Tropical Fruit Salsa

Mom always says everything looks worse when you’re tired.  While I have learned that Mom is pretty much always right, I had an epiphany about this the other night, when I was very, very tired.  By the way, I don’t mean that in a snarky way … Mom really is almost always right.  Seriously, it’s kind of freaky.

Back to the epiphany.  I began thinking about her statement and I have my own spin on it.  Maybe we just see the truth, a harsh reality when we’re tired.  We see things with eyes that don’t have the energy to rose color our surroundings.

Tropical Fruit Salsa

There’s nothing wrong with trying to put a positive spin on things, see the good in the bad, find the hope in the dark, but maybe sometimes we need a wakeup call, and that is what being tired, really, really tired brings.

It shows us our faults and those of our surroundings.  This isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  We can all use to take a harsh look in the mirror sometimes.  That glimpse of reality, even if it is short lived, can stick with us, and teach us how to make things better.

Tropical Fruit Salsa

We can’t change what is wrong if we never see it in the first place.  Or worse, if we don’t see it until it is too late.

So the other day and night I was wiped out after the Bon Jovi concert (more on that next week – it was worth every lost moment of sleep), I learned a little more about me than I had known before and found some of the drive to fix things the next day.

And also to make this Tropical Fruit Salsa.  Full of fresh, vibrant colors and flavors, don’t you just want to dive right in to this healthy, vegan, gluten free, Whole30 dip, snack, salad, side?  I love mixing fruit and vegetables, sweet and spicy, and this salsa has some of my favorites.

Tropical Fruit Salsa

Tomatoes.  Pineapple.  Onion.  Cucumber.  Jalapeno.  Mango.  Serve this with fish, beef, pork, chips, or just a fork.  And then solve the problems of your world.
