MId-week: Day 344

I'm watching a re-run of Alice Waters on Bill Maher right now. I wish I could be so wonderful. But come on...She wants to feed every child every morning, lunch and afternoon snack for free. Awesome. So do I, but how does that work? She's a nice lady but come on...She is anti-micro-wave oven. Alice, we would have to completely change how business is done in America. That's not going to work unless there is some big economic shift.

O.K, so if you have read any of my past posts you know that I am super healthy except for the weight problem. The weight problem is a result of the fact that I have a job that requires me to sit in my chair all day and work on my computer and get no physical exericse. The up side of my job is that I get a lot of information about health all the time. I am not dismissing the weight thing but I have to consider the whole of my life and what that means. For the past 24 years I have been happily married. I have two beautiful, smart and on their way to being very successful young daughters. I don't have much to complain about. But I planned it this way. I had a very hectic, very emotionally weird childhood, that resulted in me being hyper vigilent about anything effecting my adult life.

I had a conversation with a woman who I have known for about 23 or maybe 24 years about this today. I met Linda when I was 22 years old. A year younger than my oldest daughter is now.

I like Linda. In 23 year or 24 years I have never known her to be anything but hard-working and completely competent. She is the kind of person that does not cause stress, but rather relieves it. She's a good person. I believe that is the highest compliment one person can give to another person. I think we all have a responsibility to be competent and hard working at our respecitve jobs. When we are not we cause stress and consequently poor health outcomes in other people. I don't care if there is karmic pay off or not. If you want to lead a good life, try and be a good person.
