Validation

Well, life has been pretty stressful lately so earlier in the week I booked myself a massage for today. I figured that since my insurance covers it - I might as well. I walked in today to meet Teresa, my massage therapist. She was so awesome. She used a technique on me that I've never experienced before called "cupping". She puts these glass cups on your skin and they have a little bulb on the end that she squeezes to create suction. Then, she moves them around all over the back, arms, legs, etc. It's a really strange yet relaxing sensation. At the end of the massage we were talking about it and she told me that she thought that I ate really healthy and asked if that was the case. I said yes and asked what made her think that. She went on to explain that during cupping she can tell a lot about a person's health and such things as how they eat, if they smoke or drink, and if they have cancer. Apparently the way the skin looks while being suctioned in the cup is an indication of these things. The skin could turn yellow, purple, deep red, or black. I am not sure how mine looked (it must've been good) but she said that my skin looks great and I have a very healthy complexion. SCORE!!!! Must be all the clean foods and large amounts of water I have been taking in. What a nice validation that she told me that she can tell I eat healthy and I've never talked to her about my lifestyle before. 

I can tell Pete is a little bitter that I ate pizza and he didn't because he said "guess she didn't see the pizza". hahaha! His time will come where he eats something bad, too. It's just funny how when you go on this journey together, one person feels slighted if the other veers off course. I know I'd be jealous if I knew he had eaten some cake or chocolate!
