Birthday Fun & Colon Cleansing!

Wednesday, 16 March 2011

Upon waking, I was greeted by Darren and the kids with cards and lovely tulips, and when Grandma arrived, they put a candle in my green smoothie and sang me happy birthday! Too funny! Grandma came to help the kids set up their little fish tank, that we've been promising them for awhile. Her being here allowed me and Darren to get out alone for awhile, so we seized the opportunity!

To kickstart my 38th year, I scheduled a colon hydrotherapy (colonic) session out at Sally's Cleansing Center in Blue Ridge Summit, PA. Having been interested in natural heath and holistic nutrition for a long time now, it's been on my list of things to try to improve my digestion, but just taking the leap to give it a try hadn't been a priority. But, I thought, what better thing to do on my birthday; try something new and renewing! So, we headed up there in the late morning, and the appointment went fine. It was relaxing, not at all uncomfortable or embarrassing, and I felt quite good afterwards. So, I'll definitely add it to my toolbox of things to use as I continue to strive for the best health possible.

After that cleansing start to the day, Darren and took a scenic drive home, had a nice lunch, and went to see a movie. So, we got a much-needed reprieve from the kid chaos. After our movie, we returned home to find the little fish tank all set up, with two new inhabitants; Betty and Dennis. So, a good day was had by all, and I couldn't have asked for a better celebration of my birthday than to do something good for myself, spend time alone with Darren, and watch the joy of my children with their new fish friends.
