			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Barbara Hemphill</p>
<p>Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday!  Family, friends, good food – and no presents to buy.  To make it your best holiday ever, consider these organizing tips:</p>
<p>• Choose your preferred style: formal with everyone dressed up and using their best manners – or a more informal relaxed style.  If you’ve invited more people than your dining table will seat, decide whether to add extra tables or a set up a buffet and use couches and occasional chairs for seating.  Arrange for extra chairs if necessary.</p>
<p>• Keep in mind the ages of the people involved – and choose a time for the meal that will fit their needs – young children may get too tired if you wait to sit down at 1:00 pm.  Consider seating for children based on ages.  Teenagers might enjoy the day more seated together.</p>
<p>• Ask guests to identify their favorite dish – include as many of them as possible. (If someone wants a pecan pie, and you don’t like to bake them, check out your local restaurant or bakery.)  Don’t assume you have to do everything – why not invite guests to bring a favorite dish?  (Or ask them to bring a table centerpiece or bottle of wine.)</p>
<p>• Plan your menu well in advance, make a shopping list, and purchase non-perishables at the same time you do your regular shopping. If you’re planning to use a fresh turkey, place your order early.</p>
<p>• Get out the table linens before Thanksgiving morning  – make sure you have the sizes you need, and check to see if they need to be laundered, or ironed.</p>
<p>• Select table decorations.  If you have children, involve them in the planning and execution of the celebration.  (My children loved to make turkey cookies!) Consider disposable Thanksgiving napkins.</p>
<p>• To save clean-up time, or if the family china is insufficient to accommodate the guest list, attractive holiday disposable tableware is a viable option. Be sure you have enough serving dishes and utensils for the quantities you will be serving.</p>
<p>• If you’re having a sit-down dinner, consider setting your table the day before to minimize last-minute stress.  Make a checklist of things to be done on Thanksgiving day in order or priority.</p>
<p>• Determine your clean-up strategy prior to dinner.  Do you want everyone to chip in and help – or would you prefer to spend the time with the family – and clean it up when they’re gone?</p>
<p>• When the day is over, make notes about anything you wish you had done differently – file your notes away for next year, and give Thanksgiving for another special day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In her article &#8216;Multidimensional retirement planning&#8217; independent <a href="http://features.us.reuters.com//personalfinance/news/N27376918.html">writer Linda Stern recommends at Reuters.com</a>:</p>
<p>&#8220;Having enough money is crucial for a comfortable retirement; having a lot of money is not. With 401k balances in the dumpster, this might be a good time to look at the other dimensions of retirement planning. Researchers say there are specific and measurable non-financial assets that folks should bring with them into retirement: Items like an exercise habit, connection to a religious community, and a good sense of self.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Self-awareness is highly predictive of success in retirement,&#8221; says Bill Bryan of Next Dance, a company that offers pre-retirement psychological testing and coaching. The factors that most affect how a person adapts and enjoys his retirement:<br />
1. attitude toward aging<br />
2. commitment to society<br />
3. self-awareness.&#8221;</p>
<p>A detailed checklist is offered to help you think about how little you actually have to spend in dollars to achieve each of the items:</p>
<ol>
<li>Knowing yourself.
<li>Being on the same page as your partner.
<li>A volunteer gig.
<li>Connections.
<li>Health and strength.
<li>The knowledge that change is the only constant.
