Welcome!

I, God, welcome you to my blog!

The good book says only God is good, so it seems to me somebody needs to step up.

I hope you enjoy reading this, the Jesse Journal, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please feel free to subscribe, write me an email, request that I write about any particular topic you may want my perspective on, send a prayer, click on the charity link, or donate money to my bicycle fund! Have fun!

Your pal, Jess
I'm a straight, virgo/boar INTJ (age 54) who enjoys books, getting out into nature, music, and daily exercise.

F.Y.I. There are about 2500 posts..

Here's a quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky to start things off right: Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

Chemicals

EVERYthing is made of chemicals

People are mentally ill about "chemicals" being bad.   And everybody has their own opinion about what is tolerable and acceptable and desired and unwelcome.

I mean, flatulence is disgusting (sometimes more than others).    Some incense is better than others, and in different quantities.    People are sensitive to perfumes.   Cleaning chemicals freak people out about being toxic or dangerous.  Cigarettes are a constant battle over the carcinogenic properties of second-hand smoke.   

We all need to respect one another.   Civilly discuss our preferences.  And keep our word  about not crossing the red lines,  the limits we should adapt to.

If you have mental illness, cigarettes can be helpful, sometimes.   Some odors make people sick.   Body odor can be especially offensive, but we don't need to spend fortunes on chemicals to mask and cleanse and purify.   There IS such a thing as TOO clean, I think.   

The sense of smell is the strongest trigger for memories, good or bad.

Use scents wisely, kindly, positively.

Please.
