“… Exercise your “forgiveness” muscle every day!” PennyQuote
Our animals seem to have it down pat. We still need to work on this exercise – a whole lot more!
Unconditional love … yeah … that’s the ticket!
Have a great weekend everyone! Filled with lots of love (and forgiveness)!
With affection,

Here’s the caveat! When I write about a nonfiction subject it is my opinion only. If I introduce anything to you that I perceive to be of potential and positive value, it is only an introduction and perhaps my thoughts on the
subject. I do have knowledge in several fields of endeavor, based on experience and education, but do not consider myself the definitive expert in any. Nor should you!!
Therefore take nothing for granted. If you find you are interested in anything on any subject that may be new to you – RESEARCH THIS FOR YOURSELF. Talk to an expert in the field of your interest. There is too much available data online today, some is not credible, some is a down right lie. And .. some is of great value. The purpose of research is to discover, on your own, to the best of your ability to do so, the true value of the thing you want to know more about. And when it comes to your health check with your doctor first before making any life altering changes!
Having said that, here’s to your health!
Live the day your in! (plan for tomorrow, but don’t bypass today because your too busy planning your future)!
Move – More and more professionals (in my opinion) are recognizing the dangers in the overuse of Statin (cholesterol reducing drugs). Exercise is an excellent and easy method to improve your cholestrol levels (here is one of those places for you to do your own research!)
Eat closer to nature (The more colorful the better for vitamins, minerals and – “phytonutrients”, yup go research the reasons why color is good in fruits and vegetables!) Also grain and natural sources of proteins. Definitely worth the research on each of these.
Always make time to share and give! Always – this is huge. Those who make a positive difference in the lives of others seem to live longer and are usually healthier and happier too!
Love and live life. Fill yourself up with the experience of it!

So now a toast to your health … “Live long and Prosper!”

The fluid gyroscope of life!
Many of us are familiar with a gyroscope. A device that maintains orientation during motion. Mechanically it is a spinning wheel or disk where the axle (center) is free to assume any orientation. The momentum of wheel causes
it to retain it’s position. Although the orientation does not stay the same, it changes according to a response from outside forces.
I could get much more technical here using words like “torque”, rate of spin and “moment of inertia”. But I don’t think I really need to. The basics are clear. Although gyroscopes today are exceedingly sophisticated in their usage, the basic premise remains the same. The control or balance of a thing.
Unfortunately we (humans) don’t have a built in gyroscope for our bodies health. Or perhaps we do – but we don’t pay close attention to its signals. Actually we don’t listen at all. We just go get a pill to fix it (which doesn’t)!
Within each of our human bodies are a multitude of fluids that are released, during the course of the day, they assist the mind and the body in functioning properly. When the body is off balance (not doing okay) various types of chemicals will be released by the mind/body in an attempt to correct the problem.
These chemicals are reacting to outside forces (much as a gyroscope does) We feel the effects of these chemical releases; headache, a sore tummy, stiff muscles and joints, feeling weary; just to name a few. That is our human chemical gyroscope trying to adjust that which is off kilter.
The next time you’re not feeling well listen to your body, I’m guessing that, frequently, stress is going to be the leading factor causing the discomfort. If the stress is not released, or lessened we can and do end up very ill,
many times fatally.
All because we aren’t listening to the fluid gyroscope in our body. Our body does want to fix itself and it can. But we need to do our part too.
Start making those changes today in your life style (as you can).Get enough rest, eat healthy and regularly. Drink lots of fluid. Exercise. Take time off from stressful jobs and or situations (This includes all the caregivers out there who care for loved ones.) Remember to have fun and so on.
Each of these can be accomplished even when on an incredibly busy schedule.
I would enjoy hearing from you if you would like some tips and guidelines for a healthier, happier lifestyle. I’ve got the info. if you’ve got a little time to read, so let me know, I would be most happy to share – after all it works for me!
