  Well, when I vowed last month during finals week to stick to healthy habits to minimize stress. . .well, I stuck to it! I ate fresh fruits and veggies in lieu of candy and packaged snacks and opted for soy-based fruit smoothies instead of sugar- and caffiene-loaded lattes. Wow for me.

And over break (which was way too short) I bought Raw, the "un-cook" book I've been eyeing for over a year, with the bookstore gift card from Diggerblue's dad, Mr. Steve (along with a bunch of breed books and fun reads). I may actually try some recipes soon.

So, in this spirit of healthy habits, I've dramatically cut back on my consumption of cookies. (No, I haven't moved to Bizarro World.) Fortunately, I don't have to give up my regular fortune-posting since I found a brand of herbal teas that includes a little proverb on each tea bag tag. So, the new weekly feature is now renamed

Tea Bag Wisdom

Spiritual expansion is found in the trust we have in each other.

So, I guess when we learn to trust someone, or when people worthy of our trust come into our lives, we experience a litte heaven on earth.

That's really nice.
