Every couple of years I do this, this time hopefully for good.
We'll see, it's a slow process
Thanks on the painting. Art helps me decompress ....
Appreciate you

The things we'll do for our health.
I remember my dad would refuse to do the diet the doc wanted him to do. While it worked well enough for him, (he lived to 89 years old), I'm not that brave.

The funny thing is I thought I was pretty healthy
WRONG
I know what I have to do and am doing it
Hard though, it's a Sodium laced world ...

Hey Amigo
It is a sodium based world, I have learned a trick. Use limes and lemons instead of salt.
Just drizzle it over your food and it helps. Use the zest as well. I have a ton of cookbooks.
It is like another passion for me - cooking. But I have to be in the mood.
You know I love all of your paintings amigo:)
Another one of my favorite artists is Claude Monet. I love all of his stuff.
All of the small brushstrokes. Kinda sad he went blind though. (So yes take care of your health)
My favorite is Sunrise. But I am absolutely captivated by his panorama water lilies.

This painting is the finished version of the one before that you liked.
Have to get you a bigger shot....
Yeah, doing the detox now, had a physical, thought I was in good shape but gotta tweak a few things. I never put salt on my food, it's just in a lot of stuff. I bought lemon today actually. I'll be ok ...
Thx so much A

Yes, I like Monet too
I need to experiment more in pure Watercolor. Used to do more of it and then morphed over to gouache. Often I combine the two. As you work in a museum and are surrounded by art daily, your appreciation of mine is extra special. I have a ton of my paintings and digital work on Instagram. Do you ever go on there ? I know you're not much into social media which I admire. I'm not either. I just use it to showcase my art.

No, unfortunately this is the only place you will find me.
Not sure if I want to go into that place. Just had a few family
members get stalked with social media. Turned real ugly fast.
But that was years ago. Maybe I should warm up to it. I'm not really tech savvy. But I am very interested in digital art. Seriously thinking about looking into further. I did notice that you combined impressionism with your art. Too cool!!!

Dear PS,
Sorry reality took a bite. I know the feeling and it really stinks. I’m glad you’re getting things under control and making the necessary modifications. As sheriff on this site we need you fit and ready to keep things from getting sloppy.
Great art. Big Dig! H🌷

Dear H
Just when I perfected which bourbon were my favorite after several years of extensive sampling, I am now on the wagon .... Blood pressure and other health issues are prompting the shutdown on alcohol and caffeine use. Bummer, right ? Well here's the upside, I sleep much better and my money now goes on antioxidant herbal teas at a fraction of the cost. Hibiscus lowers blood pressure almost instantly. Green tea also a plus but Hibiscus does A LOT for the body. If you take blood pressure medication as I do, you have to make sure the tea doesn't lower your pressure too much.
I'm also exercising more and feeling good effects from that. This old dog ain't done yet. Still testy and pissed off at times in this toxic wasteland poetry site but I keep coming back as poet and cop. Hey somebody has to do the dirty work ....
Hope all is well on your side H
Appreciate your comment ❤

Re. Detoxing .... Again
Only thing Im having issues with is the no alcohol. ~shrugs~ I worked out 4x a week, eat extremely healthy, probios, tons of water and everything, I have knocked it down to 3 days/nights a week instead of every day. No liquor either. Just beer/seltzers. Sleep is definitely better when not intoxicated. Baby steps for me I guess. Love you PS and hope you do well with your healthy life style! <3

I expect at some point I'll drink here and there but for now I'm not even missing it. Some serious health issues existed in my parents lives and I'm trying to prevent that fate myself. My physical a few weeks ago revealed some borderline issues and the best way for me to tackle things is head on. I'm good at denial until I go to the other side of excess. Soon I'll be drinking my hibiscus tea and later on my decaf green tea. I do probiotics. I do strength training 3 times a week and I'm working on doing better at cardio. Will be walking soon in the freezing weather. I've walked my entire life. It's quite a story. Haven't owned a car in decades and don't miss it.
I'm not young but I still look pretty good for my geezer years.
If I can make art and be healthy and laugh, I'm good to go ...
Salute your efforts as well
I Appreciate your love
Back at you
Thx m

It’s interesting that when we abstain from certain things not only does our body begin to react but our minds have an effect too. The colors on this is amazing.
