Junk mail

So I get a fair amount of junk mail, mostly from really natural medicine/nutrition/yoga whatever kind of not-so-radical non-mainstream health guru specialists I may have been willing to give my email address.  
Last week I got an email telling me to eat lots of turnips and meat.  Beans in moderation.

There is nothing moderate about the amount of beans, particularly lentils, I consume in a given week.  (Fun fact: I played the opening word in a scrabble game this evening; it was "lentil").  

A homeopathic specialist who has my email address (Fun fact: some people believe that cuttlefish oil diluted 200 times can fix health problems) sent me a holiday (read: Christmas) email.  It said, "May your daily choices reflect who you are".

This was actually something I deeply needed to hear.  I have strong opinions about how I should live my life, but I am almost always sidetracked by exceptions that become the rule.  Yes rotting in front of the computer is bad but right now I'm just really bored, etc.  

Sometimes things just hit you.

yes, sometimes things just hit you.

the trick is to not be standing on the freeway when this happens.
