Gut Feelings - The Second Brain
by Xanthippe ini came across a link on the bbc site this morning to an article in scientific american on gut health claiming that one reason we need to keep our guts healthy with probiotics, a good diet and reducing antibiotics is because there are neurons in our gut that are part of the process to create dopamine and serotonin for the brain.
yes happy hormones and neurotransmitters!
amazing article.. 'the enteric nervous system is often referred to as our body’s second brain.

The restaurant at the end of the universe
by Xanthippe ini sat outside at a cafe with my cappuccino for the first time today.
the sky was blue, the birds were singing, i could hear a woodpecker in the tall trees.
i closed my eyes and felt the sun on my face for the first time in months and i thought, i could sit here until the end of time.

Date of the memorial please.
by Xanthippe inmy non-jw cousin says my sister and her husband are visiting her more often.
my sister even put her arms around her the other day and said she loved her.
i would like to think it's because my cousin lost her husband last march and her daughter has terminal cancer but i think they might be love bombing and working up to a memorial invitation.
