This is my first mobile post.
It's October already and I just noticed that I forgot to lose weight. I think the reason that it is so dificult is that it depends on the absence of an action.Not doing something is difficult. Spend less time and energy eating than I am currently spending. Thinking about not eating is a lot like thinking about eating. So I need to not think about not eating. I wonder if it. Is possible to do this not thinking without being aware of it? Even if I could for a time-there's always food that wakes my thoughts-then I'm thinking again. Oh wretched woman that I am.

Fireflies Tonight

Twilight under a grove of large evenly spaced trees, the boys and Fritz were running through the grass with  their arms outstretched chasing flashes of yellow light. Kim and I walking the path follow them with Fritz. We walk until the path opens into a meadow surrounded by thick woods.

Dusk now, Kim  is walking with her hands lifted up and stretched out following a light across the meadow, she reaches out and misses--her light flying higher into the woods. We all look up at the dense trees surrounding the meadow and they are full of fireflies twinkling like Christmas Tree lights. Marcus slips up beside me and whispers, "Paradise."

Cross Country

We are in St. Louis Missouri, after driving in from Kansas City last night. We left on June 3rd., our routeand went through Flagstaff, over to New Mexico where we spent our first night in Santa Fe. We ate at the Flying Tortilla that was right beside the motel. Elias had some really good buttermilk pancakes for dinner. We didn't do much there but went on to Taos the next morning and walked around the Plaza. There were quite a few locals hanging around talking and most of them greeted each other with a hug. We saw more platonics hugs there then we have seen anywhere else.
The dull pastel green hills between Sante Fe and Taos were dotted with small round bushes evenly spaced around the hill. Rustic polka dot landscaping.
Elias found some juggling stick that called his name so he spent a portion of his vacation allowance and took them unto himself. I needed coffee so we walk around until we found a coffee cafe. While I was in getting my large 2% quad latte, Elias found a someone to begin teaching him how to use his new toy. By the time I had my first sip he had mastered some basic moves with the sticks.
