oh wow! what has been happening in our world lately is pretty much a trip. Sad things too. you know i have been pretty much busy with life. and i think it is all all right. I have been working on a book. nonfiction you know. i find it challenging to write a book. with what i went through when i was growing up.... wow. what Jesus has brought me through was a lot of stuff. i guess life can be hard and challenging and all. but hey...look to Jesus for all your needs in life, Jesus and Father God will take care of you. You just keep doing right and follow Jesus and you will be all right.

oh wow!! what a month

 oh yes. first thing first. if you visit my g blog it does have cookies on my site. i think that these cookies take information from your site if you visit my site. i am not sure what will happen to your site but i am just giving a word of knowledge. 

hmm. what do i write 'what a month.' what i mean to say is 'oh what about these last few months.' i mean dang everything just went kind of crazy in a matter of short months. wow. wow.

God says 'if you turn from your wicked ways I will forgive you and heal your land but if you don't '. wow i  say do that. if you are a Christian just submit to God and turn from your wicked ways. 

what i think is to do what God has instructed to do. i think there may be some people of the faith that may be bound by the devil. i think that if you read your Bible everyday it may break the spell of the hold that the devil holds on you. just my thoughts of the day. peace.

Yes I need to get it together and well i am. The kind of get it together means that it will take years and all and that is alright. hm well write me and let me know what your together means.

Hi all. 

Well here i am again, months or years later and you know what? Nothing much changed with life. I mean everything is always going on in the world. And you know what? I am happy about our recent election for  the Executive office. Ha, i think the world gave a sigh of relief. Hey I am just sayin. I mean there is so much going on in the world we needed leadership that is somewhat rough around the edges and all of that. What i mean to say is that  we needed someone in the oval office that wasn't scared  to make a tough decision. We needed someone that is fierce and  all of that. I think we need to grow our military forces a little more. We needed a leader that is more to the point. And forget the honeymoon period let's get down to business you know what i mean? I think a lot of people of faith voted last election. And our whole nation needs prayer and all of that you know. Well thanks for listening to my thoughts about all of the mess we are in. With North Korea acting the way they are and countries not knowing what to do with them, hnn I say cut them off and shoot down all of their missiles. Well this is just all of my thoughts. Write me and tell me what you think.

Thanks g 

How I Remedied My Blood Presure

So there I was at the hospital feeling quite light headed and pretty much all over the place. I wasn't sure what was going on except that I knew I needed help. The medication I was on was giving me a pain and frankly it didn't help much. I just didn't know if I would end up in the hospital. So they took my vitals and the nurse on call asked me if I had high blood pressure? I replied "no". In fact for a few months my blood pressure was on the brink of becoming high blood pressure. With my strange sleeping habits that didn't help much either. With me, for my blood pressure to be normal I would have to sleep sound every night and that had not been happening. Also with my allergies and asthma I know these health issues didn't help much. I was very much over weight and I didn't eat right or I just didn't eat the right types of food most of the time and my job and home life were pretty much erratic. I know someone who has high blood pressure and as a matter of fact this person is a close relative of mine. I know I didn't, just couldn't, really didn't want anymore medications prescribed to me unless I really needed to take them. I wanted to be medication free and healthy.

So I Researched

So while I was in school I did a paper on high blood pressure and during my research I found out that I could be doing a lot of activities so my blood pressure wouldn't turn into high blood pressure. I found out that I could remedy my own blood pressure. I really shouldn't had worried because I only had one symptom, fatigue or confusion, but I worried anyway. I even got more worried when I read that if high blood pressure gets bad enough and it is left untreated it could lead to a heart attack or a stroke. Yes, untreated high blood pressure could lead to all sorts of illnesses that could prove to be quite fatal. So I thought to myself.. 'I have got to get my weight under control, eat less junk food, get more exercise, get more rest at night and drink more water. I just wanted to get my 120/80 blood pressure reading back. Since high blood pressure, along with diabetes, runs in my family, I really needed to get to work working namely on nutrition and exercise.

A Little About Nutrition and Diet

I already knew about nutrition - healthy foods minus junk foods + extra water. So I started eating leaner cuts of meats and lots of chicken and fish. I even went and bought canned sardines and tuna in pouches. I found that shopping for fish on a limited income really helped with the bills. I would buy sardines in mustard sauce, sardines in hot sauce and sardines in soy bean oil. I would make a meal of it and have them with brown rice and a side of vegetables. I found these meals easy to prepare and very economical. I would eat more fruits and vegetables and when money got tight I would go to a dollar store and buy frozen vegetables from there. I would also go to the grocery store and buy vegetables from the reduced vegetable bin and save a lot of money that way. For chicken I would wait for it to go on sale and then buy a lot of it. I would take it home and rewrap it into smaller portions for dinner size. I also started buying bagged dry beans which I found to be very economical also. To save on grain I would just buy brown rice. Salt never has been a big problem for me. I just use it in cooking meals and I don't add it to my dinner plate. For water out of the tap I would just filter it to get the chlorine taste out.

A Little About Exercise

I have found that a little exercise goes a long way. I normally walk everywhere I go. To stores for shopping for groceries and what we need around the house. I try to get out most days and walk for about  a half hour. If I'm in for a while I do some stretching and toning for about an hour, when I feel up to it. When I feel energetic I use to put on my belly dancing vhs tape. Well that was when the vhs player worked. Since I have been more active I find that I am much more calm and I can sleep at night.

But don't get me wrong cause I still like a little ice cream and crunchy potato chips and candy every so often but I just don't over do it, And I don't always exercise like I should but I did take some steps to help with my blood pressure and I have to say that the steps to help with my blood pressure and I have to say that the steps I did take helped a lot.



Thanks for reading, I will be writing more later.

What's Coming Up!

Hey everyone, I will be writing short blogs and essays. You know my take on what is happening in the world. I think I will write more blogs and short essays, like what is on my mind. I keep a journal and I do alot of writing in it. well, see you in a bit!

Hi Everyone!

well here we are after Thanksgiving and I already took care of the roast turkey. We had a lot left so I striped the turkey down to the bone. I put all the dark meat together and the white meat I put in some sandwich bags and the carcass I broke in half and frozen it for turkey soup. I thought I would make us another turkey for Christmas but no I think we will have Cornish game hen. So Thanksgiving was real relaxing. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

December will be here soon to. Wow time if flying by so quickly. But I think we will not have visitors this year. I think everyone is chillin out after the Holidays or they will be chillin out. I feel like I want to have a road trip....want to go back home...see how everyone is doing. I miss my family around the Holidays especially. I wonder how everyone is. Just wondering. I should call my Dad and wish him a good Christmas.

Wow, just looking outside and it sure is quiet outside and not many people are out. The days are getting shorter. I think the shortest day of the year is in December. At first I thought that the shortest day is in January but no I was wrong. Oh well. I don't miss Facebook, people got a little fruity about stuff and even people liked me and picked me to be friends on Facebook they were all to busy to be bothered with other people. Ok and what was all the poking about? I didn't stay on long enough to really get good at surfing Facebook so oh well.

Well I gotta take off ,,,,,got some things to do. I will be writing soon.


God Bless
