The Sunday Paper



One of my favorite marriage relationship rituals is Reading the Sunday Paper together over a cup of tea or coffee.
While the kids play in their rooms (or outside if it's nice)
We check out the sales...
We discuss sports...
We read each other articles and discuss our views...
I really look forward to this simple time and will cherish these moments forever*
Life is far too short not to realize that "the little things can mean the most"!

Today's Paper:
1.
"Huckleberry Finn", by Mark Twain is revised... due to the word "nigger" being in the story, "an average of 5 times on some pages"... "over 200 times in the book"
I believe that school-aged children would benefit from a "G-rated" version of this classic tale.
2.
Rheumatoid Arthritis is escalating in our country...
My take is that this and several other common autoimmune disorders are linked to environmental and lifestyle factors like diet (high in processed foods and gluten) and fitness (or the lack of).
3.
Social Tips For Introverts: "Plan ahead for occasions, Process information by honing good listening skills, and Replace Quantity (frequent) socialization with Quality Socialization".
Good Insight!
4.
Grow an Indoor "Micro-garden":
My take is that this is an awesome idea!
Vegetable/Herb shoots/sprouts are easy to grow and packed with healthy nutrients!
The book, "Microgreens", by Fionna Hill is quoted in the article...(I might have to give it a read)
5.
Family Tree...Genealogy & Genetic Resources:
23andMe.com
Ancestry.com

USGenWeb.com
My thought is that it is good to understand where you come from...
It helps in understanding who you are and where you go from here.

After paper-time today I made a huge batch of "Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies"... YUM!

Emotional Catharsis

Life Unscripted As previously mentioned we recently spent a few weeks in my hometown area related to my oldest daughter's wedding. The wedding day came and went without issue. My baby girl was a beautiful bride and is now a happy Mrs.to her Mr.. The second week of our time there was scheduled as "down time"... time to relax and enjoy visiting with friends and family. One day that second week I awoke feeling the need to re-connect with my past; to settle emotional "loose strings"; to change somethings about my life. We had traveled home in my husband's old manual stick shift F150 truck... kayak on top... back packed full of everything but the kitchen sink. I don't drive his truck as well as I should to go out on my own for the day, besides a good insightful partner would probably make my journey a little easier. I called my step-mom and she said she would be right over and take me wherever I needed to go. As I got ready to go my husband and my boys were ...

Long Time No Post

Life has been a whirlwind of activity, work, travel, family events and motion. While I embrace life in forward motion it is a special jewel when a moment of calm presents itself. So many people are caught in a whirlwind of, "life in motion" these days... As I talk with friends and family members my prayer list grows ever longer and my spirit can struggle to "focus on the positive"... In my heart I truly believe that focusing on the positive and working through the challenges is the best way to navigate this life. I have so very much that I am grateful for... so many blessings... God will help manage the rest:-)
