Wellness -- K.I.S.S. ( Keep It So Simple)

November 27,2012

With Thanksgiving 2012 an event in the past, we now are moving full tilt with our preparations for the  next big event for this year, Christmas!  The stores are, or in some cases have been, stocked with decorations , gift ideas and the commercials that are inundating  us with what the simply "have" to buy to be happy, to be like  our neighbors, to be able to relate to our co- workers, and others that are encountered, even by chance.  This time of "peace on earth" can quite rapidly become a "stress on earth" that is so unnecessary. We all want to celebrate, but it is how we celebrate that is important.

Wellness - Decorations

November 20,2012

 Hard to believe it is that time of the year again. I'm not talking about the weather, it's the "decorating the house" time.   You would think that after all these years of marriage we would have the whole dig-out-the boxes, pick out what you want, check that the lights still work thing down to a science. But in reality......NOT!!

Frivolous Friday-- Grammar Is Important. #3 of a series.

November 16,2012
Note: I am in the process of renewing my home page. It is a task intensive and frustrating ordeal, so please bear with me until the final edition is ready. In the meantime .....enjoy



This  is a series that  will appear on the Frivolous Friday slot for the next little while, in bi-weekly increments ( for fortnightly if you are from Britain). Although it is very basic grammar, most of it I learned while in junior high school.... now called middle school and the presentation reflects that age group.

 I am not a teacher, not do I have any idea what is or is not taught in the system today. It is just an idea that presented itself when I came across a grammar text ( see Oct.5/12) that was used in the schools "in my day".  I am hoping to refresh my memory and maybe even relearn a few things, but mostly I am going to make the effort to keep it, light, informative and above all, fun and humorous.  Hope you enjoy.

One of the last reminders of the season and the wonderful country that we live in.....

Frivolous Friday-- My Confused Garden

November 9,2012



For those of  us whose habitat is in the area of the 45 parallel  we experience 4 distinct seasons. Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall. Each season has a plant growth specific to that season.

Wellness--- Effects of Time Change.

   It's that "Fall Back" time of year again, when the clocks in thousands of homes are turned back by one hour  so that  daylight starts an hour earlier....actually it follows that night also starts an hour earlier, but that's not the point!!  The bottom line is that we experience more darkness in our normal work day.
