 I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!I know one of our family traditions was to go around the table at Thanksgiving and say what we were thankful for. I know it is a tradition some families do, although I don't think gratitude needs to be saved for a special Holiday. As I reflect, I am so very grateful for many things in my life. Since it is Black Friday, and I am thankful for my lovely readers, I want to share some of the on-line sales.

Happy Friday!Well, it has been raining non-stop here and weve had freezing temps. Someone tell Mother Nature it is still Fall! I often decide on topics for the blog, as I am thinking of things that relate to me personally. I have been thinking about things that "keep us young", as I wrote about laughter and the importance of keeping things light, in this blog post- Why Laughter is the Best Medicine.  Lately, I have been thinking about how my life has changed in the last 10 years.

Happy Friday everyone!Today I thought I would write a bit of a fun post just talking about how important it is to "let your hair down", and relax, not taking life too seriously. My mom will tell me how much she loves my sense of humour, and that I need to show it more. I can be serious at times, but I love to joke around, be sarcastic, have fun and not take things too seriously.  Read my post-Not Letting Go of Your Child-Like Spirit. You all have heard "Laughter is the best medicine." It is so true!

Happy Friday my friends!Well, this is perhaps what I should be asking you!  I think it is one of those wonderful powers of Menopause, the problem of insomnia. I take meds to sleep, but would prefer other methods to try and that is why I wrote about it. Sleep is so important,  Dr. Buxton, a neuroscientist, in the Division of Sleep Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, says that sleep can be disrupted by both medical causes and environmental. If you have restless leg, or sleep apnea, it is best to see a physician for this type of sleep disorders. " However, I feel the day to day, lack of sleep, often from worry, loud noises ( planes over head ( we have this) or excessive caffeine are some things we may be able to control. Making our living space very peaceful and comfortable is one way.

 Happy Friday friends!Just back from PA last night, and I am beat! Looking forward to a relaxing weekend.As I write this, I was hoping to finish our final steps in preparation for a visit to Italy in the Fall. We had planned on visiting Rome and the Almalfi Coast, staying in the Sorrento area. My hubby has begun his Italian journey by studying Italian on an app called Duo Lingo. As I witnessed some of his lessons, I thought to myself, "sure it is fun to learn another language, especially if one is to visit the area." However, having learned mostly individual vocabulary words of Spanish in high school, with little context and communication, I thought, It would be best to focus on those phrases I would most likely USE and NEED in Italy.

 Happy Friday ladies!It's funny how i come up with some of my blog topics. A thought may strike me early in the morning, or before bed. I have a journal right by my bed and I will write down an idea or topic. What made me think of this subject was just my own introspection of jobs i have worked and just me being in a place where I enjoy doing what i am doing. I also think about what has changed in my life, and how I have handled that change.

Morning ladies and Happy Friday!August is Gastropersis Awareness Month and I thought I would share with you what it is and how I manage to eat with this illness. I am going to share today some of the health challenges I face, and how I keep wellness and nutrition in my mind, daily. Years ago, when learning about my Ehlers-Danlos diagnosis, I went to the hospital to undergo an X-Ray for how long it took for food to digest in my stomach, as I already has stomach issues diagnosed as "IBS" years ago and I was still having problems. I don't like to necessarily talk a lot about my disease, but I do like to inform, and raise awareness, if someone else recognizes symptoms or is having difficulty.

Morning friends!Do you have the same routine each day? Does it vary much? Or do you experience "Ground Hog Day?"Well, if you are familiar with the 1993 Film staring Bill Murray, "Ground Hog Day' , then you may understand.  In the film, Bill Murray's character, TV Weatherman, Phil Conners, while covering the annual Punxsawtony Groundhog Day event, is caught in a time loop, repeating the same day over and over again.  I can't believe "Ground Hog Day" the movie, turns 25, and there are still many lessons that are applicable today.  There have been times, where working as a blogger at home, I wake up and say to my hubby , "Its Groundhog Day" realizing that my routine has not varied in some time. Could you imagine a time where you would be caught in a loop, in time, each day being the same??
