I'm visiting my girlfriend in Maine. She told me before I came that she was now "clean eating" which I thought would translate in to starvation, no taste eating. Boy was I wrong, I've spent 3 days without any sugar, flour, or anything processed at all. It has been tasteful, satisfying and amazingly flavorful. I would have thought I could never take this kind of radical eating style on, but now I'm considering it. Moral of the story, don't be a naysayer before you have given something a chance.

Next item on my thoughts is to extend yourself generously to others anytime you have an opportunity. I have been on the receiving end of some very gracious warmth and hospitality from people who I barely know and live 100's of miles from me and I tell you, it feels so nice. I don't think I have ever been so lovingly treated by people who are almost strangers in my whole life. I always think people aren't interested in getting to know people they won't be involved with. Of course that is definitely one of the problems with my personality, but I'm going to aim to be more open to all of life's possibilities and people. It opens up my heart, mind and soul. Women are immensely varied and interesting people to know. They add so much to my life in all the many forms and types they come in. This week I've learned to knit and clean eat. Who knows who or what is around the corner for me next?
