Up until now I’ve eaten whatever I want, whenever I want, at any time of the day (or night).  I’ve dranken and smoked as much as I wanted.  While I’ve had a blast, and somehow managed to stay in good health, it has also come at a price.   Part of which is that I’ve accumulated years of repressing emotions and anxieties instead of dealing with them.

I gave up drinking and smoking (it’s been about 6 weeks now) and am learning how to cook more dishes because if I eat much more red lentil soup, I’m going to turn into a lentil bean!  :)

I’m counting this foray into better health as a Yes Man experience, because when you give up old crutches like booze and smoking, you have to learn new ways to deal with things.  I’m finding that this is true for me, and in a sense it’s making everything feel like a “I’m saying yes to life” experience.  I’m looking forward to posting more frequently now that I have this new motivation.

Technical update. I want to thank everyone for their emails up until now.  I hadn’t realized how many people were reading the site!  That was surprising, to say the least.  Also though, I’ve managed to catch about a zillion spammer comments and so in an effort to clean that up, I’ve removed all comments from all pages, including the good ones.

I hope you’ll all continue to share your stories and comments with me, once I figure out how to add the captcha human verification thingy.   Have a great day and say YES to life!
