I love that I am getting old and I am still learning! HA! That's good.
So I have been taking an ounce of acai juice with a teaspoon and a half of flaxseed oil every morning for the last couple months... well I just added the oil two weeks ago. But hey I have a lot more energy and my dry eye is going away and my skin feels better. So good.
I also realized today that as I was listening to the local news hearing all these younger people being mentioned for either arrest or awards, etc. That as each name was said I was rehearsing the names in my mind; hoping that if it was an arrest I would NOT hear the name of a former student. I mean for heaven's sake, I was holding my breath! Love and caring runs deep. And by the way no arrests and one award for the home team! good. but not good for those who were arrested. sad.
I got one of those exercise balls. very fun.
Ha ha, I just noticed that every paragraph starts with "I" - I guess this is a self-centered thing these blogs.
Tomorrow should prove interesting. That's all I can say right now.
Peace

The Geography of Bliss
I can't take credit for this title... it's the title of a book I am reading by Eric Weiner. He took a trip searching for the "Happiest Places in the World". http://www.amazon.com/Geography-Bliss-Grumps-Search-Happiest/dp/044669889X/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236562274&sr=8-1
So far, I have read about a third of the book and he's having difficulty! It seems every country defines it a bit differently, happiness that is. It is often tongue in cheek and has caused me to chuckle out loud a few times.
I am glad I can say with confidence I have a lot around me that makes me happy. Good friends and all that, fun job and all that, good fam and all that. I am pretty sure that at the end of the book he is going to know what a lot of us already do. "Um, home is where the heart is, um, mom knows (knew) best, um love your work and be happy." Seems like the next line should be "love the ones you're with" or some other line from an old song.
On another subject I went for a couple of walks this weekend, nothing too huge, but the wildflowers are popping so I have to be among them. And I am glad that it is in the mid-60's and sunny. I like it cool, I like needing a sweatshirt when I walk. It won't last for long... the wildflowers or the sweatshirt weather - enjoy 'em while you have 'em I say.
