Wellness - Senses and Sensibility

October 23,2012


Ever have one of those days when everything is going along in a calm and predictable manner and you feel that all is right with the world..... well , at least all is  tolerable in your own little world. You actually feel that your day is progressing and accomplishments are... well, being accomplished.

Frivolous Friday -- Grammar 101

October 19,2012

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.

Gourds

When contemplating something "frivolous" for this Friday's post, I was standing in my kitchen talking to  one of my granddaughters when she asked what was in the bowl on the table. My answer was "Oh, honey, they are gourds".  A  conversation ensued but the Readers Digest  version is something like this.

Gourds are pretty much useless pieces of fruit/vegetable that are primarily used for display . I checked them out on "Google".

Wellness --- Snoring

October 9,2012


                                                                Snoring        zzzzzzz    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz   zzzzzzzzzzz!!

While mulling ideas around in my head  what topic to address for the Wellness post today and heading to the medicine cabinet to get a pain killer for the headache I woke up with, I realized that the cause of my discomfort was in fact ....snoring.

Happy Thanksgiving

Frivolous Friday--- Grammar

October 5,2012


As this post has no specific theme... hence the name, Frivolous Friday... I have decided to attempt to  have a short string of continuity for a while ... or  is that awhile ?? This is the quandary I have found myself in on occasion.

 About to change... from lovely to spectacular!

Wellness -- S.A.D.

October 2,2012

  With the onset of October we can pretty much bid a fond "Adieu" to  Lovely Lady Summer. The nip in the air during the afternoon and downright cold mornings and nights signal the arrival of Autumn. In this part of the Northern Hemisphere it also means each day is shorter than the last by about 3 minutes.

Reflections 

Well, here it is  the end of  September already, and we in this part of Canada are wondering where our summer went and how did it get away so quickly.

-Benefits of Having Pets-

Many of us have, or had pets at one time or another. Our reasons for getting them are as varied as the people and pets, but for this post I am referring to the rather generic form of pets and that is cats and dogs.

The All Too Common, Common Cold

As I sit here thinking about what would be a suitable "Wellness" post for this week's blog, I am also attending to my husband's very infrequent illness. The symptoms are "common", the effects are "common" and the treatment is also "common".

Q.       What does this spider and Google have in common?

The annual ceremony surrounding the "first day of school and  "back to school" tradition continued again this year.

Lying on my back gazing skyward through out Maple tree.

Hello!  Well, how was your summer?  Did you get time to do all the things that you planned? You know,  when "summer" is in the near future and we are eagerly anticipating a time of  childlike freedom and endless hours at a setting of our choice..ie, beach, camp site, travelling etc., or just not doing what were usually do, every single other day of the year??

Walking on a beach with Grand daughters.

Do you know that I would have to answer "YES" to that question.( sorry, but felt compelled to use "shouty capitals" here).  I enjoyed more freedom, restful sky gazing, and countless meals outside than I have had in my entire adult life. I kept waiting for  sky to fall, or to wake up and find that I was just having a great dream, but you see, that never happened.   The truth of the matter is  that I am thoroughly and completely enjoying a "pre retirement"!

There is still part of me that has some guilt feelings about not dragging my weary self out of  bed in the am and frantically  rushing off to work, but I am putting serious effort into ignoring that part and replacing it with peace and quiet....... so far so good.!!~

Enjoyed many beautiful sunsets with my husband.

I am, however, hoping to return to some semblance of a  schedule with my blogging, so I plan on continuing to blog on Tuesday about health issues with a focus on  mental health and on Fridays.... like today, about what ever happens to tickle my fancy!!!! Humour is an important aspect of  my life and I try to convey that in whatever I do. Life is serious enough so a little levity now and again is needed!
