Hello Friends,

We have another week-end ahead of us. I do hope yours will be filled with laughter and joy.With much happiness around you.
In a few days it will be Thanksgiving. I’m sure there is something for all to be thankful for.If you pass a service man of woman on the street.

Thank them for the job they are doing to protect us.from the enemy.
Then they come home to find this, I can’t even think of a word to call them.
I am appalled. The first time I saw them on TV I thought it was some other country.This isn’t America. Not what my five brothers fought a war for.. All olf the veterans who have come home with no arms or legs. Is this what they had to come home too..This
isn’t freedom. Tearing up other peoples property,businesses. If they aren’t happy here, the roads are wide open ,they can leave,
I wish they would. I am eighty one years old I was always proud to be a American.This is not the America I know.

I’m not feeling well tonight so I’m sending this e-mail i received from a friend. Maybe it will save someone’s life.

They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

They say if you email this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving at least one life. Will you send this along? Blood Clots/Stroke -
They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue  I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters….. S T. R.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall – she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ….she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Jane’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital – (at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this.

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the ’3′ steps, STR. Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK and
SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)

(i.e. It is sunny out today.)

R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke ——– Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to
‘stick’ out his tongue. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

I have done my part. Will you?

Until Next Time

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF, STAY HEALTHY and BE HAPPY!!!!

Hello Friends,

I hope you had a wonderful week end and the  weather  is beautiful in your little corner pr the world.
We are having a cloudy, windy day  with a little sun  occasionally  peeking  through the clouds. I hear we have snow heading this way, The skiers will love that. It’s getting just about time to sit in the house in front of the fire
Place and cuddle up with a good book. Then watch the snow come down.

If you’ve just moved in to a new studio apartment and cannot decide whether you should start furnishing your new place with full-regalia seating furniture, you might want to get a few bean bags first while you decide. Full  yet. Bean bag chairs are, thus, a good option for those who are only starting out.

Compared to the usual furniture sets, bean bags do not take up much space in your home. They are also very mobile and fit easily in any room. You can bring bean bags anywhere. They do not need to be staples in just one room, like sofa sets. You cannot simply bring a sofa out to the porch if you want to, but with a bean bag this is not a problem. In short, it is a very versatile piece of furniture.

If you live in a rather cramped space, as most individuals who are just starting out do, bean bags are the perfect furniture. They are space-savvy and very cheap. Most bean bags retail for around $10 up, depending on the make and the design. But for the basic ones, getting a number for your apartment unit will not be a strain on the pocket.

Bean bags come in different shapes, sizes, and designs. Thus, you don’t have to be stuck with just one look for the room. You can mix and match bean bags according to your room’s theme. Why, you can even have yours customized!

In addition, since bean bag contents are replaceable, you can use just a few bean sets for a particular number of bags, and then save the extra bags for another occasion or as replacement furniture. You do not need to buy beans for all your bean bags if you won’t use all of them at the same time, anyway. Smart, isn’t it?

Aside from its versatility, a bean bag can also do wonders for your back. As opposed to the traditional chair or piece of furniture that has just one shape, which your body has to adjust to, bean bags tend to follow the shape of your body once you sink into it. You don’t have to keep changing your position every time you feel uncomfortable because the bean bag has already allowed you the best one.

Physical therapists even recommend bean bags for those with recurrent back aches because they provide comfortable seating. Pregnant women can even enjoy it without straining their backs.

Having said this, is there any downside to owning a bean bag, you might ask? Well, bean bags look a LOT different than traditional furniture. If you’re just starting out or if you don’t have much space, you can make bean bags work. However, as your move up, you might want to furnish your home with nice sofas eventually. While bean bag chairs are very practical, they look more like toys than actual furniture. But, hey, if you want to give your home that playful look, spread a number of colorful bean bag chairs all over.

As said earlier, bean bag chairs are versatile. They can serve as ‘ main  furniture, or they can be your home’s  Extra furniture for that extra company. Kids love them

Hello Friends,

I trust your day has been good to you..  I guess  everyone is getting ready for the big turkey dinner.
I can smell it now. It’s right around the corner. I hope all  of your family will be there with you..
Our youngest grandson  and his wife are coming, his children are not. I’m not sure how many of ours will pop in.

There is about six more weeks until Christmas. You still have time to make/purchase  gifts. Are you going to  be ready?

We are doing a our series on candle making on another blog of ours. I hope you will check it out.
Bean bags are fun! Baby chairs, Mama chairs, Papa chairs and Couches.

