Courtside notes

Fernando Verdasco

Here's a free mental health diagnosis. Try a new sport. If you hear yourself saying "doh. stupid" "s#^t" "darn it." "what the heck was that!?" and any other variety that isn't encouraging, supportive, understanding, and sympathetic, then maybe it's time for some thought re-routing. 

Like "nice one," "close," "wow getting better," "tough one, but I almost got it!"

Since we create our reality with our thoughts, we might as well be positive. Plus, chances are we're either projecting or verbalizing those same thoughts about others, and let's just hope it's not our children...

I've taken up tennis. Well...it's been a few years now, but this year it's staying in the court. yeah! nice one. good attitude.

Life without shampoo

self portraits = self indulgence

So...not sure if you've heard, but shampoo is taboo. Chemicals galore, long term side effects, unnecessary expenses, who needs it? For years I've used Davines a la this pretty lady. I sometimes switched it up with Crede ER and Nigelle ER shampoo, but still my scalp suffered with itchiness and my hair: lack luster. 

Well I have no success story for you.

I can only tell you that despite 4+ days of not bathing and a sweatastic yoga class, I still haven't shampooed. The No More Dirty Looks story really got me thinking...maybe shampoo is one of those things where natural is not only cheaper (I was spending $25-30 per bottle), but better!? So my locks are currently saturated with apple cider vinegar and going to stay that way. Luckily there is no one around for the next few days to smell me. We shall see, let me know.

Sweet Peas

He bought me a bouquet of sweet peas, "they were Grandpa's favorite."

The next day, his cancer was back.

Everything ia about to fall apart all of the time. 

We take it for granted that it won't. When it does, we act shocked and betrayed, but in reality, the blink of an eye can turn friends into enemies, white into stain, security into crisis, faith into disillusion. And the other way 'round.
