Thanks and the buzz might be true

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. I needed them. It's amazing how a few nice words can boost your mood and attitude. I'm climbing back on the wagon, buckling down on my points. I'm trying to make life changes and break habits at age 40, that's not going to come easy. One step at a time, right?

Meanwhile, did you read my story about honey in Friday's My Clay Sun? I have to say I'm totally amazed at honey bees and how they function and all the good they do for our environment. I never realized. I also got to enter a hive compound with more 80,000 bees buzzing all around me. It was pretty tame, actually. They gave me an safari hat net thing for my head - very attractive - and then squirted me with smoke so the bees wouldn't smell me and get upset. Our Clay County bee keepers swear by honey as a way to treat allergies and hayfever. I have had horrible life-long allergy problems. Once I had a sinus infection spread to my brain and I got meningitis. I've had 3 sinus surgeries and take a bunch of Rx meds but still get infections often.  So I've been eating honey at least once a day for three weeks now and I'll be darned if I haven't had a sniffle or sinus headache since. I put honey on my shredded wheat cereal, on grapefruit or in my tea. One teaspoon is one point in Weight Watchers.

The buzz just might be true.
