Hello all,
Happy holiday greetings. Had a wonderfully quiet day yesterday...just my
dad and I feasting on durian and papaya. Boy, is durian good (Kirt, I can
see how an addiction would form). And to think I spent three months in
Thailand and didn't really venture out and try this fruit. Guess I got
stuck on the pineapple. The Japanese have a great tradition of cleaning
their houses before New Year's Day rolls around. I've adopted this ritual
since 1993, so I go on a cleaning frenzy of sorts. There's something so
refreshing about starting the new year in order.
I also started a fast today (first time ever). I haven't decided for how
long I want it to last. I'm going to take it day by day and see how I/my body reacts to it.
It's almost bedtime and I must say that day one was easy. No feelings of
hunger. My stomach did grumble once while I was teaching but that was
about it. I am hoping to conquer my fear of hunger by doing this. Face
what you are afraid of and the fear will go away, or so they say.
I do have a strange sensation in my ears. This also happens when I don't
eat for a while. it's a sensation of my coming down with an earache, but
that never happens. It's an awareness of "oh, I have ears" when I
usually don't think about them. Any insights?
I also went to the healthclub and did a light workout. The real treat
was the steamroom to cleanse by body of whatever toxins are in there. It
felt really great.
Anyone have resolutions for 1997?
Happy 1997
Meredith
