Today's Pleasures

Seeing a beautiful goldfinch on my walk

Got a ton of free garden produce from a nearby church, including raspberries and blueberries

Yummy ice cream

Watching my daughter have a great time playing softball.  Her team took 2nd in the division.  She got a hit both of her at-bats and they won 9-2

Working in my garden with my daughters

Detox 

Redness in my eyes and mucous discharge from tear ducts in the morning

Gas all day

White coating on my tongue 

Swollen, dark under-eye circles in the morning  

Swollen joints, hands and feet (wheat)

Minor redness and bumpiness on forehead, nose, chin and upper chest

Stress level

Daily Thoughts 

Discussion of tooth health is really freaking me out.  Honestly, I try and try with my family's health and there's only so much I can do.  I guess I'm supposed to trust my Higher Power with it and do my best.  

My little guy almost got hit by a car today.  He's o.k.