Beanbag couches are definitely good in their own way. They are usually made of crepe fabrics that are either plain or sating weave. They can also be out of  crampon crepe, which is heavier and is adorned with ribs; chiffon crepe, which is given a soft finish; crepe de chine, a sheered crepe fabric that is limp; crampon crepe, a fabric that is embedded with fine ribs; flat crepe which has a smooth surface; and Blisse crepe, which has a puckered or a crinkled kind of surface.

If you want to install a beanbag couch for your automobile seats, you can do so too. The chair covers may have decorative chair ties like a ribbon to be able to tie the bow behind the chair. So you can relax in the comforts of your own vehicle in style.

Kids will definitely go for this beanbag couch because of its compact composition and small size. Beanbag couches do not take up such a big room therefore they are a better fit for the children who have just gained knowledge on how to walk. If you want to have an extra person or persons sit beside you, then you may extend a seat. The extended seat is supposed to be used as a leg rest and it may also have an armrest.

The colors of these fine beanbag couches stay vibrant even after a long time because the exuberant color is locked into the fibers of its fabric. The creases you can see and feel are products of industrious embossing, boarding, and other means that are the like.

The foams of beanbag couches are filled with low polymer content or a high percentage of filler material that is perceived to have less durability and strength. It has a different cell structure which helps when it comes to adding comfort, support, and bounce or resilience.

If you have a hard time in positioning the rickrack trimmed circles over the opening of the seat, then try this technique. It is easier to perform the aforementioned task if you place one of your hands inside the seat. The zipper on the inner bottom is manufactured with a “childproof” lock.

Beanbag couches usually are made with very high backs and also with a canopy. Their mobility is an asset because they can be transferred to another setting if you desire, or stacked up and kept to be able to have an extra space.

Unlike other couches, beanbag couches exert an exothermic heat, which is a product of several chemical reactions. The exothermal heat is a big help in relaxation and for the stress-free feeling. Heat is believed therefore, are medically proven to be providing comfort and relaxation to anyone.

Until Next Time,

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF, STAY HEALTHY  and  BE HAPPY!!!!

Hello Friends,

I trust your day is going well, I hear there are still many customers without power on the east coast. I remember being without it for three weeks, when I was a child. living in Kalamazoo MI

That was a hardship. But now with the television and the computers unless you have a high powdered generator.
I can’t imagine being without it. My heart goes out to them.

Have you thought  about trying one of  beanbags for furniture family?

When the word furniture enters your mind, the first people that get into your head are the adults. Why is that? It is because of the present fact that adults are the ones that have that powerful purchasing power. However, you must never neglect the fact that not all the people are adults. How about the kids? Have you forgotten about them? It is not fair to forget about what might make the kids happy and satisfied.

Kids would definitely like it if you prepare furniture that they can find to be truly relaxing. They would want a comfortable get-away once they have escaped the hassles of school. And aside from that, it is also an added satisfactory thing for them to reach home and be able to relax after such a tiring game all afternoon.

There are different sizes of beanbags. Those that are sized for children have that engulfing look. This engulfing look gives the kids a secure and comforting feeling. They feel secure because a soft material is hugging them, as if protecting them from what might hurt them in the “outside world”. They also feel comfortable  there is no other piece of furniture that can be softer than beanbags.

Child beanbag chairs have just the appropriate size for children. This is done on purpose so that they will not obtain a feeling of insecurity after being hugged by something so humongous. Of course, you would also not want to have your beloved children suffocated, would you? That is exactly the point.

If you want your kids to relax at the same time have fun, then you can buy a child beanbag for your child. This is a fun way of teaching them that they do not have to make lots of noises and running around a lot to have fun. With their own child beanbag, they can realize that relaxing is another way of having fun.
If you, yourself, were asked about leaving your beanbag chair, you would certainly answer with a big fat no. That is how the kids would tell it. After having spent enough memorable time with their child beanbag chair, they will never even think of leaving their very own child beanbag chair.
So what else are you waiting for? Get your own beanbag chair now! And do not forget your kids! They must also get to feel what happiness and satisfaction you are feeling. Thus, get them their very own child beanbag chair as well!

Until Next Time,

BE  GOOD TO YOURSELF, STAY HEALTHY and BE HAPPY!!!!

Hello Friends

I hope you had a wonderful day. I am so happy being back with you tonight.
The days are passing so fast. If you plan to make gifts for Christmas you better get started. I will try my best to get
Some gift giving ideas are ready for you.. The bean bag chairs are fun.

