Today is "Emotional Health Day".

Hello Everyone,
I hope you all are doing well. While I was going through some boxes I found this folded piece of paper with a poem or what ever you call it and I wanted to share it with you. I think I copied this off of a poster when I was a teenager. That was many years ago and as I look back it amazes me as to the things that mattered to me at that time.....So here ya go... I hope you enjoy....

I am me

In all the world there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it – I own everything about me, my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or to myself – I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears – I own all my triumphs and me, I can become intimately acquainted with me – By so doing I can love me and be friendly with me in all of my parts – I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other that I do not know – But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me – however I look and sound whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me – If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which I discarded – I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me- I own me, and therefore I can engineer me – I am me and
I AM OKAY

"Have you worked out lately?"

Hello and I hope you are all doing well. I hope that this post finds you well and ready for "Thanksgiving" this week. Well, with that being said, you know what they all say about this time of year. How much weight are we supposed to gain this time of year? Is is ten pounds? Well, whatever. Now is a good time of year to get into that exercise program that you know you need to do but don't have the time. Well, I am here to tell you that you do have the time. You just need to make the time for it. Ok, here's the deal. Many years ago I was very disciplined and worked out at a gym and to videos 5 to 7 days a week after I had my son. I had those abs everyone dreamed about and I looked good. Now many years later after having my daughter I'm going to get back into the program. I don't have a lot of time nor at this time do I want to pay for a gym membership. So here's what I do. That video tape I worked out to years ago. Well, I still have it.

"An Apple a day keeps the doctor away".

So what's that all about? An apple a day keeps the doctor away?...An old wives tale claiming that an apple a day will keep the doctor away? Well, there is a lot of truth to that. An apple is full of nutrients and enzymes that are so important for good health. As well as 4 grams of fiber and we all need more of that in our diets...don't we. I remember one time I felt like I was starting to come down with a cold, so I started eating apples every day...Well, guess what? That cold could not really get a hold of me and passed in about 3 days. Right now the people at work are sick and have a nasty cold. I'm like...I don't want that cold....so here I am eating apples every day. I buy organic...so say that's $30 a month for apples for one person. That's a pretty cheap insurance policy. Ok, lets get technical...for my whole family to have an apple a day....with many health benefits...say for $90 a month compared to $350...That's a good investment. Remember

Two Things You Can do to Lose Weight

There are two things that you can do and you will lose weight. Do nothing else except these two things and you will lose some extra pounds. Just these two things. Ok are you ready to know? Do I have you hanging on the edge of your seat? Remember this website is about little things you can do to improve your health. Easy things. It won't cost you much. What have you got to lose? Except for those extra inches. Ok, I will tell you. One...Don't eat after dark (if it's in the Winter, don't eat after 7 p.m.) Two...Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey. (Two tablespoons of ACV and 2 tablespoons of honey) Do this three times a day before each meal. You want to get the organic kind that you buy in the health food store. Bragg's is the brand you want to get. If you can't do all three meals, just do the best you can. There are so many other health benefits of ACV and honey that even if you didn't have to lose weight it would be a good thing to do anyways.
