No hububaloo here.

Life really is good.

I think I may have to change the name of my blog to "Life is good".

I am seriously wondering if it gets any better than it has been this weekend. My family is all together, we are truly enjoying each others company, we are eating fantastic food (which is always a given at a family get together), and I am as relaxed as I have ever been in 20+ years if not longer.

Today I got up, made a bacon and egg breakfast for everyone to wake to the smell of. Had a relaxing breakfast and coffee with the family. Started laundry, did a few fun family chores (yes, some can be fun) and went up/down town for a massage. I have never had a massage as great as this one. Mind you it is only the third one I have ever had. It was fantastic. She hit all the spots I was hoping for ( I have learned, finally, that it helps when you tell them what you would like).

Instead of regaling you with pages of my past health history/problems, I will sum it up to: I carry a lot of tension and stress in my neck and shoulders. So much so that a few months ago I went to see a specialist because I was having a lot of light headedness and ringing in my ears. He diagnosed it as tension and so much tightness in my neck and shoulders that it was cutting off the circulation to my head. This was what was causing the dizziness and ringing in my ears. Scary shit.

I started seeing a homeopathic chiropractor who has done wonders for me. Since the beginning of August I have been working with him and my quality of life has been getting steadily better. I have decided it is now time to start working with a massage therapist to take it one step higher/further/better/whatever word you prefer.

She was awesome. So good I gave her 30% tip and booked another appt.

I then came straight home and had a bite to eat, drank about 24 ounces of water and had a nap. I went for a walk and then did some preview Christmas shopping with Craig for two hours. Came home, bbq'd steaks that have been marinating for about 32 hours and roasted baby red potatoes mixed with veggies and fried some mushrooms on the side. We topped it off with 2 bottles of red wine and a family movie.

I really don't know if it is the massage, my family, or the red wine, or the combination of all three or if there is even something more to it I am missing, but I cannot imagine my life getting any better than it is this evening.

It feels like it is Christmas without all the hassle and hububaloo.
