Preparing for bad weather

Havoc has been caused all over the country by this thing called weather. Tornadoes, hurricanes and thunderstorms to name a few. It is way past time to make sure your family has an emergency kit or bag filled with what we might need in case of an emergency.
And most importantly , where is the escape or shelter area for your family. We watch all the weather disasters on TV every day and we think that it might not happen to us.

Express Yourself

Being able to express yourself is good for your health and well being. It helps to calm you and also sharpens your thinking skills.There are many ways available for you to express yourself available on the web. The really good sites let you discuss what you know and what you want to talk about. It is a good way to release
some of that mental energy that we all posses.

If you have a hobby or something you really like to do and want to share it or teach them how, then this might work for you. Everyone has different ways of doing things. Theses ideas can be shared and help others learn to do something different or make it easier.

You might like to take pictures, paint, cook, know how to do a repair and so much more. It is amazing how much you can learn about the everyday things and the not so familiar activities that people are involved in. It is a learning experience.

You can really travel the world through these sites after reading and viewing the pictures that others have submitted or by viewing the instructions as to how to do something that you might have thought was too difficult to try. This information is shared by real people that love to share their experiences and talent.

I love to take pictures of all things and share them with others. You don't have to be an expert, because you learn from others that gladly offer advice or how-to instructions and help.
If you work with crafts you can show how and what you do.There are no limitations. Of course all of these sites have rules, but they are to be expected.

You really can proceed at your own pace without any pressure. You might want to participate in the challenges offered, but that would be up to you. We do a lot of physical things, but are we keeping our minds sharp by doing something we really like doing?

I am putting a couple of examples of what I have talked about. Check them out and don't be shy. Express yourself.

It is St. Patrick's Day. May you all have a prosperous and healthy year. As a youngster we always wore something green to recognize the celebration of the holiday, even though we we not Irish. It was called sharing and acknowledging everyone and their holiday.

The world would be a better place if this was practiced by everyone, no matter who you are.

Lost Holidays

Many of us lost our holidays due to tragic occurrences. There were so many sad and horrific happenings right around the holidays which saddened the whole world.

Why, is still the question. No one seems to have an answer to the unusual actions that have taken place lately. Is it due to mental health issues or gun control or veiwing so many violent
movies and the violent nature of video games offered to the public?

Will we ever be able to pinpoint the cause of all of these sad happenings? Maybe it is all of these things put together. We all are caught up into getting through the day as best we can and not
paying attention to our surroundings or changes in one's behavior.

Most of these vicious acts are done by people that are dressed in some kind of costume or video game character. Are these individuals
re-enacting something they have viewed on television or a video game?

It appears that they might be doing just that. Maybe after watching or playing so many of these violent games, and if they have a mental problem, this adds to the problem.

Of course they have a deep problem and we must find a way to identify them, whether it be family or friends or anyone which will cause havoc in our lives.

Put aside the politics and all of those people that are out for capital gain and start looking and listening to those around us and maybe we might see it coming and be able to alert the authorities and save a life.

The question is, what is causing these attacks on innocent children and adults?   

 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All

Wishing you a wonderful and Happy New Year

Thanksgiving is a time for sharing and reaching out to family and friends. We should be thankful everyday and show it, but as in real life we are way to busy with work ,school and whatever else fills our plate. I think that most of us give thanks each and every day no matter what comes our way, for we know better days are to come.

There is so much turmoil all over the world such as weather, wars and all the other things that affect us in one way or another. It brings our attention to how blessed we are. We pray for those that have lost their lives due to storms and those that have lost their lives in war or in any way.

One might say "how can I be thankful"?  The sun will rise again and shine on you and dry your tears, be Thankful!!
