Good Morning,
Had a great day yesterday. The rain didn't bother us too much as it was one of those days when the sun was shining and then a little rain and over and over.
Don and I went to the Veg Fest (Vegetarian Fair). It was very good, well planned with excellent speakers (John McDougall), music, samples and lots of tables with good information. I'm not a total veg but am almost there. The issue I heard over and over again was how to be a healthy veg/vegan.
Today I'll be going to the Al Anon meeting and then a craft demo at the library.
Got the latest James Patterson book 8th Confession and am trying not to plow through it.
October is almost here and I put up my Fall flag, colorful leaves with a happy welcome written on the top.
A friend sent me a funny piece of information: The scent of peppermint causes people to eat less. She said, "I'm thinking of taping a peppermint stick to my forehead." How about a peppermint necklace. Festive, don't you think?
I hope everyone has a pleasant Sunday.

I love the idea of the Veg Fest! I too am as of almost 6 months attempting seriously at the vegetarian lifestyle, with a couple of slips (pepperoni!) and eating chicken or beef stock several times, which is progress for me, something I've wanted to be more serious about for a long time. What I love is when friends / relatives are accomodating to me! It is quite a synchronistic affirmation.
I got an Al Anon sponsor! After 2 years attending, a woman approached me after a meeting to offer some direction, so I am truly blessed. Now taking it is taking some work, but it is a good thing.
I like the idea of a peppermint spray you could use, I think that would be a great idea. I love peppermint tea, really strong.

Thank you for reading my journal. Yes, I too work on being 100% Veg but am comfortable with the progress I'm making also. Portland has a great number of Veg and Veg friendly restaurants, ie Whole Foods, New Seasons, etc. What a blessing.

That's the nice thing about retirement. Having the time for yourself, without answering to anyone. Both of my parents are in their 70's, and they love to travel. One direction to see my 92 year old grandmother, and another direction to see my brother and their kids. They love the benefits in that
