Just Relax A Little

I finally took my own advice and just took some time off to relax.  It was so much fun getting away from the computer, writing, and all the stresses in life.  Sure, I love writing and doing the things I do, but with other worries that sneak upon me, it is just fun to let loose, kick the heels up, and relax a little.

Spending time down on the river front, I saw all kinds of people that were just enjoying a nice fall day in the sun, to those performing their given skill and talent for others to observe.  The many shops showcased various artwork from local artists that came in all sizes, shapes and flavors.  It was mix of the old historic area in with the new and all of if felt so peaceful.

A few months ago, I got to visit her restaurant "Lady And Sons" for the first time in Savannah GA which was a special treat for me.

I'm sad that Paula Deen is going through this rough time and I don't wish Type 2 Diabetes on anyone. I'm hoping that instead of just turning to the medication, Victoza,  that she searches out more natural methods of working with this disease. I do see she is working on changing her diet and adding exercise into it, but there are many other things that could offer
