Rambling Through

I visited my acupuncturist last Saturday and she, basically, cleared up my cold. Now, I know better than to claim that acupuncture is a "miracle", although it has seemed that way at times. I have found that it helps minimize the duration of illnesses and strengthens my immune system. Today the cold has made it's way to the chest, which means it will (if the pattern holds true) leave me soon.
It's always a good reminder to me-plenty of sleep, avoid excessive amounts of sugar (I'm detoxing today-detox was supposed to start yesterday, but I gave in to some so-so sugar cookies), exercise, and patience with self.

This is a complete jump in topic...I have been wondering, as I have in the past, where my life mate and I would be if we hadn't purchased a home when we did. Would I still be working the job I have? Would I have completed the massage program at school? Would we still reside in our current geographic location? Would I have nurtured my creative side more? During times of financial struggle, I have blamed our mortgage on my lack of creative energy. Being Stuck. Worrying about the dollar amount. As I put that in words in front of my face I realize that it might create added stress, but it's always ME who allows these obstacles.
Still...sometimes I wish we just didn't have the responsibility, that we could get out of a lease and move somewhere else.
Then I remember how I really love where I'm at. Why do I think about moving????
