City Energy, Self Care, Art, and Dessert

July  31, 2017

I took the day off and drove an hour south of my small city for some big-city energy.

First, I pursued some self care with a hair cut.  My hair isn't super thick,  but it felt incredibly heavy after a longer period than usual between cuts.  Ahhh.  It feels great now.

After that, art, art, art!  I have a membership at the art museum in that city, and there were four new exhibits.   I took many notes and found so much inspiration for my own art and writing.   This was a feeding of my soul and intellect.

Lunch was in the art museum's cafe.   Portabella mushroom sandwich and a side salad with strawberry vinaigrette dressing.  Healthy and yummy. 

I took a more-scenic route back to my small city.  The drive both ways opened my mind as car rides often do. 

Finally,  I had sliced tomatoes for dinner tonight and a slice of strawberry  cake.  I had ice cream earlier.   I have not indulged in sweets as much lately, and I'm finding these very rich.  After today, and the reason for this indulgence, I plan at least a 30-day fast from desserts.  I've done this before,  between Thanksgiving and Christmas in 2012.  I might go longer.  It's time I deal with my sugar issue.
