Many think that happiness is to be found outside ourselves in material things, but actually happiness is something that comes from within.

Compassion reduces our fear, boosts our confidence, and opens us to inner strength.

Gluten in stuff like shampoo & cosmetics have been found not to be a threat to those of us that have Celiac disease. Except for the types of things that will be ingested, like lipstick or potentially hand lotion. Unless you have a open wound or deep cut, gluten cannot absorb through the skin. If you do use stuff that has gluten make sure you wash your hands after your done. Like hairspray, lotion etc.. I found this to be very interesting. I stopped using my favorite shampoo because it contained wheat. Not sure that I will go back, have since found a replacement that I love. Just another thing to keep in mind when buying your personal products

Best part of the hike today was the smell of the pine trees. Ummmmm
