PLAP!

Peace, love and patchouli. Okay, it is a crazy mantra, but it works. Give yourself a PLAP on the back early in the morning and things won't seem so bad later in the day when crappy stuff happens.

I've written about patchouli before and most of you who read this blog know that I adore the stuff. There have been times, however, when I didn't. I'm much more discerning these days about patchouli choices. I have favorites and they're in the organ listed as such -- Grade A, B, C, D, and so forth, my own classification method which has little bearing on how the rest of the world may perceive these individual patchoulis. I'm always delighted when I find a sweet, floral patchouli -- I have to admit, those are my favorites. But I am partial to the sooty variety as well.
