Hi John,
Thank you for the reminder about natures whole foods. It is something so easy to forget or put aside as we are bombarded from morning to night with processed food....which can taste so good.

like those "terrible for me doughnuts" mentioned in my post...

I would love to enjoy your level of health. That reminds me, I don't know if you have seen this, but Rod has a thread in the Urantia Book Study Forum called "UB Cookin" that is all about healthy whole food." (you must click on the sub forum entitled Urantia Book forum.) Most all the recipes he posts are whole and healthy and come from his own experience.
Yes, much has changed for me/us in the past two years since George passed. But I keep reminding myself that he isn't gone...not really. If I know George, he is very busy and joining as many groups as is "Morontialy" possible. LOL ( I just read a transmit this morning about such things...) it makes me smile to think of him healthy, happy and active.
The news is something that can knock me on my backside where kindness is concerned. I like the idea of taking a moment or two...(maybe 5 in my case) and think through a loving response or action. It is so easy to rush headlong through life and move much too quickly from what could amount to a lesson that could benefit us throughout all eternity...and we missed it early on because we had too much on our plate to take a few extra moments...But such is life in these modern times...we are pulled in many directions at the same time...maybe little by little we can work on these things if it seems overwhelming or unobtainable at this moment.
As always it is lovely to "hear" your voice on the boards, John.

I am counting on your return when you can.
