Skip to #4 for my epiphany of the day

So few things:

1.  I have purchased some good vitamins.  And, I am taking them everyday.  Got the B's going and the Synergy Multi and the extra B-12 , Biotin and protein and green smoothies, the right measurement of the EPA and the DHA, or is it the DEA and PBJ, anyway, all that jazz.  I have so much energy that I am actually doing more stuff!  But, that makes me tired, all the more stuff I do.

So what's better -- getting more done and being tired?  Or not getting a lot of stuff done and being tired?  I'd say it's really a catch-22 and literally a state of mind.  I'm living with door #1.

2.  My epidermis is aging faster than my brainerdermous.  All that baking I did in the sun  in my early years when I wasn't afraid of the sun?  Using Baby Oil for tanning lotion?  What was I, an idiot?  Geesh.  Well, those layers are finally coming up to the top and they are of a  questionable looking  nature.  My dermatologist wants me to do this Carac treatment on my entire face for 3 weeks, and then call her if I think  it looks really terrible. (Whatttt?? No.  You know I am going to call you IF anything is on my face ugly at the end of 3 weeks!)

So, I came home and Googled 'carac treatment' and found some really, truly brave people who filmed their experience for 40 days of treatment and I want to thank them!  After what I saw, there is no way that my vanity is that altered or enlightened that I will be doing that and going out into the public.  I will be doing a section at a time, thank you very much.  And probably wearing a mask.

What I am secretly praying for is that my Hispanic genes are going to hold fast and true and I shall be just spotted but with no cancerous out bursts.  It'll be a while before I know, though.  I've decided  to divide my face up into 65 sections.

(Seriously, just go to You Tube and check out the videos.  I watched without the sound, but still... Brave people)

3.  I am getting rid of more material stuff and it does feel great.  Why is that?   Is that actually weight?  I'm not sure.  But, I've heard all kinds of stories and ideas about when someone starts to give their stuff away ---  And all I can say is, I can't take it with me, and really, no one wants to deal with this after you're dead.  I should divide everything up into 65 sections, take one section a week, and in the next year and a half, or so, you do the math, I could just circle back and get rid of more stuff, and what am I talking about now?   All that circling ... I'm tired from thinking about it!  I'll take another B-12.

4.  My epiphany of the day --  If you have not already gotten over yourself, you  so should go ahead and do that.

5.  What really matters to you?  I mean that in the sense of what bothers you or upsets you?  Do yourself a great big, huge favor and Don't let it be the small things.  You will find there are  many small things.  And that will make for a really prickly life if you choose to be bothered by these things.  I speak from experience.

Seeing your children grow up helps you see what really matters.  Having a grandchild, wow, that is like the capital crown of the visibility of innocence that the really big people in the world get together and all ruin.  But yeah, I started to see more clearly what was more important.  And the hug was more important that the spaghetti stain from the cutest little hands that were just eating pasta. and she just had to hug her Grandma.  Yeah.

6.  Be good because you should.  Who defines good?  That would be you.

7.  If you are not having any fun, I am sorry to tell you this, but you are wasting time and are in a rut.  There is just no point in not having some fun.  I mean, seriously, go write on your walls if you need too, just do something that makes you smile and feel good inside.

 I am hooked on these little random acts of kindness.  My favorite is kids in the check out lines.  I have the cashier put their stuff on my bill.  It's so funny.  Because they are always confused.

This one cashier at the Dollar Store is just hilarious.  She always acts like we are doing under cover work and is all stealth about it.  My hope is that whenever I do these things, it will continue the spark and someone else will want to do them, too.

Anyway, enough blather.
 
Life is good if you want it to be.  I hope we all discover that before the last page.  The one that  says:

The End.
