Seemed like a sliver more energy today. Still slept and rested, but also did morning rituals, went for a walk, ran some errands, visited with my friend P, fixed and ate meals, and did my 3rd chakra exercises later in the day. I read some, researched some (about digestion and monodiets--my digestion seems fairly normalized right now, but had a rather large movement today that was slightly impacted despite the softness of my current diet and recently more regular movements). Anyway, I'm feeling a bit more energized--cooler weather helps, I think.

One monodiet that I found is like a vegetable stew with chopped vegetables, mung beans and rice. Sounds delicious! It's detailed in the Food as Medicine book and is used to help restore a digestive system that has been damaged or compromised. Or I could keep with my fruit/dairy (also monodiet) and bridge in things like the vegetable stew--see what happens, if anything. I know I'm starting to "lust" after different foods beyond my narrow fruit/dairy selections.

I also know that I need to get my digestive system back on track so I'm not a "prisoner" of my diet. Otherwise, I might as well chain myself to the refrigerator (or "icebox" as we used to call them in the South).

Speaking of the South--I got a call from my friend in Memphis who had a stroke. He's moved to Mississippi and is staying with his daughter. His twin brother, who had a heart attack late last year, is recovering and doing well. It was good to hear from him and to learn that they are doing well.

I went to bed a bit early last night and got up earlier this morning. I think I want to keep doing that and not lay abed into the late morning time. So, time to recline into the dreaming world!