We are using the Candle making over on our other  blog . http://junecraig.com/debt-wp/    check the crafts

Beanbag chairs are probably the only soft cushioned furniture that has such an interesting variety of patterns. This is not to say that other pieces of furniture have ugly patterns, but it is true that beanbag chairs are so creative and imaginative when it comes brainstorming for the patterns.

Large patterns are perceived to be the ones that are most relaxing. Large patterns are really fun especially if you just want to relax and doze off. You can choose among large patterns of circles or squares and many other designs!

If you love fruits, in this case, strawberries, then you can have a Strawberry Circles pattern for your beanbag chair. This pattern is good for kids, especially female ones, due to the colorful pink color. Strawberries have grown to become one of the icons that dictate childish femininity. There is no reason for you to break that tradition.

There are sorts of beanbag chair patterns that you can choose from. You just need to choose right to be able to distinguish which ones look best in your living room or in any other household division.

The term “pattern” does not just pertain to the beanbag chair’s outer covering. It also pertains to how the beanbag chair was molded or made.

Beanbag chairs were also patterned with urethane foam. They are filled with urethane foam to be able to be more assured that they will be providing a supportive feel for the decades to come. Its patterned upholstery was also purposely made to be different with its various colors and patterns. Their manufacturers understand that there is indeed a diversity when it comes to the favorite colors of their potential consumers, therefore, since they prioritize customer satisfaction, they have to serve their consumers first and foremost.

The patterns are definitely as different as the word “difference” can ever define. This is done on purpose to be able to satisfy every individual need and liking. Sometimes their patterns can get weird due to the utmost diversity that is being implemented. But still, no matter how weird things can get, the patterns of beanbag chairs are still highly sellable. So join the club and choose your own beanbag chair now!

Until Next Time,

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF, STAY HEALTHY, HAVE FUN and BE HAPPY!!!!

Hello Friends,

I am so happy being back here with you tonight. I do hope you are not one of the unfortunate people Stranded by the snow. My heart goes out to you.. You are in our prayers.

Have you had your flu shots? I have talked to several people this year who had them, then became very  sick. Richard and I had ours early. Both sick afterward. My daughter has only been getting them the past
Four or five years, because of taking care of the elderly. She is very sick from hers. I just wonder if they
Did something different to them this time. Anyone have any ideas on this? I would like to hear them.

On to a different subject. The holidays are fast approaching. Due to the economy, people without jobs and all the other things that go with that many people will probably  make gifts. I really love getting home made gifts.
I thought I would put some ideas out there for you this year.
The bean bag chairs have been around for a long time. We had a couple, the grand kids loved them. The cats and dogs  also.(That’s what happened to mine) They are fun…

Contrary to famous perception, beanbags are actually not made of real beans. Instead they are made of tiny compounds that feel like beans. Of course, the various manufacturers of beanbags made it a point not to make beanbags with real beans because of the organic factor that real beans, of course, rot. If that is the case, then their beanbags will probably not be purchased by many because of the rotting odor and the fact that it is filled with rotten organic material.

Beanbags are not as expensive as you might initially think. Of course, some are deemed to be so expensive. But not every beanbag you see costs you a fortune. You just need to look in the right places to be able to find the right beanbag for your household, at the same time one that does not seem like you needed to rob a bank before purchasing it.

They also require keen maintenance and care. When you opt to relax in a certain beanbag, you need to make sure first that you are not wearing anything that is sharp enough to puncture its fabric. The fabric is not as thick as cement or hardwood; thus, you need to be careful if you really intend on keeping your beanbag intact.

Having a hole, or holes, on your beanbag is very detrimental. The air that gives your beanbag that engulfing look will be drained out and thus; you will have less air to have fun with. The “beans” might also exit through the “wound”, which means your beanbag will slowly become empty. If that is the case, then why don’t you just sit on the floor?

You should also be careful when it is time to give your beanbags a “bath”. You must not use any whitening agents if your beanbag is colored. You can if you want your beanbag’s color to fade. In regards with soap, you can soap it as much as you like, just making sure that the piece of cloth or brush that you are using to brush the soap is not one that can puncture the fabric.

Beanbags are definitely one of those furniture pieces that just make you wonder. It proves that humanity has not ended their stage of creativity yet. It shows just how much man can do and come up with.

Get your very own beanbag now and save more!
You will find some other ideas on a couple of our other websites.

