The power of a smile
I was sent an extract from this article by one of the mailing lists I am on.

"Motto had a patient who committed suicide from the Golden Gate in 1963, but the jump that affected him most occurred in the seventies. �I went to this guy�s apartment afterward with the assistant medical examiner,� he told me. �The guy was in his thirties, lived alone, pretty bare apartment. He�d written a note and left it on his bureau. It said, �I�m going to walk to the bridge. If one person smiles at me on the way, I will not jump.�"

So smile at a stranger today. You never know the difference it might make.

Reading
Your Vegetarian Pregnancy
by Holly Roberts

I have been a little lazy with trying to avoid eating meat lately, which is silly, because I need to be healthy now more than ever. This book should help me feel better and grow a healthy little bean!

Watching

Nothing - trying now to cut down on the amount of TV I watch
