Mental Slide Show


 Today’s item of my dreams is the high back vinyl kitchen chair of the 1970s.  The ones that my family had were all green.  It’s possible that my mother may have reupholstered them with new vinyl.  I’m not sure.  #whymustibeweird

I just remembered that one time as a child I replaced the worn out and torn webbing strips on a lawn chair.  My parents had purchased new webbing strips and I just felt like doing this because I wanted the chair to look nice and be usable again.

North Pole Smoking Controversy

I found myself recalling that the Santa Claus of years gone by smoked a pipe.  It was even described in the book,  Twas The Night Before Christmas.   “The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth.  And the smoke it encircled his head like wreath.”   It’s amazing how times can change.  Nowadays, a smoking Santa would never be part of a children’s book.  I don’t know if any other human beings in history have ever had the experience of seeing the world change so much, and in so many ways, over a few decades of their lives.  I doubt it.  What a pivotal time in human history have those of us living now found ourselves born into.

Nutrition & Diet

 If my diet and eating choices are to blame for my heart issue, I am still in denial.  I haven’t changed anything.  Thinking about this, I realize that my cardiologist never said one word to me about food or my diet or making any changes.  I am wondering if she places more weight on the genetic component of these things as opposed to environmental factors.  I don’t know.  Thinking back on it, though, I find it a little odd that food and diet were never mentioned even when I returned for my follow up appointment.
