They say that when you dream about losing all your teeth that that is a dream about losing your personal power. So try and apply that to your life whenit is really happening.

When I was 20 years old I went into the mountain with some friends to go sledding on inner tubes. It was on January 23. I didn't come down off the mountain for two months because I wound up shattering my jaw into 13 pieces and pretty much destroying my teeth for the rest of my life. Over the years on an irregular bassis things would suddenly come adrift, a tooth would crack while I was brushing. A tooth or crown would pop off when I was flossing. It is not the sort of thing that encourages one to have the best dental hygiene when it feels like you are doing more damage with your routine maintenance than helping. It has become a major source of discomfit in my life, centering on the tooth that had to be removed two years ago when, for no reason, the rook simple cracked in half.

Well this year is a year for change and facing fears. I wish I could say it was when I was brushing but when I took a bite out of a piece of SEE's cand the other day one of my long stnading crown came adrift. I have vacilated about it but today I took action. Going to the dentist tomorrow to start the long, painful process back. Hopefully I will not have to have a plate put in but we will have to see.

Isn't this glamorous stuff well worth the time you spend reading it?
