In More Ways Than One

There Is More To Life Than…

March 25th, 2010

….television and computers and a wii and a game cube and any NUMBER of other electronics!!!  It’s too bad that today’s generation of children aren’t told that more often by the ones who supposedly love them.  I happen to tell my son that quite often.  I mean, think about it.  Out here in the country, we have all KINDS of things that we NEED to do and that we WANT to do, and nothing gets accomplished by sitting behind an electronical toy for hours on end!  What can I say?  I guess I just don’t follow alot of what other parents my age believe.  What can I say, though, other than “It WORKS!”.

God Bless!!!

Natural Is Good!

March 20th, 2010

In the tradition of our ancestors, I have to admit that I am of the mindset that natural is a GOOD thing!  I have been doing more and more natural stuff in our house for several years, as the number of natural cleaners and such has increased in our stores.  When we moved into this house last Fall, we made BIG strides towards using all natural cleaners for EVERYthing and such, as we now have a lagoon for our “sewer system”.  A lagoon is a “living environment”, or so they say, and if you run a bunch of chemically-based cleaners down your drains and such, the lagoon can come to the point of being dormant and not working properly.  And that’s the LAST thing we want to do!  So we use all natural cleaners, and have switched to a color-safe non-chlorine bleach for the laundry, as well as not using bleach as much when we mop and such.

Take stock of what you and your family are doing to help the environment.  You don’t have to have a lagoon to want to use natural health items like natural weight loss products and natural cleaners and such.  You just have to WANT to!

God Bless on this Snowy March day!

All Natural Care

March 19th, 2010

With the price of healthcare costs rising more and more every day, I’m beginning to think that all natural healthcare is the way to go.  Granted, herbal teas and herbal diet supplements and such aren’t super cheap either.  But then again, neither are the prescriptions, which are chemicals and sometimes man-made ingredients, which are hard on your body.  I think, in this day and age, the more all natural you go, the better!

God Bless!!

Sometimes Needed!

March 19th, 2010

I think there comes a time in EVERYONE’S life when they might need to consider some colon cleansing pills to help their body do what it is designed to do better.  This is not a subject that most people like to think about much, but sometimes we need to help our bodies a bit.  I think all natural is the way to go, though, instead of a prescription or something that is chemically based.

God Bless!!

The Best…

March 19th, 2010

….quick weight loss diet that I know of, at least for me, is just getting off my @$$ and get moving!!  In the last couple of weeks, I have noticed that I feel a tad more enthused about doing even the mundane tasks of keeping up the house (or anything else, for that matter) and other such things.  I have to admit, though I have ached several nights in the last couple of weeks, I have been getting more done in my day.  Now it seems like I don’t get a break, even on the weekends!  But ALOT of what I am doing to stay busy, I am doing to earn money, so I really can’t complain!  My bank account has been breathing a sigh of relief the last couple of weeks and it looks like it will continue to do so for at least a little while longer.

God Bless!

New Learning Ways

March 16th, 2010

With the new ways to learn these days, it is becoming more and more popular of a choice to attend an online university. They make it easier to get to the classes if they offer on-line studies, and Western Governors Online University has one of the better lists of classes available, in my opinion.  Whether you are looking to complete your Business Degree or if you’re looking to change professions and go into teaching, WGU can help!!  Their courses offer the on-line option, to make it easy to attend classes when it’s convienent for you AND they have easy payment options.  They can help you get that career-advancement knowledge that you might be looking for in order to get to where you want to be in your career, or they can help you change careers and get into something where you have more room for advancement or where you are more comfortable.

God Bless!!

Peace Of Mind

March 16th, 2010

There are alot of ways to have peace of mind in this technologically advanced age, but one of the best ways, if you’re in the city, is probably to have a security camera. Out here in the country, though, we have OTHER things for our “security”.  Dogs, which we already have…..geese, which we are GETTING again in the next week or two….solar lights to light up the backyard….let’s not forget our donkeys that we are a “foster home” for.  Life in the country is definitely different!!  We kind of walk to the beat of a different drum out here in rural America, I think.  But that’s not always a bad thing, though.  It kind of gives us a different perspective on things sometimes. 

God Bless!!

It’s Really Too Bad!!!

March 10th, 2010

There have been times in my life when I have been with an animal in the last few weeks of their lives.  I can’t say that it was good times, for any of the animals that I have been with, but I wouldn’t change it, even if I could.  With a couple, I have wished that they had incontinence products for animals. With others, I have wished that there was an easier way to say goodbye.  Or that it didn’t drag out for so long.

God Bless!!

College

March 10th, 2010

I have been thinking about taking another college course.  Honestly, the only way that would work with my work schedule is if I could do it like the last one, and I took a course that was COMPLETELY on-line.  Actually, that’s not a bad idea!!  Not only would I be able to do it whenever I got a few minutes, but it would save the cost of textbooks and such.  Another idea to throw around for a few weeks, while we wait and see what happens in a couple of other areas of our lives.

God Bless!!!

I Wonder What Moses Did?

March 10th, 2010

Hang on, people, I’m having another one of those random, totally off-the-wall thoughts again!!!

I wonder what Moses or some of the other Bible people did when they got older?  Did they worry about gray hair and wrinkles?  If they’d had the internet, would they have gone to www.wrinklecreme.net?  Were they proud of their gray hair (if it turned gray as they aged) and their wrinkles?  Hmmmmmm….interesting thoughts, huh?

God Bless!!!
