Buddies
I have a very special granddaughter.
Well actually, I have four of them but we'll just limit our discussion to one of them today - the four-year-old.
I am also fortunate to have a very special mother.
Mom and my granddaughter (we'll just refer to her as "K") have a very special relationship.
It started the moment "K" came into our lives.
Even though Mom was nearly 90, "K" was immediately attracted to her.
Actually, "attracted" doesn't adequately describe their relationship.
It was more like they were long lost buddies who had been reunited after many, many years.It didn't make any difference who else was around.
The instant "K" walked in the door, she'd always head straight to Grandma.
That's what she would call Mom instead of Great Grandma.
They would talk and play dollies.
Talk and touch and smile and just be happy.
They were together and that's all that counted.When the weather was nice and Mom was able to be outside on the patio, "K" would take her dollies outside just so she could be close to Grandma.
And yes, they would talk and smile and be happy.
Now that I'm living several hundred miles away, I'm not there to enjoy this interaction between "K" and her Great Grandma.
But I understand that they are still great buddies.
If "K" is having a bit of a bad day, she and Mom will talk and it won't be long until "K" is feeling much better about whatever is happening in her young world.
If "K" isn't feeling well, Mom is there to give hugs, rubs or whatever it takes to help the healing process.
Most of the time though, I think it's the love that's doing the healing.
Love really is a potent medicine, you know.Buddies.
Talking and smiling ? and loving.
You just know there is a lot of love shared between "K" and her Great Grandma.
What a wonderful relationship between two people separated in age by almost ninety years.
I like to hear about it.
I enjoy hearing the nice things "K" tells her dad about this wonderful, continuing relationship and the nice things her Great Grandma does for her.
It really is special.
Very special.And I'm sure that Mom is enjoying it too.
It's not like it's a burdensome responsibility ? watching over a four year old child.
After all, they're buddies.
Always have been ? always will be.
I'm sure of that.The date on Mom's death certificate is May 5th, 2004.
Maybe it should be re-titled to "New Life" certificate instead.
It seems more appropriate somehow.PS:
I understand from "K" that Mom no longer needs her wheelchair.
Isn't that great?.
Food Health Values
Now let's take a look a the basic food elements in your perfect dietary plan; fruits and vegetables group, bread, cereals, rice and past groups, meats and beans group and dairy group. Each has different characteristics or helpful nutritional value for your dietary needs.Fruits and Vegetables ? Fruits have very little if any protein and fat. Instead, they have carbohydrates, generally fruit sugar or fructose and glucose. As Florida commercials tend to announce, fruits offer us vitamins, C and B to be exact, as well as potassium, fiber and other nutrients. While the sugar helps with maintaining blood sugar levels, vitamins and other nutrients help ward off sickness and disease, and fiber is important for waste disposal from the body.
Here is a peek at some fruits and their relationship to the perfect diet. Apples ? These help cleanse the system and aid lungs, and have been used as laxatives, for fainting, melancholy and palpitations. Apples have been known to help people with diabetes,...

Consumers Turning to Blogs for Beauty Advice on Everything From Lipstick to Foot Care Products
Before "blogging" became popular, digital communities took many forms, including Usenet, email lists and bulletin boards, enabling individuals with a common interest to interact and share their views.
In 2005, "blogging" has evolved into an important avenue for personal expression, for shaping public opinion, and for obtaining information on every topic imaginable.
According to the May 2, 2005, issue of Business Week, "Web logs are the most explosive development in the information world since the Net itself."For those not tech-savvy, and who may still be wondering what all the hubbub is about, a blog is often best described as a journal that's publicly available online. Most are run by one person, but sometimes several people contribute. Some are serious and some are quite personal.
Originally called a "weblog," the shorter term "blog" was coined by Peter Merholz in 1999, and its usage spread.
According to one of blogging's pioneers, Dave Winer of the...

Taking Back Your Power in Health Care
Taking Back Your Power in Health CareI was dismayed recently to see an article on the front page of the USA Today on the crisis in the cost in health care. Basically, the article was asking, "Who is to blame for the continual upward spiral in health care costs." Is it the doctors, the hospitals, the insurance companies or the individual needing the health care? I was dismayed because I had just come across a book about a "medicineless hospital" in China that has been effecting miracle cures for nearly two decades without the use of drugs or surgery. Impossible you say? Quite the opposite! The medicineless hospital uses the science of Chinese medicine, namely Qigong (chi-kung) which are simple movements to allow the body to regain energy (chi) which leads to abundant health. In this hospital, there are nearly 4,000 - 5,000 practitioners, doctors and patients all working together to allow health to return to the body naturally.One story about this medicineless hospital relates three "chi"...
