Essence of retirement

  • On my way to publish my book!  So exciting!
  • Changed the cover to make it more appealing as an ebook.  That's my next step.
  • Got the chronological Bible in the NLT version on my nook!  Read it in the NIV version a few years ago!
  • Just got a brand new book called "Diet Rehab."  It's incredible.  The author explains why I'm having so much trouble with sugar and why it's dangerous to quit "cold turkey."  The book has many ideas as far as "booster" activities and thinking from an experienced phychiatrist who specializes in "cognitive behavioral therapy,"  addiction and especially food addiction.  He lays out a plan for gradually replacing "sugar" with serotonin boosting foods, activities and changes in thinking through cognitive behavior therapy, affirmations, a healthy mantra and other positive thinking skills and activities like prayer and meditation, yoga, exercise, sleep cues and mindfulness.  It's loaded, informative, refers to the brain chemistry research on addiction and is an excellent read. 
  • Sun's shining! :)
  • Georgie's clean and sweet smelling, even had his teeth cleaned...no more tartar and bad breath.
  • Jess, Joel and I are playing at a nursing home this week as a community service.  Fun!  Hope to lift some spirits.  My jokes are so bad that they make you laugh and that's great for your health.
  • Found reason for severe headaches...no more "Skinny Peppermint Mocha Lattes."
