I’ve been absent in so many ways for far too long this winter.
A confirmed Fibromyalgia diagnosis has me questioning so many aspects of my life.
Aside from the syndrome that has been with me my whole life I now am crashing into the aging process.
I believe this list would benefit any person:
Positive Thoughts
Stress Reduction
Exercise
Nutrition
Sleep
Water
This list is not meant to be considered in order of importance as all aspects are related and are equally crucial to well being.
Wouldn’t you think that taking care of ourselves would be the easiest part of living? Why is it so difficult for us to acknowledge the importance of sustaining and nurturing ourselves?
Why is it easier to down a soda instead of a glass of water?
Why do we accept treating ourselves badly in so many ways?
I don’t have answers, just a day by day thought-filled awareness of walking the proper path one step after another. It is a lifestyle change that encompasses every choice.

Not Your Mama’s Recipe!
I have reworked the original recipe that called for 2 cups of sugar. Make these with the best quality ingredients. This recipe contains Peanut Butter.
In a heavy bottomed sauce pan combine and stir together:
1 cup sugar (Update – I am currently using less than 2/3 cup of sugar)
Pinch of salt
3 Tbls. butter
1/2 cup milk
Bring to a boil and cook a minute or so then add:
1 oz. chocolate
1/2 cup Peanut butter
Stir as the chocolate and peanut butter melts.
Bring back to a boil then turn off the heat and add:
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups Oatmeal flakes
Stir in quickly until the Oatmeal is fully coated. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and cool. Very hot! Think molten lava! Let them cool and set. Makes 2 dozen.

I have altered this photo to try and enhance the prints in the snow.
You can see that this trail is used by different animals over different periods of time.
