjoying some right now on a slice of Ezekiel bread with a cup of coffee. I went through one jar in a week and had to order a second jar. It was worth the $5 shipping I had to pay to get it here.

But this is not about peanut butter. It is about remembering to be thankful for simple things and small discoveries that bring joy to your day.  

What is your flavor of bliss today?

In Gratitude,

Liane

If life’s journey be endless where is its goal? The answer is, it is everywhere. We are in a palace which has no end, but which we have reached. By exploring it and extending our relationship with it we are ever making it more and more our own. ~Rabindranath Tagore

We explore the world around us to extend and expand our relationship with it. Like any relationship, it requires attention, focus, presence, respect and love. This connection we seek with our world is what inspires us to jump in the car and just go every chance we get. We do not need a particular destination for these adventures. Our palace is everywhere.