<ol>

<p>50th wedding anniversary planning can be a bit stressful! 50 years of making friends and family can mean that there would be lots of people to invite and the expectation of a great party as well as a big mixture of ages can add to the pressure. Not that I am trying to put you off! If you plan your anniversary party then there will be no need to panic.</p>
<p>You first need to think about the type of party that your golden couple would enjoy. My aunt and uncle had a big party, organised as a wedding, complete with dancing but my grandparents enjoyed a family meal at one of their favourite restaurants. Which would they enjoy?</p>
<p>When you have worked out if you are inviting everyone or just family you will have a rough idea of numbers. You will now need to find the venue! Look at local hotels and function facilities, get menu samples, bar prices and if not included, the room hire. Also ask around, a local community hall could be just what you are looking for in space and also facilities. A number of community centres have their own kitchen and just ask that you clear up afterwards. This could save you a fortune. If the couple are members of a local social club or golf club they may have membership discounts to hire the room, plus this is a venue known to them and the service would be great, you may even get a few extras.</p>
<p>When you are looking around any of the possible venues think about the size of the room - is everyone going to be seated at tables. The location - is it easy to find for your guests that are travelling, is there overnight accommodation if needed? And the decor - would you need to spend lots to make the room look nice?</p>
<p>When you have all the information, the next stage in your 50th wedding anniversary planning is to collate all of the facts; prices, sizes, ease, minimum numbers etc. We find the best way to do this is to have all of the information on a spreadsheet so that you can compare apples with apples. When you have made your decision you will need pay a deposit to the venue to secure the date, and make sure you read the contract!</p>
<p>Now that the venue is booked you will need to organise invitations and possibly accommodation. It would be a good idea to contact local hotels for prices so that you could include a list of possible places that your guests could stay in the invitation. Don&#8217;t get involved in booking accommodation, let your guests do that otherwise you may find that this will take up most of your time. Get your guests to reply with any special dietary requirements</p>
<p>Discuss catering with the venue or with the caterer when you have your replies so that they have all the details of children&#8217;s meals or special needs. You will need to confirm numbers a couple of weeks before the party - check with your venue as to what is best.</p>
<p>Organise any decor - it could be flowers, balloons, candles and either book with the decor company or get your volunteers ready! You may want to get into the venue the night before to get everything in place. Make sure your venue knows this as they may have another function on.</p>
<p>If you want to have a special 50th anniversary cake then you will need to book this with a baker in advance, some people have replicas of their wedding cake or the wedding cake they always wanted, others will have fun cakes that show off their personality.</p>
<p>Venue booked, invitations sent and received back, numbers confirmed, decorations done, cake ready at bakers, all that is left is to have a great 50th anniversary party!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anniversaries are considered as days where an event is commemorated or celebrated for something memorable which happened on that same day as the initial event. In the case of wedding anniversaries, many couples find it a time to remember the day they took their wedding vows and can choose to celebrate the event in a lavish way with friends and families, or where they can spend it together in the solace of each others company. Whatever way the couple chooses, here are a few important anniversary years and gifts that are usually given to commemorate each special year.</p>
<p><b><u>1st Anniversary: </u></b></p>
<p>Traditional Gift: Paper - It symbolizes the strength in paper that comes from the interlaced connection of the paper&#8217;s individual threads.</p>
<p>Modern Gift: Clocks <b>-</b> Henry Van Dyke wrote, &#8220;For those who love, time is eternity.&#8221;</p>
<p><b><u>5th Anniversary: </u></b></p>
<p>Traditional Gift: Wood <b>-</b> The strength of a marriage bond is represented by the traditional gift of wood. Wood is strong and long-lasting.</p>
<p>Modern Gift: Silverware <b>-</b> The modern gift of silverware is a reminder of the connection couple formed as they shared meals with each other and their children (if any).</p>
<p><b><u>10th Anniversary:</u></b></p>
<p>Traditional Gift: Gold - Optimism and wealth are often associated with gold. Not only is the metal gold beautiful, it is strong, and resistant to corrosion.</p>
<p>Modern Gift<b><u>:</u></b> Diamond jewelry. A marriage that lasts ten years is as durable and beautiful as a diamond.</p>
<p><b><u>25th Anniversary:</u></b></p>
<p>Traditional Gift: Silver</p>
<p>Modern Gift: Silver - A great milestone for any marriage!</p>
<p><b><u>30th Anniversary:</u></b></p>
<p>Traditional Gift: Pearl</p>
<p>Modern Gift: Diamond</p>
<p><b><u>45th Anniversary:</u></b></p>
<p>Traditional Gift: Sapphire</p>
<p>Modern Gift: Sapphire</p>
<p><b><u>50th Anniversary:</u></b></p>
<p>Traditional Gift: Gold</p>
<p>Modern Gift: Gold - Optimism and wealth are often associated with gold. Not only is the metal gold beautiful, it is strong, and resistant to corrosion.</p>
<p><b><u>100th Anniversary:</u></b></p>
<p>Modern Gift: 10K Diamond</p>
