It is so good that your to do list is always full. Your words reminded me that since my husband died my to do list is pretty empty. I think I will have to try to work on making more of a to do list. In a way it is a good feeling having a full list and having almost to much to do.

As to taking care of myself, I am recovering from a wisdom tooth extraction on Friday, so I am resting a lot, taking antibiotics and eating smoothies. I will make a banana, blueberry, peanut butter smoothie with almond milk and some yogurt. x

Agora1 in reply to b1b1b1

Hi b1, I'm sorry to hear about your going through the healing process of

a tooth extraction but the cold drinks we can have are somehow the positive

side of it. The smoothie sounds good. Heal Well, Heal Soon :) xx

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to b1b1b1

awww sorry I just saw your message 😅 I am hoping the smoothies help your healing process body mind and soul. I’ve had extractions so I get the pain that comes with it.

P.s. I wish we could make smoothies together, yours sound delicious

yoga. She burned some palo santo at the end which was so nice. If you aren’t familiar it is a wood and I’m totally into it. Shortly heading to a clay class to get my hands dirty.