Hello Friends,

It has been quite sometime since I have been here with you.It’s great being back. I promise to do better.But, you know, when you  computer decides to crash on you that really puts a halt to everything.
I do hope you are all doing well. You have all of your garden and yard cleanup finished? Ready for winter. It will soon be on us.
I can not believe how close we are to the holidays. Also that horrible flu season. I am already hearing many people who have the symptoms.

Bird flu is a disease caused by a specific type of avian (bird) influenza virus, the so-called H5N1 virus. This virus was first discovered in birds in China in 1997 and since then has infected 125 people in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Indonesia, killing 64 of them. It is spread by infected migratory birds (including wild ducks and geese) to domestic poultry (primarily chickens, ducks, and turkeys), and then to humans.

Since 1997, and especially since the beginning of 2004, approximately 150 million birds have either died from the disease or been killed to prevent further spread. Nevertheless, this very infectious and deadly virus has spread relentlessly to China, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Laos, Russia, Indonesia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Turkey, Romania, England, Croatia, Macedonia, and other countries. This ongoing geographic extension of the virus is of great concern around the world. It is feared that it will continue to spread to all continents, including the Western Hemisphere—and it no doubt will.

Normally, different types of viruses infect just one, or a limited number, of species specific to the particular virus type. The bird-flu virus, however, has infected a large number of birds and animals, including ducks, chickens, turkeys, tree sparrows, peregrine falcons, great black-headed gulls, brown-headed gulls, gray herons, Canada geese, bar-headed geese, little egrets, pigs, clouded leopards, white tigers, mice, domestic cats, crows, magpies, peacocks, blue pheasants, rare eagles, turtledoves, swans, terns, and others. This is another sign of the virulence or destructiveness of the virus.

Researchers, historians, and infectious-disease experts have determined that influenza pandemics (global epidemics) occur approximately once every 30 years. The most deadly pandemic ever recorded occurred in 1918-19, killing more than 100 million people across the globe in less than two years. Two other much less severe pandemics occurred, one in 1957, when approximately  two million people died, and one in 1968, when about one million people died. Because we have already had three pandemics in less than 100 years, we are “overdue” for another one.

And so this disease-causing virus continues to infect more and more species in more and more countries. In laboratory experiments, it has been shown to be one of the most lethal influenza viruses ever known. In addition, just recently and after 10 years of work, researchers determined that the H5N1 bird-flu virus is genetically more similar to the deadly 1918-19 influenza pandemic virus than to the viruses which caused the much less severe pandemics of 1957-58 and 1968-69.

To summarize the important points so far: The bird-flu virus is a very deadly strain of avian influenza called H5N1 that has killed millions of birds; 2) the virus is spreading relentlessly around the world; 3) the virus has infected many species, which is uncharacteristic of most viruses; 4) the virus has been shown to be similar to the most deadly virus ever known, which caused the 1918-19 pandemic; 5) the virus has been shown to be much more deadly in laboratory experiments than regular influenza viruses; and 6) the virus is known to have infected at least 125 humans and killed 64 of them so far, yielding a fatality rate of approximately 50 percent.

The virus continues to kill humans, but at a slow rate—it has not yet acquired the capacity to be easily transmissible between humans; humans become infected primarily from sick birds. Because humans alive today have no natural immunity to the H5N1 virus, once it becomes easily transmissible between humans a pandemic or global epidemic will occur. The central question is, when will it exchange enough genetic material with the usual seasonal human influenza-viruses to become more like a human-influenza virus—and thus become easily transmissible between people?

Many people believe that the virus will continue to spread around the world until it is present in most or all countries—before it will “go human” (become easily transmissible between people). And that may be the case. The pandemic of 1918-19 is thought to have started in Kansas (of all places). So it is certainly possible that the coming pandemic could start somewhere else than in Asia—although most experts believe it will, in fact, start there. It could start in a country which has not yet been host to the virus.

However, it is most certainly not necessary for the virus to march all the way around the world before a pandemic can begin. The fact that the virus already has spread to more than 15 countries, and to many different bird and animal species, provides the opportunity for it to commingle with a human-influenza virus and create the dreaded human contagion. There is no known reason why this could not happen tomorrow.  While it is true that the probability of the switch increases with time, the probability of its happening tomorrow is far from zero.

The flip side to the possibility that the crossover could happen at any time is the fact that the virus has been around at least since 1997 and, as a matter of record, has not yet switched to a deadly human-to-human form. At least a few scientists believe that the virus can’t and won’t make the switch to a deadly form, possibly ever.

