Emotions:   I feel great!  In my retracing journey I am now in the first year of my first marriage and I stayed with my feelings about that time for a bit.  It was like visiting the grave of a loved one.  Of course there are regrets, and of course I can’t change the past, but I can move on in my life.  I am not tied to that grave.  I am not tied to that marriage and that person anymore.  I am not even tied to that Hanlie even more, which is good, because she was a very angry person.  I have managed to let go…

Thoughts on the Day:

•  I’m in the process of cooking paella for tomorrow night’s dinner party  (today is my dad’s 70th birthday).  The food is quite frankly grossing me out a bit, and it’s strange to use the stove again.. 
• My mom phoned to ask if she can make me a salad for tomorrow night - WTF?   I almost asked why she wants to start nurturing me now, about 38 years too late (and why, for the love of all that is decent, with food?), but I let that go too… 
• Note to self:  My mother loves me.
• My hands are the worst they’ve been in many years.  In fact they are scabby and disgusting.  I was looking at them today and remembered when they last looked like this.  And you know what?  They last looked like this in 1996, exactly where I am now in my retracing journey.  At the time I was taking medication and topical ointments…  Obviously my body is now fighting that fight all over again, this time without the hindrance of all the prescription crap!
• Remember the protein question?  You may be interested in this great article about our protein requirements.
• Oh yes, today is the first day I have felt significantly better.  My flu is a thing of the past.  Monday I will be back in the gym!

Today’s Picture: 

• The Kaapse Klopse or Cape Minstrels is an annual festival where thousands of minstrels, often in white face take to the streets, garbed in shockingly bright colours, either carrying colourful umbrellas or playing an array of musical instruments.  They are grouped into klopse (a bastardization of the word “clubs” but best described as “troupes” in English).
• Participants are typically from Afrikaans speaking working class coloured families who have preserved the custom since the mid-19th century.  They sing traditional and popular songs.
