Celebrating Martin Luther King

It's Martin Luther King day. I wonder how many people really give any thought to what the day is about. As a native of Memphis who grew up in the 60's I have vivid memories of the time and the man. I remember the marches, the riots, the speeches and ultimately his assassination at the Lorraine Motel in downtown Memphis.

His legacy has affected all of us. He left us with many memorable words. Take a few minutes today to remember a few of them.

Off to the Health Food Store

I am making my list for a visit to the health food store. I never thought I would use supplements and vitamins but I am a convert. I learned how important they can be after my weight loss surgery. I can tell a huge difference in how I feel when I don't have my B vitamins. I also think that the joint supplement is helping with my knee. If it keeps me from having a replacement like my father I will be glad to take them.
