'nostalgia'... sister post to 'duke'

so I was thinking that nostalgia plays no small part in the things we choose to do, our traditions and whatnot.  and why not?  it's normal to be emotionally connected to things, places, people, ideas.  I think wanting to maintain a status quo because of nostalgic connotations is totally fine, as long as we're self-aware about it and it's not impeding anything.  but still, we shouldn't let warm feelings prevent us from talking a clear look at things when we need to.  as we learn in therapy, feelings aren't facts.

in other news, I'm beginning the journey back to strength and optimum health (in layman's terms, I have about ten pounds to lose or transform).

I am so ready for fall.
