Breathe (I have to remind myself)

I am looking forward to this weekend. I've been very stressed lately and I need to just take some time to reflect. Things seem to pile up all at once and it really gets me down. I need to take better care of myself and focus on my health. My biggest problem is worrying about everyone and everything else before me. I know it seems like just good ol' common sense to take care of myself but I worry about the rest of the world first. A trip to the town pool and a good book should put me on my way to healing this weekend. I have many other things I need to do but let's see just how much of it I can leave undone. As my old acupuncturist used to say with a calm voice and a heavy accent, "deep breathe.... relax your mind." Maybe I should listen.

Food, Inc.

My husband and I watched this movie together the other night and were left speechless by what was shown and what we learned. I find it extremely disturbing that what we eat and what is available for us to eat is pretty scary. I fear for my children's futures and their health based on what our country is trying to sell us on foodwise. It's not good. This movie is definitely one to watch. We've definitely got to make a change, otherwise, we are in for a lifetime of sicknesses and epidemics of all kinds. Watch it--you won't regret it.
