Positive things

Daughter asked (for the first time) me to pick her up this weekend, when it would normally be an off weekend for us. I was happy to do so. She gave some excuse about gardening or planting stuff for her room but so far has shown no interest in those things this weekend. Not sure what the truth is. She has not been forthcoming. I'm not pushing. In her own time. I did ask but got a non-answer. 

I took her to her very first political rally yesterday. It was for Bernie Sanders. In truth it was rather lame and disorganized. People standing by the road along Central at UNM, cheering for Bernie. However, she loved it. She wants to go to more. 

Bernie lost the caucus in Nevada. However, not by much. There have been a LOT of issues being reported regarding that caucus. Lines too long, working people being left out because of the time involved. Bad organization. Blatant misconduct by the Clinton campaign...

That's okay. Bernie is in nearly the same position Obama was in when he ran against Clinton. The next few weeks will tell the tale. The reactions we got from drivers seems to tell a lot more than what has been primaries in mostly white and affluent states. 

I pointed out to a few people that we got negative hand signals from some drivers. While we were flashing peace signs, the detractors flashed what can only be described as hate signs. We had children present with us. Most of those flashing hate signs were white men driving planet-killers. Usually alone and looked like they haven't been likely to have been laid without paying for it in at least a decade. But with us showing peace signs and them flashing hate signs, what does that say about them and the candidates they support? The answer is obvious.

So, this week I have been using arrow root. Yesterday I received the slippery elm bark capsules. Only taken that one twice so far. This morning I took only the elm power to see how it works. The arrow root has had a surprisingly positive effect. My gut has felt better this week than a long, long time. I am hoping it improves more over time, as my intestines have a chance to heal. Not having any pain any more, just a vague pressure. My energy IS coming back. Not sure how much of that is my guts as opposed to changing weather, which is getting warmer. Either way, I am happy. There is no question more healing needs to happen at the cellular level. Give that time.

I am considering getting different straight powdered substances and some empty capsules, mixing the powders and making my own medication. Cheaper and maybe more effective than anything I have used alone so far.