And so we are left with these two very different possibilities—at any time, and as soon as tomorrow, the virus could mutate into a deadly form, readily transmissible between people—or it might never transform itself into such a form. There appears to be much more evidence for the former and, presumably, that is why the vast majority of scientists and governments are scrambling to prepare for the worst.

This situation is analogous to living on the Gulf Coast during the beginning of hurricane season.  Residents there have been through it before, but most of the time the storms are not too severe and the people can get by without too much hassle.  However, there have been rare severe storms that have been devastating.  Some day another hurricane is coming, and it appears that it might well be a Category IV or even V by the time it strikes land. However, that’s not certain—no one can say for sure, and no one knows exactly when it will strike land. So what should the residents do?  What should the residents have done before hurricane Katrina?

The coming bird-flu pandemic might be mild and it might not come for years.  On the other hand, it might be severe and it might start tomorrow. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has said, “While the severity of the next pandemic cannot be predicted, modeling studies suggest that its effect in the United States could be severe.” We should also be mindful that the pandemic could come at any time, even before the virus methodically marches around the globe.  No matter how advanced science has become, we still can not predict when the switch will occur; it is currently unknowable—and that does not mean it will come later, in a predictable fashion. As Miguel de Cervantes admonished, “Forewarned, forearmed.”

Hello Friends,

I trust your day is going well. We are having a typical fall day here in the beautiful pacific northwest. it is cloudy with occasional sun peeking through.We had some of the much needed rain.
.The farmers are trying to get the apples picked in between rain the storms. The trucks are buzzing up and down the highways,filled with apples, pears and other fruit.Field after field of pumpkins. Can’t you just see the children’s faces while they(with their
parents of course) carve the pumpkins.

S – Start believing in yourself and what you do!

Starting=beginning. If you wouldn’t have taken the risk and got on your bicycle for the first time, would you have the confidence that you do now as you mount your bike for a ride through town? This belief comes from within and turns your dreams and vision into reality!

U – Understand another’s point of view.

You don’t know it all, so don’t appear to. Put yourself in their shoes and listen. Have empathy.
What does the other person want? What are they feeling? Block out your own feelings and the voice that has a response to their statements and truly “BE” with the one you are talking with. Don’t interrupt! Have you ever thought of the perfect response, so witty and smart, that it burst out of your mouth, only to stop the sentence coming out of the other person’s mouth. You missed them and possibly the sale or relationship.
Have you ever truly been understood? It is the best feeling in the world. When you put yourself aside to put the other person first, that is true sacrifice and success.

C – Confidence isn’t a feeling, it is an action. You need to have it, even when you just don’t feel like you can!

C – Collaborate , share your successes, be vulnerable and share your mistakes. Be real! You will become a people magnet. Surround yourself with people you admire. Look for like minded people, people who have what you want, who believe as you believe! Find out how they got to where they are and then do the same. Billionaire Ross Perot paid millions to attract the brightest to his company. Be people smart.

E – Exercise your brain and body.

Read, read, read! Readers are leaders. Have you thought about that, it is true. The more you know, the more confident you feel and the more comfortable you feel collaborating with those who have what you want. Sound familiar?

Run, run, run! Keep your body in shape. Make a list of the people you admire, who have what you want? What do they look like? Do they exercise or take care of their outer body as well as their mind and soul?

E- Encourage others! Your friends, family, business partners all deserve to hear praise. Dig deep to find something they are good at or have done well, then say it, write it, sing a song to it, whatever, just acknowledge it to that other person!

D- Determine to be better than who you are and you’ll be surprised at who you’ll become! Use the bulldog determination like the tortoise and the Hare. Even the snail made it to the ark. Determine not to quit, creatively begin again and again, and again!
How hard are you going to work? How bad do you want it! It isn’t that hard, just…

Start believing in yourself.
Understand another’s point of view.
Confidence – do it and then feel it!
Collaborate with those who have what you want.
Exercise your mind, body and soul.
Encourage others.

Determine to be better than who you are and you’ll be surprised at who you’ll become –

Then SUCCEED!

Hello Friends,

It  is a wonderful day to be alive. Much more so if
you can be indoors by  the air conditioner if you are
where it is in the the hundred degree temperature range.
They say we will have another week of this, then it will
cool down to the eighties.

These poor folks out in the orchards day after day picking
our fruit. You have to admire them. You very seldom hear
them complain. They always seem to be happy, smiling and
laughing.

I don’t know if this is so surprising, nearly everyone you talk to
is either fighting depression or know someone who is.
I know  is hope for us. There is help for it. The main thing I
have found for myself has been to learn  how the Relax.That
was something I have found so hard to do.

