Getting Ready for the New Year

Last year I was introduced to Ayurveda As with so many things...I didn't stick with it...but this morning I decided to incorporate some of the things that I learned into my morning routine. The pieces of Ayurveda that I use I learned from a video that I purchased last year. Using a Nettie Pot to rinse my sinuses, tongue scraping, skin brushing, and yoga are easy to add to your routine without adding a lot of time.

I started out with the Sun Salutation that the 'You' Dr's address in their book You on a Diet. Any information that you find on the Real-age or Dr Oz website is really from Dr Oz. Since we are on that subject...when you see ads on FB or other social network sites that show Dr Oz's face or name claiming that he endorses some pill or anything...it is a scam! I just saw an episode of his show the other day on which he addressed this. Don't fall for any of those raspberry ketone or green coffee ads...he has nothing to do with them and they may be scam sites.

So...I started off the morning by drinking some room temperature water...this helps with digestion. Then I did the Sun Salutation followed by brushing my skin and a nice shower. The skin brushing is really invigorating and helps to wake you up. If you don't like getting up in the morning - try this...it makes getting moving much easier.

I have already started eating more vegetables and plan to slowly add more and more good habits so that this can be the year that I finally get healthy - and bring my husband along on the journey!!

Feeling blessed

I was thinking about my perception of my past. When I go to Celebrate Recovery and listen to other people's stories, I am sometimes reminded of things that I have been through in my life. It is strange because sometimes it seems that they are things that I have forgotten about. Memories come back and I realize how much God has been caring for me my whole life. Even when I wasn't walking as closely with Him as I am now, He was still there. It makes me think of the Footprints poem - I didn't know it, but He was carrying me! My first husband was not a very good person. He had some good qualities. He could be very generous, but only with certain people and only if he made the decision to be generous. He expected me to put up with many inconveniences - even though we could have afforded better. We lived for years in a mobile home that was in pretty rough shape. We talked about buying a nice double-wide, but he didn't want to spend the money on the land or the hou

August 1951...Roy's view

It was raining, but that wasn’t abnormal these days, August had been a very wet month, it seemed like it rained every day. Roy’s friend, Luther had driven to pick up his sister and her daughter and they would be stopping by any time now. Roy was glad that they were coming to visit. Over the past year, his thoughts had often turned to Ellen. He wanted an excuse to go back to Luther’s home so he could see Ellen and her sweet little daughter, Leah. Finally, he didn’t need any excuse, they were coming here! He heard a car pull up, but was disappointed to find it was just a customer pulling up for gas. His sister Peggy headed out to the pumps, but Roy stopped her. “I’ll get it,” he said, “You don’t need to go out there and get soaked.” As the day wore on, he began to think that they weren’t going to show up. “Maybe it would be tomorrow,” he thought. “You look like your waiting for someone, Roy, what’s going on?” his mother, Jane asked. “It’s just that Luther and his sister should be getting
