Things to ponder and pray about.....

First of all, let's remember Christy's dad, Tam Wilson as he undergoes open heart surgery this week. She left a blog comment that her dad is still in the hospital and needs our prayers.

I may blog later but I'm having a hard time putting my thoughts together. I did receive this via e-mail and I thought it was good food for thought.

Until later, love to all!

Happy New Year!

A Great Recipe for a peace-filled life in 2009

1. Take a 10 to 30 min. walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
5. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wildAlaskan sal mon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts
.6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
7. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment
