Dumb Phone

A friend's nine year daughter interrupted my description of my "smart phone"'s features ..by blurting out: "smart phone"? more like a dumb phone!

One Meal at a Time

A friend was explaining the science behind weight loss.  I reacted by telling him that I went against every rule,I was told, and lost a substantial amount of weight.

I used to eat everything in the largest of portions available and  felt deprived...Now I eat what I crave in smaller portions..resulting in a gradual weight loss and a removal of a lingering sense of  deprivation

I am not thinking long term..one meal at a time

Deep End Of a Personality

I was thinking about how there were moments when I loved delving into someone else..I was feeling a twinge of  fleeting sadness..then I realized that when I escape into the other person..I avoid my own
self cultivation..so I need to be careful before I jump into the deep end of a specific personality...

When we invest a lot of our daily lives in other people..I have done this with a handful

Color Coding

Last night, I attended a donation drive.  The donation drive was married with a singles mixer. We were assigned colors based on our relationship status..yellow is complicated..green is single..red is married..

I wondered ..if a person attended in muted colors..would that mean that he was willing to show up..yet he refused to be optimistic about his outcome..

Craving or a Binge?

I had a day of memory triggers.  I was due for a meal.  Rice is a comfort food.  I had a portion with lunch..is eating when upset,only a danger, when u binge?

Or is it merely fulfilling a craving if it comes with a meal?

Seeking a Lifeguard

A friend nearly drowned in the ocean.  An undertow swept her out to sea and she fought  her way back to shore. 

I thought of her story as a metaphor for life..performing a breaststroke..when seeking help from a lifeguard..we are our best selves
