The Root of the Matter

It's been a while since I've posted. Truthfully, I had becomed discouraged with blogging (and other things but that's another post). I toyed with shutting the whole thing down. After some soul searching over the matter, I decided the problem was that I had gotten away from my original intentions with this thing, and that was to just use it for a daily journal type format. Ya' know, my life & stuff. I had allowed myself to want to do things like other bloggers. The swaps, the this, the that...oh I don't know...all that. It's easy for me to go chasing the next shiny thing that catches my eye so I'm not surprised that I did that.

So, I've decided to get back to that "root".

From now on, life, my life.

And I'll start today, right now with this interesting (ha) tidbit:

right this very minute I'm doing what is called "oil pulling". I read some great things about it. Whether it works or not, I don't know. I'm going to experiment with it since I'm not happy with my gum health. I don't like the process frankly, it's kind of disgusting in my opinion but, I'll give it a whirl.
Then I'll take Ari to school and Mike for the procedure he's having for the pain in his hips.
I got the stitches out of my right foot yesterday & the nurse said I could try wearing tennis shoes in a week. I can't wait. I'd rather be wearing other types of shoes but I take the sneaker over this post op shoe any day. It slows me down and is just awkward. I plan on taking a break for a month or so and then having the pins taken out of the left foot. I'm glad I had the surgeries done but it has taken the better part of the past year dealing with it. Sigh.
Off to make it a great day!
