Dear Friends,
Some time ago, I came across an expression that as we say in Farsi, sat on my heart, "Issues in tissues," referring to our health problems being related to our life problems.
In the past seven days, while desperately trying to honour my body, or at least not abusing it, I've learnt that in order to have issueless tissues, I must become a hermit, with amnesia.
7:15 - an inflamed, achy body got out of bed
7:18 - 2 pounds up since the last weight watching — disheartening!
9:10 - reluctant laps in the swimming pool
10.00 - 2 poached eggs, 2 apricots
11:00 - Mind snapped! She had finally realized that the daily 20 to 30 laps around the pool was more of a mind calming activity rather than a body building exercise.
13:30 - after visiting Hubbs Creek Vineyard, in Prince Edward County, Mind went on a rampage in Wellington! Even Vanity, obsessed with fitting into a 5 year-old black skirt, couldn't stop her. Wine, cheese, bread, soup made with cream, beef stew, scone, ice cream, more wine, more cheese, more bread and chocolate!
Body spent the rest of the afternoon and evening suffering from dehydration, spasms, acid reflux, inflammation and a general feeling of discomfort.
22:00 - Guilt made a big healthy salad that we all ate with a smirk.
22:33 - Guilt is making all sorts of promises to repair the damages. She is planning to crawl into bed with us.
8 wasted, 58 left to delight in?
