Assessing The Glass

[UR Groovy]

I guess it's about the dairy - the butter, really - sour cream, cottage cheese - you know - all the stuff I like. At the same time, it's about a couple other things. I'm just bummed again. It's about the fact that MSG is in everything, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Hydrogenated / Partially Hydrogenated fats - I miss eating only whole foods, but it's a lot to cook all the time, and cleaning - geez - clean the veggies, clean the kitchen, clean the dishes

Hi Kat

I go through similar periods, too. I like to think of myself as a "glass 1/2 full" person, but I still have my days....

I think it's good to get these things off your chest--I think you'll find that you're not alone at all! Hopefully, that will help.

I'm glad you posted

You need to work on perspective and acceptance. I do it all naturally with three children. Granted, they can assist in loading dishes, unloading, rinsing vegetables.. At the end of each day, I take so much pride in evalutaing what we ate. If I were to try and dismiss a few neurotoxins here or there, some caseomophins in the dairy we were to eat, the pesticides, the heart clogging oils... well, I would sleep far worse than I do now. Congratulations on doing the hard work. Until 100 years ago, all of humanity did "the hard work". We can do it again!

Just wanted to quickly say thanks Patti (jerseyangel). I appreciated that. My glass is looking fuller lately.

Hawkfire, if you see this, just wanted to say Kudos ! You're right, of course - acceptance is the problem mostly. I've been working on that.
