Oxytocin is a natural hormone made in the brain. It’s stored and released into the blood stream by the pituitary gland.
Other suggestions to boost oxytocin include yoga, massage, listening to music, physical intimacy, meditation, and doing something nice for someone.
Tom, Debby, Tim, and I celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, with photographic proof below. Our oxytocin levels were excellent.
A couple of table views, where the menu was hen, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, black-eyed peas and macaroni and cheese (both from Debby), green beans, asparagus, corn, cranberry sauce, and rolls.
Dessert table, with my cranberry orange bread and Debby’s sweet potato pie.
People!
Lots of leftovers will be eaten. I’m just about to have a slice of cranberry orange bread with my coffee while I start a reread of Book 6 before getting back to the writing of Book 7. One of the issues with a character whose secrets force her to tell lies is a common problem: I, knowing the truth, can’t keep up with her lies.
Nice looking spread and you all look great. Had I been invited I would have brought the best brussels sprouts you’ve ever eaten. Instead I made too many and had to throw some out.
Had I thought you would join us, I’d have invited you with or without the brussels sprouts. =)
It’s always good to spend quality time with family and friends.
I love the tablecloth!
I visited a friend on Saturday, who happened to be dog-sitting a couple of hounds. One of them snuggled-up to me on the sofa and I hardly looked at my phone for the duration. I didn’t need to. I really need to figure out a way that I can have dogs in my home again.
Thank you. That was a fabric remnant at a craft store on sale in the last year or two. Bought it, sewed little side seams all around so it wouldn’t ravel, washed it, and it just covers the table when both leaves are fully extended.
Dogs do make a difference! Maybe you could do some weekend dogsitting–their home or yours.
