For the Health of It.

So there I was walking along, on my way to class. Walking on Michigan State's campus is an understatement. I think its in the top 3 as far as area and sidewalk miles....yes miles. The morning commute that I will talk about starts after the bus...Im walking, thinking of who knows what- you have all the time in the world to think when you walk on this tree-filled campus- its beautiful. So-Im walking...thinking of whatever when this girl walks past me. She was attractive yes, but I was only able to notice that for a split second- something else about her caught my eye...shes obviously in a hurry- late for something... What I notice are the contents she is holding in one hand. She had some serious talent with this one hand...she was able to grasp her health drink of some kind- one of those ones that cost upwards of $3.00 as well as a lit cigarette with ashes hanging.
So this little visual had my mind thinking- shes trying to be healthy while at the same time ruining herself from the inside out. I also thought hmmm in michigan cigs are like $5 a pack. That makes one cig about 25 cents. I would guess it wasn't her first of the morning. So then my mind thinks of her $3.25, and how horribly spent it was. I think hmmm Id rather a good omlette or slab of ham and hashbrowns. I've been thinking a lot about my health lately- I want and need to be healthier, but I LOVE a good authentic cowboy breakfast- save the grits. But its considered so unhealthy. This run in with this girls left hand had me thinking- so what- its all unhealthy- all of it, unless its terrible tasting- why even worry about WHAT it is- I need to start thinking of HOW MUCH it is. Not in terms of dollars but quantity.

Anyways- as with most of my rambling- its just thinking about things when I can take a break from processing, reflecting, altering, and comprehending College of Education material. Please understand!!
