God, Happiness and Life

We went to see my mother to greet her a happy birthday! She was really surprised to see us but seemed excited and I was soo happy watching her enjoy our presence. Old age can at most times make one lonely. I should know. I am not too old but I  have had the experience of  making sense of life when it seems non sensical. I look at my Mama  and can see that see seemed to have lost some weight.  Her  glaucoma has her eyes are failing her little by little. Not having her usual  eyesight prevents her going  anywhere. Whereas, she used to go to church a lot some years back, it now gives her the shivers to leave her comfort zone. I have time and again suggested that she take up to some kind of  a tool to help her move around. But she won't hear it :-( I look at her and I know she lived a life that's full. I am positive there's still time to bring her to places as soon as she gets that eye procedure we have been wanting her to have! Happy Birthday Mama. We all love YOU!

Weddings can really, truly be stressful. As soon as planning commence the headaches arise as well.  There's a ton full of things to look after, to watch out for, to make the best of and to decide about. Thanks a lot there are wedding planners. Wedding planners have their staff continuously  scouring the internet for suppliers they usually recommend to their clients. Be it wedding ensembles like gowns, tuxedos, wedding bands, watters bridesmaids dresses ,  flowers, including the reception venue and weeding ceremonies venue, information is abundantly available online.The planners take on the evaluating.  Someone mentioned  about weddingtonway . Good timing there would be a need to buy a flower girl outfit soon. June, this year will be the first major social event for my grand daughter as an actual participant. She was invited  to become a flower girl in a relative's wedding nuptial. Her Mom is excited. So is everyone in the family. We want her to look stunning but not st

My son told me his interest about acquiring mutual funds. It has been his goal since he started working overseas - "just to make sure that his staying away from home will make some financial sense or benefit". The truth is  my son has tremendously matured as a result of his living abroad. He now thinks seriously about me and his father, about our future and I feel good seeing him grow emotionally enough to feel he is somehow responsible for his parents well being now that they are starting to grow old. He's been offered a whole lot of things: stocks, additional life and health insurance. What's good about him is that he studies everything, all the angles, the risks and the benefits  before making a major decision. And that is definitely ideal. I am glad that apart from making  research from just about everywhere, he has also taught of getting  more information from those who's had the actual experience of owning these financial instruments, who usually are fr

Cortisol are hormones that bring about stress. We have it inside our bodies and are triggered by negativity.  So who wants stress? Not you. Definitely not me. So why  stress? A couple of reasons or conditions: 1. Emotional problems, such as unexpressed anger,  depression, grief, guilt, or low self-esteem. 2. Relationship issues,  feeling a lack of friendships or support in your life. 3. Major life changes, such as dealing with the death of a parent or spouse, losing your job, getting married, or moving to a new city. 4. Stress in the family, such as having a child, teen, or other family member who is also under stress, or being a caregiver to a family member who is elderly or who has health problems. 5. Conflicts with  personal beliefs and values. For example, you may value family life, but you may not be able to spend as much time with your family as you want. Other social and job issues that can cause stress include: 6. Surroundings like a living that's  overcrowded,

What is it about aging that makes one feel that time runs out as if nothing happened the whole day?  My day is like clockwork. Morning breakfast preparations, partner off to work and I am left with my household and personal chores. Social networking keeps me occupied as well. But one thing I discovered, I could still keep brain  additionally busy by  taking some online courses. And I did start one recently, hoping another course will open come first week of April. I am delighted. These courses will allow my mind to keep on working and that's a big plus to avoid my synapses electrified and energized. My friend based in Australia basically does the same thing as I have done. Despite having her hands full with family, a job and her orchid gardening chores, she keeps herself busy with personal training courses at opencolleges.edu.au. She said online courses offered at her school is what she needed exactly; take it at a time set by her,  during her most preferred days.  She says

To the rest room. True. It is possible to enjoy each and every trip to the toilet with a bidet. The whole elimination process is hygienic, warm if need be or the other way around, whichever fits the situation. It is one bathroom fixture that I fantasize about adding to our bathroom. Bidets are not only hygienic,  but environment friendly as well. Why? Because is saves paper and  helps reduce electricity.  My first encounter with bidets are in five star hotels way back in the 90's when I did a lot of work-related travel. But today bidets are commonplace mostly found  in newly constructed homes. How does a bidet work and is there just one type? Bidets clean the anal and genital areas. Comfortably warm water streams shoot straight into the anus and vaginal areas to cleanse. No need to use toilet paper. Crap free. There are ordinary bidets, bidet toilet seat    and there are electronic ones. Bidet toilet seats  are attached to the toilet so there's really no need for an ext
