Prozac.........

the kids spring break is over, all back to school today. I love having the kids home, but i must say sometimes I so enjoy a day of "ME".
I've been hiking regularly again, and it feels so good...... Hiking isn't just a physical exercise for me, but it's a spiritual/soulful medicine for me too........ like natures "Prozac". Bill and I go every evening, rain or shine. Today is a beautiful day, so I am looking forward to it. finishing up the first of four weeks of my clensing/detoxing phase, must admit, I am feeling pretty good. had an appointment yesterday with my homopathic nutritionist. He was pleased with my progress. It's a long process, and i am just taking one step at a time....... but i must say this was a big step. Speaking of Prozac, doctors are so quick to order it now, sometimes too quick. Don't get me wrong, some people need it, But still too many people get put on it for every little trauma or road block in their lives. I remember years ago, when my first husband and father of my kids left me...... i was devastated, couldn't eat, sleep, ...it was such a painful experience. My doctor immediately wanted to put me on a medication like "Celexa". i took one pill, felt doped up for a day, and threw the rest down the toilet. I learned, that it was okay for me to feel the pain, and actually healthy for me to work thru it. which I ended up doing quite well. Actually i guess i can't take all the credit.... My faith in God sure carried me through that dark journey.. Now i find if I am absolutely going crazy, some "ME" time, up on the side of my little mountain... is medication enough.
