I thank you all in advance! Karin Bartsch. January 01 New Year's Resolution 2008.Here am I, looking forward to all the future happenings yet still hidden to me, at least partially, but eagerly awaited anyway. The older I get the more I feel that life is short, which means that I should take life in daily increments instead of looking 365 days ahead. Since I don't have to worry about relatives, jobs or how to invest money ( we are poor), I can concentrate on life itself, can act selfishly - together with my husband Dieter. We quit smoking 25 years ago, together and cold turkey, and since then I watch like a hawk over our health, studied privately the matter of healthy cooking, natural supplements, and avoiding junk food. You might have read in my blogs that Dieter's health is not a fixum and that his Immune System has to be carefully nourished and upheld. I have a monthly subscription to a newsletter of a holistic doctor to gain insights about what we as individuals can do to boost our health and to arm myself with basic knowledge to convince the doctor not to describe designer drugs for Dieter, which would ruin his Immune System. Instead he gets Bee Pollen, Raw Honey, Curcumin Complex capsules, an apple daily, home-baked bread, yogurt with live acidophilus cultures, fermented food ( like Sauerkraut) - and the list goes on. Nothing artificial, only the whole food, nothing pre-packed, no artificial sweeteners, no unhealthy fats, meals from scratch. Sounds boring? Not at all, you simply have to sit on my dinner table to understand.
I got carried away. What is my resolution, you ask? To keep Dieter healthy, to keep myself going, to be aware of a healthy environment, to fight weight gain, which is my lifelong fight, and stay connected to my friends, which I love - in the purest sense of the word. When I look at my friends list in Karin's Hide-out, I feel blessed but sad at the same time, because there is no physical connection, no hug, no little kiss. What do they really look like, what is their voice? Therefore I like real picture avatars, that helps already. I have my cellphone number displayed, don't hesitate to call me (Mountain Time -from 9 AM to 9 PM - at weekends, please) or send me e-mails. When I answer a question, I put my heart into it, and I am disappointed when there is no response, no thanks, no comments, but that is rare anyway.
A big outlook on 2008 is our resolve to travel again, go on the road again in March. I will blog that plan when time comes, and I will keep you posted about our plans and travel route.
Again, I wish you all a prosperous and healthy New Year! And please, think about the fact that you yourself are the master of your life - -of course, the hand of your life partner on that steering wheel of your life counts too, but that can be corrected a little. :)   Karin. |
