Wholesome week

Time to hit the refresh button.
This is my favourite tool:

You can actually eat on this cleanse. Fruit smoothies, gazpacho, salads... Healthy stuff to stave off hunger and nourish while the Native American herbs in the cleansing pills draw out toxins from the organs. I find it also detoxes buried emotions and negative stuff that is usually medicated by caffeine, alcohol, vitamins, etc.
Good activities while detoxing:
Knitting (good zen practice to try to master a tunic sweater when I've only ever knit a scarf 5 years ago)
Reading- e2 a hilarious book about the ad biz. biography of Nancy Mitford, so very inspiring, what is it about English life in the 1880-1920's that is so enthralling. also started a book by JP Donleavy called Fairy Tale of NY (what kind of fairy tale starts with a guy finding a funeral home for his dead wife?)
Fighting with real estate agent about getting keys to new apartment in Brooklyn. Corcoran bad.
Setting up lunches and drinks for next week
Reading about careers as a foreign service officer. Ambassador sounds quite lovely.

Magic!

The key to a successful union?

I love airports. Yesterday I witnessed what I think was a first-time coffee date between a techie and his mail order Asian bride. She giggled nervously at his corny jokes one of which involved jelly beans and hitler. Then I realised she didn't understand a word he was saying. Which makes me think that they might actually be quite happy together.

I found this touching...

I've never been a big John Lennon fan but this humanized him for me... more so than "Imagine" etc.
