Oh My My My

Aren't these talking devices just wonderful. My car talks to me. One of my pc printers talks to me. And the other day, after avoiding it for some time, I finally got on my electronic scale. It said just four words: "Get off of me."

Hmmmm. Just what we need - electronic nags.

Seriously, my visit to the scale prompted me to visit another long lost friend, the treadmill. Amazing how dusty its become since I last visited. Fortunately it doesn't talk. If it did, I'd probably hear a lot of sarcasm: "Well, the prodigal son returns." "Forgot where I live did you?" "You better get started - this is going to take awhile."

So here I am, working off those indulgences that tasted so good. Exercising those muscles that rest while I work with my mind. (Posting to a blog burns very minimal calories.) And taking a moment to write this post to remind all of you that we need to constantly attend to body and soul as well as to our mind.

Now if you'll excuse me. The scale just called to tell me the treadmill needs to see me.
