WATERMELON: Makes you go mmmmmm and hmmmm....

For those of you who know my husband and I, we LOVE Costco. Yesterday, we received the latest edition of the Costo Connection newsletter; and I found this really neat snippet that happened to hit the spot in terms of giving me some “just back from vacation mojo” that I needed. Wally Amos, owner of Wally’s Muffin Company, wrote the Watermelon Credo. Check it out and see how you can apply it to your lifestyle!

W- Whatever you believe creates your reality. Believe that life is a positive experience and it will be.

A – Attitude is the magic word. Your greatest asset is your attitude. Be positive regardless.

T – Together everyone achieves more. There are no limits to what we can accomplish together. I am more than I am but less than we are.

E – Enthusiasm is the wellspring of life. There is no limit to what can be accomplished with enough enthusiasm.

R - Respect yourself, as well as others. When you begin to respect yourself, your whole world changes.

M – Make commitments, not excuses. There is overwhelming power in the words, “Yes I will!”

E – Everyday can be a fun day. Fun is the lubricant that keeps life moving forward. Laugh a lot.

L – Love is the answer. Whatever the question, Love is the answer. It’s the greatest force in the universe.

O – One day at a time. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. All of life happens in increments of one.

N – Never give up or become a victim. You are guaranteed to lose if you give up. Winston Churchill was right, “never, never, never, give up.” It works if you work it.

And, while we’re on the topic of watermelons, did you know how AWESOME they are for you?! They’re a great source of lycopene, Vitamins A, B6, and C – good for immunity, decreasing heart disease and inflammation and fighting cancer-causing free radicals. It’s also a good source of potassium. Try out some of the neat recipes from the National Watermelon Promotion Board! From breakfast to salads, to drinks and sides – who knew watermelons could be so versatile?!
