When it comes to losing weight, diet pills certainly ‘flash’ across the mind.  I mean, why do all that work of watching what you eat, when you eat, drinking lots of fluids and exercising til your butt falls off when you could simply park your butt on the couch and pop some pills.  Hmm…which sounds easier?  If only it was so simple.  But, it just reminds me of the saying, nothing good comes easy, and I’ve had enough instances in my life where that has held true so I won’t fool myself into thinking that I could lose weight simply by popping a pill…a girl can still dream though…

I, personally, have not ever any type of a ‘cleanse’ or an orovo detox either for that matter.  I know of people who have done these types of things, and felt much better afterwards, but it’s something that just has never really factored into my consciousness.  Now and then when I hear about it on TV or over hear someone talking about the latest cleanse they did and how great they felt, I wonder what it would be like to do something like that.  But, just as quickly as the thought enters my mind, it exits.  I like food and I don’t like to put strict limitations on what I can/cannot eat.  Yes, I moderate my food intake, but if I’m told I can’t have something, well, good ‘ol human nature kicks in, and I want it twice as badly as I ever did.  Maybe one day I will try some sort of cleanse, if I got to feeling too ‘toxic’ or something like that…

Well, not that there are aren’t any drugs in my house, just no illegal drugs I guess you could say.  When I think of it, I can not say I have known a person who has received any sort of drug treatment either.  I am thankful that I’ve not had to experience the ravages of drugs first hand as it can be a rather awful thing to have to endure.  There could have been people I was associated with that were involved with drugs or had even been to drug rehab but I was not aware of it because they either hid it so well that it had become a part of their daily life or had fully recovered to the point that you’d never know there was a problem in the first place.  I think it’s pretty safe to say there are many, many people out there who so desperately need help to escape the ravages of drugs, but will never find their way because they just can’t see beyond it.  It is quite sad how one’s existence can be ruined by something that may at first seem so harmless but in the end it could end up taking one’s life.

I am glad that I don’t live in the Texas area right now and it’s probably a safe bet there are a lot of people searing for Dallas jobs at present thanks to the damage caused by the hurricane.  If I lived in a hurricane ravaged area and my home was wiped out by a devastating storm, I am not so sure I’d be too willing to rebuild in the exact same spot and would more than likely be looking to move.  I couldn’t imagine losing everything, rebuilding it all and then having it wiped out all over again, that would have to do a lot to a person’s will.  I am thankful I live where I do and the area I am in is not currently prone to any natural disasters.  That said, nowhere is totally safe anymore I suppose, with all the ‘freak’ occurrences there seem to be that are weather related that had never happened before and may never happen again.  Hmm…I think I will go enjoy the sunshine on that note.
