Ah Refreshing

Have you thought of the alternatives to carbonated sodas? There's the new crystal light you can put in your water bottle, fruit20 and also snapple. These are great alternatives to the diet soda that blaots and makes your feet swell. Last year a study went among school children who drank diet sodas and those that drank non carbonated drinks. The side that drank the diet sodas had 20lbs more weight on them than the ones that had the non carbonated drinks. :) Try snapple it's good for you.

Hurting others and yourself

Why would someone want to hurt themselves and then park their suv on an oncoming train truly it's a pure evil and selfish thought.

When To Rejoice

When To Rejoice

1 THESSALONIANS 5:16 KJV
16 Rejoice evermore.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:16 NASB
16 Rejoice always;

If you only rejoice when things are perfect, you may not
rejoice much in this life.

Why miss out on something so pleasant?

ROMANS 12:12 NRSV
12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in
prayer.

You can rejoice in hope! That means to rejoice ahead of time.

Why? Because you expect deliverance. You know God's blessing is
coming your way -- because God is faithful. So rejoice now!

PHILIPPIANS 4:4 NIV
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

God never changes. He's always good. Focus on Him and you will
have something to rejoice about.

SAY THIS: I will rejoice in the Lord always.

matercare lifesaver program pays for Obstetric Fistula

Prolonged and unrelieved obstructed labour usually causes the death of child and/or mother. In small remote villages the local midwife can't perform a Caesarian delivery.


If the mother survives, the obstructed labour has ruptured the internal passages of bladder and rectum.

The mother is left permanently incontinent, unable to contain urine or faeces, which leak out through her vagina. She is constantly wet, filthy and smelly. She is shunned by her husband and village. Carrying a bowl between her legs, she is left to fend for herself.

Folklore compounds the mother's misery : in local belief, obstetric fistula is a result of marital infidelity or sexually transmitted disease. Thus in addition to her extreme physical discomfort, the mother bears an unwarranted burden of shame and guilt.

Estimates are that well over 1,000,000 mothers suffer this condition.

Surgery to repair obstetric fistula is relatively simple and inexpensive (approx. $425 Cdn.), BUT ... since this ailment no longer exists in developed countries, our medical schools no longer train doctors to do this surgery

reiki

There's so many types of reiki. I think i am going for the usai. But to mention some celtic, angel, and at least about twenty more different names. There's a site where you can learn more about yourself and a certain technique that deals with aura and your different colors of your aura. So far i have had an attunement. It felt really strange but soothing. I hope to learn level 1 and get my certificate :) Then i can work on my aches and pains and move on to level 2. but that website is thinktq.com

focusing

There are so many things i want to do :) So many different things. IT's hard to focus on just one thing. Harmonica, reiki, christianity, my well being, the well being of my family, trying to get better physically, it's hard to focus especially when you wake up in the morning feeling that sick feeling. :) I guess you have to fight and conquer. Sometimes it overtakes your well being and all you do is just stay there. It's not fun to feel bad, it's serious, but you don't want to take conventional medicine for it because it drags you down further than what you feel. No I guess you have to focus on something more positive . Hoping to God the reiki works and leave the ibuprophen in the cabinet. :)

Daytime Television

Daytime television is the worst thing that can play on your nerves when you are trying to do other things, turn it off and enjoy the silence :)

A different twist on tuna salad :)

I did a different twist on tuna salad for lunch, what i did was added tuna to mustard, carrots, sweet pickles, onion, and grated cabbage together. It tasted pretty good. Some people like using bacon bits which also makes it taste really good. Tuna is one of the healthiest things you can eat and it has no fat in it. :) Also, you can eat any type of baked fish which is also good for you. I cannot believe for so many years i have been so dumb and stubborn and not ate anything like this. :) A new years resolution made me change my mind because so many healthy people are eating fish and they live alot longer than those who don't :)

Ugrgh:)

Don't you just love it when you get a cold? don't you just love it when you can't take any perticular type of medicine because you are so not tolerent of it? How do you deal with that :D I guess drink a a cup of green tea and zip the lip :)
