Gandhi...

Gandhi said "Your health is your real wealth". At least I still have a sense of humor. I have a cold...just a cold. The difference with this cold is I can't treat the symptoms. I used to pop a couple of Alka-Seltzer cold tabs and be on my merry way. I might be a little more easy to tire, but on the whole, no biggie. But now that I wear a medical alert bracelet...I have issues. I can't take most of the OTC (over the counter for those of you, like me, that needed help with things like LOL and OMG) I have to seek pharmaceutical advice. When I was 17, that had a whole different meaning. Basically I now suck on sugar free hard candy and carry kleenex, lots and lots of kleenex. My eyes are weepy, my nose is running I have an annoying cough and a limp...where the hell did that come from? Oh dear..

Not to worry, I was originally going to tell you about my joyful news; the five pounds I gained over Thanksgiving were lost as of last week. I was going to say that I lost it through scrupulous exercise and nutritional management. Unfortunately that would have been a lie. I actually lost the weight due to a revolutionary new diet created by my daughter. She followed my around sighing loudly and saying,

                 "YOU CAN'T EAT THAT"

This is a very effective form of torture...I mean nutritional discipline. While I love her unconditionally, I realize that she has a gift that should be shared with the world. For a small fee, she can help you with your own dietary concerns. When I say, "small fee" it is because that is all I can afford to pay to get you to get her off of.... just kidding. I love that little monkey, truly. I'm not just saying that because she walked into the room.

Another thing Gandhi said was, " Your life is your message", so live well.

Peace and love to you all....
