Good Habit #2--Hydrate

I can't say it enough:
Drink up!
There may be conflicting reports on the 64-ounces of water per day "requirement," namely that other beverages can count toward the total. I'll also say that sometimes "only" two-quarts is woefully inadequate. Here in the desert, with very little exertion, a gallon may not do it in any given day. Don't make me have to explain myself as, well, let's just say I was stupid. And lucky to be alive.
Yup, that pretty much sums it up!

Good Habit #1--Floss!

Here's a simple truth--one of the easiest ways to take care of yourself starts with good dental health! We come from a long line of family members with teeth issues. It's hard to know whether it's genetics or environment that is the prime offender, but either way, oral hygiene will go a long way to supporting good general health.
Floss, at least once a day. Brush your teeth after flossing.
Yup, simple.

Another Blog?

Like the world needs a new blog?
This one has been incubating for a very long time. Very.
I decided to put this one into action because my daughter is moving, literally, into a new phase of her life. Her own apartment. And she's terrified.
(I think her brother can't wait as he'll get her old room. Can you say, "spacious?" I know you can).
As my mother did before me, it's always been easier to "just do it" myself. So, I may not have quite prepared her for living on her own. This will be more than that--part instruction, part rule book, part manifesto with a big smathering of love. I hope. And I'm still working on a cookbook, which perhaps will materialize as I gather family recipes so she can make her favorites.
This is, mostly, "how" I "do" stuff and in small measure, "why."
