When did our society get so…dirty?

Every time I look in these junkalogs (my pet name for the consistent flow of catalogs I get) , I see these “detox foot pads” advertised. They are these small square-shaped white pads that adhere to the bottoms of your feet and overnight they somehow “pull the toxins from the body”, dispensing them onto the pads. ( Read more... )

I am imperfect.

I don’t always keep my elbows off of the dinner table.

Sometimes I over eat.

Then I complain about the tummy ache.

The things I say don’t always make sense; they don’t always seem logical,

But I expect others to accept it, even if they don’t agree with it.

It’s been a very relaxing weekend, and right now I’m enjoying a very relaxing Sunday evening. Jonathan and I are both at our computers - he’s playing his baseball team managing game (yes, baseball team managing) and I’m doing some much-needed journaling. The weather was most pleasant this ( Read more... )

Tomorrow’s Friday. I can’t begin to describe how happy I am. I’ve made it through four days at work - one more left. I’m very proud of myself, actually. Granted, I’ve treated myself to a few more mochas and lunches out than usual, but I’ve been in excellent company these past few days. It’s really amazing how surrounding one’s self with people that ( Read more... )
