Nutrition and Emotions

Over the years I have come to an understanding about food and how my body reacts to what I eat. I've blogged at length about my experiences, sometimes writing in more detail than at others.

Most of the time I think my emotional state is at an even temper. Not dramatically high or low. Sometimes (during that time of month) I can get emotionally out of whack, and other times when I've eaten too many milk products/and or sweets I get a bit distressed (sometimes really distressed, like when I ate a lot of yogurt). It's really hard to remember that sometimes...

I'm writing about this because I'm not sure what to do when someone else's emotions and paranoia crash into me and I'm left dumbfounded because I don't know how to explain why they are paranoid and accusing me of things that I didn't do. 

Hard won experience is a package that is difficult to share with others. Most of the time they don't understand why you relate what you do... and sometimes what we think we know is right is not... 

Has anyone else noticed a change in mood from eating different foods?

My Blog Is About...

Up to this point I've made assertions that I am a writer; that I have a writers soul, spirit etc. but I find that from 2009 until now I have written in bits and spurts and haven't been consistent.

Part of that is because I've gone through emotional trauma that made me reluctant to share what I was thinking and only wrote in depressing bursts of sadness. Part of the problem has been sheer business, working, going to school, moving, getting married. Part a lack of confidence in my ability to produce interesting articles and embarrassment over past content on my blog which left me debating whether or not I should simply shut it down and start over.

What is done is done though so I shall let it be.

My MBA is progressing, 2 more semesters and that part of my life will be finished.

Last night was our family Christmas party we had it at the clubhouse of my cousin and it was as loud as ever. I brought butter and left with cookies and Brandon Sanderson books. Yay! :)

Today I'm watching "Girl Meets World" with my little girl. It's a really sweet (but unrealistic) version of childhood.

So this is the point at which my posts get aimless. I don't want to write about everything that's happened to me for however long since I last wrote... and I don't quite think that I've written enough to have this count as a valid post.

It's silly really, maybe I should write about specific things on specific days. I've seen other bloggers do those types of posts and it seems to work out for them. Maybe I'm aimless because this particular blog is more like a journal and doesn't really have a purpose.

My reflections are a way to cast back, mirror and consider what I'm doing in life. To remark and observe on what is happening in the world.

My reflections are somewhat a measure of how I've changed over the years, and where I am going.
