But they got home safe and sound and filled with amazing memories. We had lunch with Em and she shared some of her adventures with us. We could almost see the cities that she discribed. Luke has been to several so it was great for him to see them again through Em's eyes. We ate at a Greek restaurant. One of the women from the tour was born in Greece. She said that "Athens," the Greek restaurant down the block from our home is the best in Indy. I had a delicious lentil soup and humus with pita bread. So yummy.
O.K. I was doing so well on my diet. Just to remind myself and any readers, I read an article by Ethnath Eswaran, one of my favorite spiritual writers. He talked about the inner voices that encourage us to stay in usual bad habits OR to form new, more beneficial habits. I decided to call my negative, unhelpful voices--impskies and my good, helpful voices--devi-angels. On Thursday, the impskies said eat Pide's (little Turkish pizzas) when the Bloomington family goes out for Turkish. Don't bother with the low fat chicken dish. And while I was at it, I ate other yummy, bad for my diet, carbs. I continued on this downward trend on friday, and saturday. I'm not weighing myself. There wouldn't be anything to be proud of. I can only say that tomorrow; I hope to listen for the quiet voice of the devi-angels, and to eat accordingly.
MKate ate dinner at our place. We decided not to eat out. It was delicious and not to fattening. I love winter squash with coconut butter, and we had that with fish in cream sauce and home made apple sauce.
It was movie night. We rode to the theatre in MKates amazing new van. It has all kinds of magic inside and drives so smoothly. We felt like royalty.
We saw, "Where The Wild Things Are, " an adaptation for adults from the Maurice Sendak book of the same name. It was so amazing. A deep look at the feelings that people have that make them angry and destructive. And love wins in the end--among the wild things and among the people.
