let’s go nuts
Thalia crushes salted cashews with her mouth closed and hums a memory. “Hm — hm —hm — hm-hm-hm-hmmmmmm; hmmm-hm-”
Nia sits as still as a marble statue. “Sometimes you don’t.”
“We ingested enough salt at last night’s dinner… to last an entire week. How about…”Cal nudges a bowled bunch toward Tal, “… a grape?”
The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.

Notes from Loveletterist:
I enjoyed dinner out last night.
I went all in with a chicken, bacon, jalepeño, saucy panini and fries.
Something like that is an occasional treat.
Before I went to bed, my body was kinda growling at my choices.
I shrugged and told it to chill out.
We can have a little fun sometimes.
Which reminds me of a conversation I'm in over on LinkedIn. A meme about healthcare/big Pharma infers the systems are designed to keep us sick for profit's sake.
hmmmm...
There was a time when I would have been in agreement like white on rice.
After experiencing cancer, my perspective has shifted tremendously from one of suspicious judgement to, "How might I play a role in making systems better?"
I have much gratitude for the scientists, manufacturers, doctors, and nurses who worked to save my life.
I asked the meme's poster what responsibility we have as consumers to make lifestyle choices that might help us from such dependence on pharmaceuticals. I'm waiting for a response.
And... in one more 'I changed my mind' -- I might start dropping more links (breadcrumbs) into our love letters. I hope sharing resources enhances your experience with the muses. You are smart and motivated group of learners. I suspect if you have time for them, the breadcrumbs will be tasty.
