It has happened again. We’ve got snow on the roads and the only one’s who are happy are the kids. And why not, nothing like that first slide down a hill.
But for we older folks, it means shoveling and that means some of you will end up with BACK PAIN.
So what to do? Most people will … Read More
Everyone wants to have someone in their lives. I mean, really, who wants to be alone all the time? And many people are looking for that special someone, believing that there is a “soulmate” out there just for them.
Or is it just pinning for an old love of yesteryear? Or is it unrealistic expectations where you are living in a fantasy world?
We can get attached to a significant other, whether we live with them or
not. The significant other can be … Read More, Take the

When it comes to our health, we like to think that we are in control. And if we are not in control, a quick visit to our family doctor will put it back into our control. Once person I was working with recently told me, completely serious when he said this, I’m in great health! When I asked him if he were on any medications, he then listed one drug after the other. He was on a drug for his high cholesterol. “But as long as I take the drug, I’m just fine”, he said. And then he told me about the drug he was taking for his high blood pressure. And the drug he was taking for his blood sugar. And that his diet was working well, that he had lost 5 pounds over the last 3 months (he weights almost 300 pounds). He seriously thought he was in great health, that he had everything under control.
Makes me wonder how many other people think that they …

Let’s call this post, the “Awful Truth”. A recent poll commissioned by the Vancouver Sun has said what we already thought but wouldn’t say out loud.
So here it is: “A new poll of 7,600 men has found that half of men would dump their girlfriend if she gained weight, according to the Vancouver Sun.”
Men: would you really dump your girlfriend for gaining weight?
As we get into our 40′s and older, our bodies just don’t seem to keep up like they used to. In fact, we start going downhill even in our 30′s. We just
start to realize it in our 40′s. Vision not quite as good as it once once, hearing not quite as sharp. And your verve, your zest for life isn’t quite what it used to be.
It seems that even though we are trying to do everything we can to stay young, we are aging. What’s going on?
Some us take multivitamins to stay healthy. And others run or jog religiously, all to stay young. But it doesn’t work. Arthritis, mood changes, loss of libido and even depression

Two women, identical twins, whose father was an abusive alcoholic were studied when they were in their adult years. One woman was an alcoholic. When asked why she drank like she did, her answer was that she had no choice, she was a result of her upbringing.
When her sister was interviewed, it turned out that she abstained from all alcohol. When she was asked why she stayed away from all alcohol, her answer was the same as her sisters, that she really had no choice because of her upbringing.
And that is the dilemma. Your environment does seem to have a role in who you are, but how is it possible that these two women had such opposite outcomes?
How we react to….Read More