.
Clinical depression is the leading cause of disability
in North America. The World Health Organization
anticipates that by 2020, clinical depressions will be
the second leading cause of disability worldwide.
Heart disease is expected to continue being number
one.

Interestingly, almost twice as many females as males
report or receive treatment for clinical  depression.
That’s because men won’t seek help as fast as women.

However, recent history is showing a lessening of this
imbalance. This difference seems to disappear after
the age of facts.

The theoretical causes and risk factors of clinical
depression are broadly classified into two categories
Physiological and Sociological.

One common sociological cause is life
experiences. This includes job loss, long term
unemployment, rape, divorce and sexual dysfunction. As
the instances of these causes increase in North
America, the cases of depression rise as well.

A few of the physiological factors prevalent in North
America include dietary, medical conditions and even
the quality of sleep.

The increase in depression in industrialized countries
is linked to the reduced amounts of omega-3 fatty
acids found in intensively farmed and processed foods.
A deficiency in magnesium levels can cause depression
as well as an excess of omega-6 fatty acids.

Certain illnesses including cardiovascular disease,
prominent in North America, may contribute to
depression. Some prescription drugs such as hormonal
contraceptives and steroids may also play a roll in
causing depression.

Abnormal sleep architecture has been found in many
people suffering from major depression. This results
in entering REM sleep sooner than normal, along with
emotionally charged dreams.

Until Next Time,

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF, STAY HEALTHY and BE HAPPY!!!

Hello Friends.

We are having another beautiful day to be alive. I trust your day has been wonderful as well. We still have a short time before fall begins. Enjoy as much of it as you possibly can. I hope the weather Is wonderful in your part of the world also.

There are so many families who have a member who has Alzheimer’s. I’m sure most of us,Know someone who has it. It is something we should all be concerned with .Being a caregiver It is very rewarding. Knowing you are able to help someone. It is also very stressful. My daughter has been a care-giver for several years. She gets so emotionally involved with Them and their families. When they are gone it’s like losing  a member of your own family.Last month she lost a client she had taken care of on weed-end for five years. A week later she lost her sister. My oldest daughter. I was so worried about her. I know she is strong but you can only
take so much. She lost her husband, he left her with two small children to raise.They were five and one and a half. What a blow. The are both married now with children of their own. God won’t give you more then you can handle.

Just for a moment I want you to imagine that you are coming out of a very deep sleep. If you have ever had surgeries try to remember the way you felt as you were trying to make sense of things as you awoke. As you imagine or remember this sensation do you find yourself wondering if it is morning or night. Are you trying to remember where you are? Do you have a startle reaction and think for a moment that you are late for work or forgot to pick up your children at school? I have had that upsetting feeling if I wake up in the middle of the night or even after a nap. Now imagine that same fog every moment of your life…….

So many care givers find themselves frustrated with an Alzheimer’s sufferer. They may say things like “He just doesn’t seem to care if I am with him or not” or “He doesn’t enjoy doing anything any more.” I know that it is so hard to accept the changes in your loved one and know that this is going to be your reality. If you can remind yourself that the behaviors are organic it will help. The plaque is building up and spreading over the surface of the brain just as a grass fire moves across a dry field. As it covers more areas your loved falls deeper into that fog. Alzheimer’s disease doesn’t show up like a broken one or a surgical scar but the effects are just as real.

When the things they say or do cause you to feel angry or sad do you best to remember that it is the disease. not  your loved one. That’s when it is time for some care giver TLC.

Care giver burnout is a very real occurrence. If you are caring for someone you must include your own needs each day. Your health may decline at a faster rate than the person you are caring for if your dietary, emotional and physical needs are not met. Skipping checkups their Dr’s .is not an option.

You may be asking “How am I supposed to do all of this all by myself?” The answer is simple. You can’t do it all alone. The first step to healthy care giving is accepting the fact that you have limitations. Every human being does. You can only stay awake, maintain your health and keep up with the demands for a limited amount of time. When you reach your limit you may find yourself suffering from care giver burnout. You may have trouble concentrating, experience nervous  tension, and you may find it difficult to fight off resentment toward your loved one or others in your family that you feel should be assisting you.

Reach out. Call upon your family, friends, and church and community organizations. Your local hospitals will have information regarding community resources. This information can usually be found by contacting the Social Services Department. Another good resource is the Alzheimer’s Association. By taking care of your health you will, in turn be a better care giver.
