Coffee Chat Blog

T was telling me about a program relating artificial sweetners to strokes and heart attacks, particularly in women. What good news.  So I cut down (not out) on sweetners and guess what I drank less of?? Yes coffee.  It's not the coffee I'm craving it is the artificial sweetness that I pour into it!  Here I thought I was a caffeine addict and it was sugar (even though it was fake sugar) all the time.

I really understand 'craving' the best when it comes to sugar and flour.  Once I start eating those substances I just want more and more. I NEVER have that feeling of craving when I'm eating lettuce and tomatoes, i.e. real food.

In conversation with a friend about someone she has a problem with, and her concern that we don't both agree he is a jerk. Given my background I see people as good AND bad, we all have our problems. Although sometimes its been a close call about whether or not the bad outweighs the good, so far everyone has passed muster. Part of my acceptance in others is based on acceptance of me. I am certainly flawed, and recognizing that, how can I be critical of people just because their of their flaws? Tolerance allows us to co-exist, if not in peace, and least not with guns pointed at each other.

There is some sick stuff on tv these days.  I of course only know that because I watch it. Wow, Mom and Dad would have a heart attack.  My time would be more productively spent reading One Day at a Time or in Meditation, but I wouldn't want to miss out on anything.  I am watching Hannibal and apologize in advance if anyone likes it.  I am only watching it because it was recommended to me and I felt like I needed to be able to say I watched it and didn't care for it.  That would be the truth. I saw the movie.  That was bad enough
