This is true not only in relationship to the truth but in relationship to everyday life as well.

I maintained ~130 lbs for over two years. Life circumstances (a surfacing schizoaffective disorder, and my subsequently moving back in with the parents) found me having gained it all back!; so it's back onto spark to tend to business!

And here I am, too, to comment that I just started drinking kombucha regularly this week, and I swear it's making me feel noticeably better. Do you make your own? It's so expensive to buy by the bottle, and I know kits are available - and once you have your scoby, it multiplies for additional use, yes? emoticon

I've added you as a friend, because you seem to be someone I would like to know better. We have both friends and interests (beads...oh, beads) in common, and possibly other as yet undiscovered things. emoticon
