Up at 7:50 a.m. 8.5 hours of sleep. weight - 185 lbs. 8:45 to 9:25 a.m. - drank 16 oz. coffee. 9:30 taught lesson. 10:30 - drank 16 oz. Arizona blueberry white tea till 11:30. Taught classes 10:30 to noon. 2:45 p.m. - drank 12 0z. fresh carrot-apple-ginger juice from Heritage Natural Foods. 3:30 - 7:00p.m. taught classes to kids and teenagers. I've noticed that I have been happier in the last week even though I haven't had the pleasure of a meal and have working almost constantly. It occurred to me that many people who seek and get pleasure are not happy. Smoking, drinking and eating are examples of pleasure many people pursue to excess. Too much and prolonged pleasure in smoking can bring lung disease. Too much pleasure in eating brings overweight conditions, then obesity. Too much drinking can bring drunkenness with tragic results. When pleasure is the goal it may not lead to happiness. Long term happiness seems to result from meaningful and fulfilling activities. So is true happiness the sum of your pleasures? Or is it the fruit of your positive efforts? Reason #11 to fast - to move from the ordinary state of mind to bliss (happy for no reason).
