friends

I lay in bed last night apologising to my body, thanking it for all the amazing stuff it does for me in spite of what I do, and asking if it would please keep functioning.
It's a blessing and a curse to have a daughter who loves baking. Last night she insisted I had two of her latest creation - plates of warm cookie dough, crammed with chocolate and vegetarian marshmallows. I can just about bring myself to say they were delicious, which they were, but just even thinking about them has me feeling incredibly ill. I haven't asked how much sugar was in them. I know from the tidying up of the kitchen that they involved a whole block of butter. It seems almost irrelevant that I know they must have contained wholemeal flour as we're out of white flour.
So this morning's burning issue is what to have for breakfast as I feel I should not consume anymore sugar for at least a week so my body can recover. There's some purple headed brocolli left over from tea last night but I can't bring myself to have that. I'd usually enjoy a glass of fruit juice but I know that's high in sugar. Everything - cereal, bread, croissants, fruit - all have sugar in them. I may just have water and see how I feel when I get back from work.

Facebook also currently feels a blessing and a curse - sometimes I get upset by it, but I've recently discovered God, who makes me smile. Reminding me of Bruce Almighty, for that overwhelming sense of responsibility, this facebook poster received messages that are kindly responded to. Describing themselves as a comedian, there is funny stuff there, but what drew me to it was a post I initially shared a few days back that reminds everyone reading how beautiful they are. I want to wait a day or two more before sharing today's delight (don't want to overdo it, do I?!) - actually sod it, I'll post it anyway.

Maybe you can see it from here? Or maybe you should be my friend on facebook and then you'll know what I'm on about?! All fb friend requests considered when accompanied by a message :) Indeed, the person who introduced me to God on fb is someone I've never met in real life - she went to a Rob Bell gig that I did and saw my comment after and befriended me.

Friends are fab :D
