The question of the day: May I touch you?
The answer today is: no, you may not. But unfortunately, you probably won't bother asking anyway. Sounds like a bad date, right? Wrong. This is a regular occurence for me. People touch me. People I don't know at all, and people I've known forever. In public places, in private gatherings. They just feel the need to touch me without provocation. If they would just ask that simple question, so many negative experiences could be averted.

Chronic in the Kitchen: Soup IS good food!
When the weather turns chilly, or I'm just feeling a little off, I crave soup - to me, it's the ultimate in comfort food. From simple broths to luxurious bisques, soup is easier than you might expect to make from scratch. It's something I turn to often when I want something warm and nourishing in my belly, but I'm short on time and energy. This black bean soup is a favorite. I can put it together in about an hour using items I keep on hand in the pantry and fridge, and it's filled with all sorts of healthy ingredients. The star ingredient, of course, are the black beans.

Come on, get happy! Read this book!
I have to admit, I hesitated to bring this book home from the store. From the outside, Chronically Happy: Joyful Living In Spite of Chronic Illness by Lori Hartwell--cover complete with silly happy face--was just not all that appealing. But this is actually an excellent book, full of helpful advice, fresh perspectives, and anecdotal examples of ways to improve your life even if you have a chronic illness.
