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.

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!

Book Review

I just finished this book today. It was an easy and fun read. The elderly always make me smile... I like their stories...I respect their mannerisms. They have seen so much throughout their lifetime... They have "been there and done that"... In my experience...people commonly have less "filtering" the older we get, becoming much more direct... open... straight to the point... I love this type of raw human nature...it is simply refreshing! The woman who interviews the "Centenarians" does a program for "National Public Radio (NPR)" and initially doesn't have much experience with the elderly. It is fun to watch her geriatric insight sprout and bloom paralleled with the "Centenarian" stories of the past and the present. My interest is further peaked by a reference book the author mentions, "A General Theory of Love". I plan to add it to my library list...it focuses on "the biological basis for human emotions...love". ...
