Guacamole

The avocado one very few if any that contains "fat".  The fat that is in the the avocado is of the healthy variety.  The avocado has long been neglected in our cuisine.  As we age our body needs fat for lubrication and as an avenue for nutrients to be stored and transported throughout all of it.  

There is a difference between good fat and bad fat.  Avocado contains good fat as it can be broken down by our bodies much easier than animal fat.   Guacamole is a type of spread or dip made from avocado mix with onions,  tomatoes,  peppers and salt, pepper, cilantro and lime juice.  This is now a delicious substitute for mayonnaise or ketchup.  Avocados are quite delicious and very nutritious and so should be included in our dietary plan.

Let it out!!!

With all the things that are happening in society today, every one's feelings get to be compressed and many people become couped up in themselves.   And one day POOF!  I am the kind of person that has realized the holding your feelings and thoughts inside can cause other more severe problems to their health.  High blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, stroke and depression can occur from holding all your thought inside.

Humans are in this life for an average of 70-80 years of age.  Without stress those years could have wonderful experiences.  The more our thoughts are suppressed the shorter these years will seem. Life without stress always is more pleasurable.  Being angry or sad and not talking your thoughts out, in the long run turn out to be harmful to you and sometimes other around.

Mood change...

Honey, how do you think I look?

Everyday we wake up there is something on our mind.  Some days we are happy and others we are grumpy.  Either way if we are not healthy it does not matter.  Women tend to fluctuate more with their moods more than men.  In order to satisfy others first we must take care of ourselves.  Every single person in this world has problems, some more than others.  What really should matter is health because without it other things have no meaning.

Make a Decisions Already....

Life is full of decisions and options.  What to do and what to say.  As humans we have a limited timeline where we can make effective decision and be able to enjoy the results.  When my parents were young, my father was into trying different businesses in order to make a better life for himself and his family.  My mother on the other hand was comfortable with living in one house with her husband and her son.  My mother loved children and wanted many.  My father loved children as well but loved and still loves himself more was satisfied with just having the one son.

 

When I got married and had my three sons, my mother was very happy and eager to help in the raising of my boys.  My father was also excited the he became a grandfather and would tell my mother that they should have had more children.  This comment would annoy mom and she would answer him, "You did not want them when I had them when we were young and now it is too late.""Just enjoy your grand children".
Her point was that everything in life has a time.  People should do thing in their time.  Doing things in other periods will not have the same results.  Being a parent is not for very late in life.  Just because you can physically have a baby at sixty three, does not guarantee that you will around to see the child grow up.  Most of the fun in having a child is to see it grow up.  If you are older and a baby come in your life, it is a blessing but you as a parent might not be around to see all the important things that will happen in it's life.  Who would want to push a baby carriage when they are ready for the wheelchair themselves?  
Not me!

Brothers argue...They say it is normal?

I am an only child and not used to arguing for every little thing in life.  Every now and then my sons have differences.  When  the arguments get out of hand they really take it far out of bounds.   I, as a person do not care for screaming and yelling and not to mention the use of physical harm to convey my message(S).  I have no brothers and/ or sisters to know that siblings have differences and sometimes they can get out of hand.

On occasion, my sons will engage in a conversation that will lead to silliness and even further to disaster.  Children need nurturing  even when they  get out of themselves.  My oldest son is seventeen and studying to take his road test for his driver's license.  Every time we as a family have some place to go, Peter, is a the steering wheel of our family car.  My second son Elias, who happens to be his junior by twenty-two months sits in the backs and always mumbles things that would annoy the driver.  

When Peter is concentrating on driving and everything surrounding him and the vehicle he is controlling, there is no reason for silly comments from the peanut gallery, that happens to be his brother.  As time passes I also discover that there is absolutely no reason for me as a parent to get in between there situation.  On  the other hand, I happen to be a passenger in the vehicle with every one and if I do not speak up the argument will escalate and a further disaster might ensue.
The line dividing the duties of a parent and those of a judge is very fine and delicate.   It is important to stay neutral but it is also necessary to keep my sanity.

Do not buy if you can not afford all the rest....

A friend of mine goes on a date.  It was nothing out of the ordinary except that she is a tall woman with long blond hair and and slender physique, hugely pretty.  She is asked out by this gentleman and they go to a very high end eating establishment.  Before the go in, he tells my friend that he is not  too hungry and that they should share an appetizer.  Hey!  this is how it is, if you can not afford it then you should not be going here.  If you want to be with someone that will elevate your stature, then this want is going to cost you and you should not be thinking about the "how much".  Instead you should be saying, "I am a lucky dog....uh-huh!"

When you close your eyes it all looks and feels the same.  If you want to keep your eyes open than my friend open your wallet and do not be afraid to spend.
We must never forget this great universal saying,  "money talks and bull-shit walks".
You drive a late luxury vehicle and you are dressed to the nine's.  You need to park and instead of pulling into a lot near the venue you have to be, you circle around looking for a cheap or free spot.  The dealer did not tell his customer that when they make a luxury purchase they should get into this mentality.  Luxury items need special pampering and better than usual maintenance.  Cheapskates should be barred from owning or even frequenting in places classified as luxury of exquisite quality.  Every single day I see vehicles being towed because they parked in the wrong spot not to pay for parking.

In the same way a person gets a pet but they do not realize that the pet needs care, love, food water and a bath and cleaning up after.  Everything in life has costs, both fixed and variable.   
Remember if you cannot  afford the upkeep then by the cheaper model.

Warm weather satisfaction

When I take trips to places with warmer climates my body feels much better than when I am in the cold damp places. Warm weather is better all around. A person eats less, dresses lighter and drinks more in the warm weather.

When it is to hot people request air-conditioning and when it is too cold, with the same vigor, request that the heat be turned up.  For the past few years I have developed sciatica and this during cold damp weather  makes me feel "loopy" and tired.
