Caught in a terrible conundrum of whether I should break my diet over New York Super Fudge Chunk or Chunky Monkey at Ben and Jerry’s yesterday, I was reading the different fliers pinned to the community bulletin board inside this 200 square feet of ice-cream heaven.
One flier read: “Got the blues? Learn to play them!”
I don’t know whether to blame the kids or my depression for my stupidity (the death of my brain cells in the prefrontal cortex), but I had to read these seven words four times (that’s 28 words) before I understood the message, which is an important one:
Music can help treat depression.

I used to think this music or that music was better for overcoming depression. I asked a client why he enjoyed a particularly morose song, his answer was both poignant and succinct: “It helps me feel less alone.”

I’m becoming convinced that Ben & Jerry’s New York Super Fudge Chunk ice cream relieves my hot flashes and allows me to sleep all night and awake refreshed in the morning. I was introduced to the ice cream when I was in hospital recovering from spinal surgery. During my home recovery I ate this ice cream and noticed that I slept well. Lately, my hot flashes and inability to sleep at night has pushed me to the edge emotionally and psychologically, two night ago I ate 1/2 pint of the ice cream and sleep good enough for sleeping on the couch. Last night I ate a pint (a lot of calories), slept in the bed and slept like a baby. I didn’t wake up not one time, no hot flashes and I feel refreshed this morning. I’m convinced it’s the ice cream and boy what a feeling! I feel alive!!! Interested to know if anyone else has experienced this or knows why it allievates my hot flashes.
