I used to be a huge clean-freak. I realize now that it was the only thing in my life I felt I could control. These days, I am making slow but steady progress in getting rid of stuff, and trying to get more organized. Former T used to say, "Make haste slowly." One of my favorite sayings.

Your thread has inspired me to go back to something I did last summer--I made my own flavored waters. Cucumber slices in water is very refreshing. Fresh or frozen fruit in water is delicious, refreshing, and helps satisfy my sweet tooth. I found a lot of good suggestions for fruit/herb combinations online, too.

Thanks for inspiring me!

BTW, I like your new avatar. You look like a super-hero.
