• Feeling Good

  
  

  Do you feel good?  I mean really, are you having the kind of day where you are happy to get out of bed?  Looking forward to taking on the challenges of the day?  Do you have a bounce in your step and a gleam in your eye that makes people wonder what you've got and where they can get it?

  
  

  I think that most of us have felt "not good" for so long that if we have a day where we really feel that sense of health and well-being it's just almost too much.  We start looking around in suspicion for the little guy who MUST be hiding behind the bushes ready to reveal the joke just before we are deflated to our normal position of low energy and fuzzy thinking. 

  
  

  I'm beginning to glow with that scary fervor that is especially reserved for the recently converted and I feel the need to apologize because I KNOW how annoying that can be.  But I really . feel . good. 

  
  

  You know what it's like when you hear those info-mercials that promise that if you take this or take that or take something else you'll instantly lose half your body fat, your hair will grow back, and you'll have the stamina of a long distance runner?  And then you say, "Yeah right" and you go back to munching chips and you flip the channel?  Okay, maybe that's not you, maybe that's just me. 

  
  

  Several months ago, I heard a presentation on a line of products that struck me as pure science fiction.  No WAY could they do all that they claimed to do.  In fact, because some of the other people in the Colorado Springs Biz Net got involved with the company and the products, I heard the pitch more than once.  And every time, I thought I was just a little too sophisitcated to be sucked in by snake oil. 

  
  

  Then curiosity got the better of me and I started doing research.  I even took the stuff to my cousin the doctor and got him involved in the research.  And now?  I'm one of those embarrassing people who can't stop talking about what I've found. 

  
  

  Um, no, I'm not interested in selling it to you.  But I'll show you where it is if you want to buy it for yourself or sell it to all your friends.   

  
  

  Remember all those little wrinkles around my eyes that I've been whining about for two years?  They're gone.  Oh, if I look really really close, and squint up some laughing or frowning expressions, I can find where they used to be.  But just casually glancing into a mirror?  There are no lines where they used to be. 

  
  

  Yeah, I was an idiot because I didn't REALLY expect it to make this much difference so I didn't take "before" photos.  ~sigh~  I've gone back through my photos from last summer, but then I wasn't WANTING anyone to see my wrinkles so I either stood way back or chose lighting and angles that I hoped would minimize the reality of the situation.  ~sigh~  I was dumb.  If I could show you the difference, I'd be one of those people well on the way to making a gazillion dollars.
