hi, i just got home from my vacation today and i go back to work Monday. The Berkshires were fabulous, I was surrounded by mountains and had a view of the most beautiful lake. In the morning there was big puffs of fog rising up off the mountain tops and the air was soooooo clean smelling. I went for nature walks, i walked the labyrinth every day, i learned a lot about healthy foods and why they are good for us, i participated in a drumming circle, and i ate some really good food!
I left there on Thursday and went to Albany N.Y. for two days to visit my best friend who had a baby about six months ago. She said i could be auntie Donna whoo hoo i am an auntie! The baby was soooo cute she has red hair and the best smile ever. I will have to visit more often.
I got back today and i go back to work Monday. back to the real world, i don't want to can't i live in my vacation world forever? well i guess if i stayed there forever it wouldn't be much of a vacation would it. so back to the real world i go like it or not.

the berkshires ( don't know how to spell it )
hi all,
in about a week i will be going to a retreat/spa in the Berkshires!!! i went last august and loved it !!! i can't wait to go back. it was just so calming waking up and seeing the fog rise up out of the mountains. oh, yea did i mention that this place is surrounded by mountains! the food is so yummy and it is all organic and mostly vegetarian...... there's a tea bar..... i can't wait to walk the labyrinth....
There will be a lot of self reflection going on witch i think i need right now. They have lots of interesting workshops and movement classes. It is the best place to sit and knit, oh yea, there will be knitting.
I am going for three nights. Last year i went for two nights and it didn't seem to be long enough, however i think four nights would be too long for me. I had such a good time last year that i hope this year can live up to my expectations.

FOOD
Yes i am talking about food again. We all know about the bad for us things that are put in food now a days? Trans-fat ( bad for you ) preservatives ( bad for you ) and let's not forget sodium ( very bad for you ) of course i try to stay away from these things but it is hard especially since i don't like to eat tree bark lol.
There has been a lot of talk about how high fructose corn syrup is really bad for you. did you know that it actually makes you grave more sugary foods and research has suggested that it can affect the brain development of children!
The other night while eating dinner with my family i said " i wonder how hard it would be to eliminate high fructose corn syrup from my diet" my mom said " oh, that should be too hard to do " I took a look at the ingredients of the food in my house. Well half of the food in my house contains it. I went to the super market and looked at labels and this stuff seems to be in everything! If it is soooo bad for you why is it in everything? now of course i could shop at a whole foods market and pay double the price for my groceries but my retired mother and I can't really afford to do that. I am still going to try and cut back on my intake of high fructose corn syrup. I will let you know how that goes.
