The Buzz About Honey

     Yesterday we were having dinner at our friend Judy's house. Her sister Jodie and her husband Chet were also there. After dinner while we were having coffee, Jodie says to Judy, "He's getting the honey book!" Judy had warned him not to bring it out while we were there. Judy has diabetes and a few days before I had loaned her a copy, of the 'Sugar Busters', to read.
     I chuckled and said, "Poor Judy, first I hand you a book about the negatives of sugar consumption and here comes Chet with his copy of 'The Honey Revolution' expounding the benefits of honey.
     Macia and I were skeptical about what it might contain since we are hard core Sugar Busters believers. He offered it to us for our reading today. We accepted. Last night while listening on PBS to the Andrea Bocelli 'Concerto' in Central Park video, Marcia was reading portions of the honey book. I have to say that it made very good sense.  So we decided to try it out before going to bed.
     One of the uses we wanted to try was to take a tablespoon of pure RAW honey before going to bed. Chet said that one of the immediate results is that you have vivid colored dreams and wake up refreshed. Worth a try.
     We went to bed and during the night, I had one of the most brilliantly colored dreams I've ever had. You know me, I wouldn't say it if it weren't so. Not only that, sometime during the dream, I was aware of Marcia's presence in bed as well as the street noise. (We live right next to a busy street). How weird.
     When reveille came, I asked M. if she had dreamt during the night. She said that she hadn't. I told her about mine. We both agreed that we woke up feeling refreshed!
     Needless to say, we're pleased with our initial try. I'm including the cover pages of the book.


I was so impressed with the results of my dream that I think tonight, I'll chase the honey down with a Viagra pill and some Geritol, followed by a baby aspirin for the heart. I'm hoping to improve the dream! :)
