Clueless.....

Disclaimer: This post contains information on a current movie that may or may not give you more of a clue to the movie than I had. I don't think it will give the ending, but just so you know.

So now for a good laugh...It started as a date night, you know...dinner and a movie. It was Definitely, Maybe. You know the ad showed a little girl trying to find out which one was her mom. So her dad starts telling her a mixed up story about how he met her mom which involves several ladies. Ok, so you are wondering now, what's the big deal, sounds nice enough...except that when the mom showed up, I was completely baffled as to how all the stories fit together, and how the little girl didn't know who her mother was, and if she didn't know who her mother was in the beginning, how could she later know and what is the deal anyway? Now if you are as confused now as I was then, good..., let me explain. I was under the delusion that the girl did not know who her mother was and her dad had been raising her alone. I thought the story was for the daughter to figure out WHO her mother was. So when the mom showed up and she knew her, I was thoroughly confused for the rest of the movie, until Matt explained that she knew her mom, they were in the middle of a divorce, and the movie was about HOW he met her. The daughter wanted to know the grand love story of her parents. So here it is the end of a 2 hour movie and the movie I thought I was watching was not it at all, and now I am thinking...I need to see that movie over again, or I guess for the first time since I apparently missed it the first time. Matt was completely baffled and very amused at how I could have missed the whole plot of the movie. So I hope this adds to the self confidence of the many of you who think you struggle in the academic sense... always know I will be here to keep you looking smart. :)

Yes, I am still blogging...

Ok, for all of you who just can't wait, here it is. Sorry no pictures. My husband changed up computers and I no longer have access to my picture manager for the time being. So you will just have to read. So without pictures, what do I talk about? Food!!!! We all love it. It is our best friend and our worst enemy, can't live with it and certainly can't live without it, so what is it about food that keeps us in this place? If you think about what food is, it is by nature created to nourish our bodies. So with that, we should eat to nourish our bodies. Yes that means no ice cream, pizza, cookies or even white bread. Hmmm...is that even possible? Yes, since the 21st of February I have been on a Dr. suggested cleanse diet, and with a bit of tweaking could very much be a pure, nourishing diet to live on. However, is that realistic? My dilemna is truly with the food that satisfies the soul, you know, the Starbucks hot chocolate on a cold night that just relaxes you to the core, or the Ben and Jerry's that is so sweet with a girlie movie late at night. I have since, being on this diet, realized how much you can live without. It is not the physical craving of the body, it is the feeling the food creates that I have to change. When your health and wellness is involved, the stakes are high and choices limited. So my advice is to truly note how you are caring for the bodies God gave you, and truly ask yourself if you are eating for nourishment, or feeling. If you don't have health issues, praise the Lord, and then ask yourself what you can do to care for your body. If you do have issues, you know what I speak of, when anything you do affects your wellness, and food is at the top. I encourage you to persevere. Food is everywhere, and just because our government and FDA says it is healthy, does not mean it truly nourishes the body. As for me, I will nourish my body with the prayer that God would honor my efforts to please Him in this, and I will continue to enjoy my hot chocolate as an occasional treat.