<p>As mentioned, there are several ways to celebrate one&#8217;s anniversary; however, one popular and common theme is to renew your vows on that special day, as a reminder of what brought the couple together in the first place. When throwing a party, try to keep its décor in context with the symbols that represent the anniversary. For instance, make use of lots of silver glitter, plates and so on during a 25th wedding anniversary. Another way to make things interesting is to make plans to travel someplace new and exciting. Explore sights and sounds that have never been seen or heard of and it&#8217;s a sure way to rekindle or stoke the flames of a relationship. Other fun ideas include compiling a CD of music from that year of marriage, creating an anniversary scrapbook showing pictures of family and friends including couple.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many women have been seeking a more natural way to deal with menopause in recent times. This is because standard menopause treatments have side effects, i.e. hormone replacement therapy may increase the risk of cancer. Obviously the side effect mentioned is worrying, and some women will not want to take the risk, in this article we discuss foods that provide natural help with menopause.</p>
<p>If you are looking for natural help with menopause then you may end up using natural substances such as herbs and nutrients that help to relieve the symptoms of menopause that all women dread.</p>
<p align='right'><a href='http://mylastinglove.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/sojabeans_photo_luiz-baltar.jpg' title='sojabeans_photo_luiz-baltar.jpg'><img src='http://mylastinglove.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/sojabeans_photo_luiz-baltar.jpg' alt='sojabeans_photo_luiz-baltar.jpg' align='right' /></a>
</p>
<p>Outlined below are some natural substances you can use that help to relieve the symptoms of menopause:</p>
<p>Dong Quai - This is used to deal with pms, and many symptoms of menopause including hot flashes and vaginal dryness. It is probably best known for its ability to regulate the female reproductive system.</p>
<p>Black Cohosh - This herb is an excellent natural remedy for relieving the symptoms of menopause, particularly night sweats and hot flashes. It helps with menopause naturally and has no negative side effects.</p>
<p>Red Clover - This herb is believed to have a positive effect on the symptoms of menopause, it contains phytoestrogens which are believed to mimic the effects of estrogen in the body. This makes it a brilliant natural help with menopause.</p>
<p>Soy- Soy is another substance that contains phytoestrogens, this gives soy the ability to reduce the symptoms of menopause, the uncomfortable hot flashes.</p>
<p>Chastberry - This is another great herb that is great for natural help with menopause, it works by balancing the hormones during menopause, as a result of this it can provide relief against some of the symptoms.</p>
<p>Maca Root -  Maca root is very nutritious and has been labeled as a superfood. It contains vitamins and minerals as well as nutrients and proteins, as you can see consuming Maca root can only be beneficial to the body.</p>
<p>During menopause a woman&#8217;s hormones become unstable causing various symptoms such as chronic fatigue, vaginal dryness and mood swings amongst others. Maca root is believed to relieve these symptoms by correcting the hormone imbalance.</p>
<p>Maca root is also believed to reduce fatigue and the symptoms of PMS, increase libido, increase stamina, increase energy levels and endurance.</p>
<p>As you can see there are several substances that give natural help with menopause, they are all safe so you may consider trying some to see which ones work best. A word of warning though, if you decide to buy herbs, make sure you buy them from a reputable seller, Unfortunately there are many rogue traders out there who sell dodgy herbal products. You can normally tell when a herbal product is dodgy, because they tend not to have labels on them. All reputable sellers label their products. When taking any form of herbal product make sure you don&#8217;t exceed the stated dose, which will be on the label. And finally before taking any herbal products it is advisable that you speak to your doctor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mylastinglove.com/learn-how-to-love-yourself-part-1/">Continuation of part 1 of the article:</a></p>
<p>The worst feeling in the world is being unloyal to one&#8217;s self. Nothing is worse than this!</p>
<p>How many times did we ignore what we felt, to please someone else. How many times did we say to our Inner Child “Shut up, you are not important, the other one is far more important than you are, go away, I don’t want to hear you, I don’t want to see you”? Awful isn’t it? And we do this every time we let come the desire of the other one before ours.</p>
<p>This little Charlotte inside, what will she do? She will give up after a while. After trying a long time to show her emotions, she will give up. She will get very tired of all this and she will say :”It doesn’t matter, she doesn’t love me, she doesn’t want to take care of me, I’m not worth it”, and she will get depressed.</p>
<p>Of course you will think you get depressed because of others, because of your work, because of your children, because of your husband or parents.<br />
It is nobody’s fault. But you have to learn how to take care of this Inner Child which is suffering from your lack of attention to her.</p>
<p>When, after getting depressed things still don’t change, there’s one weapon left to catch your attention : little Charlotte will get sick. Or she will get an accident. Maybe that way the adult Charlotte will learn to give finally attention to her Inner Child, which is as real (if not more) as a real child of flesh and blood.</p>
<p>You need to learn how to be a loving parent for yourself.</p>
<p>What does that mean?</p>
<p>First you need to develop an Inner Mother. If you were lucky and had a loving caring mother, you can take her as an exemple. Otherwise you need to invent, to create this Inner Mother, which is your feminine caring energy. Everytime you have an emotion, your Inner Mother should ask your Inner Child : “What happens, my darling?” Listen to what your Inner Child has to say. Than you go on with the dialogue. Inner Mother says : “Come here. Come in my arms, I love you as you are. I love you with what you feel.”<br />
Doing that, the heaviness of the emotions will drop pretty much. Than you say these words : “I understand”. These words are very important, because most of the time we don’t feel very “normal” having the feelings we have and we try to ignore or suppress them, which makes them heavier. “I understand, my darling, come here in your Mothers arms, I love you.”<br />
Stay with these words and feelings for a while, and than ask :” What do you need?”<br />
Whatever the Child answers, you say : “We will ask this of your Father”.</p>
<p>And here starts the task of your Inner Father, who is there to protect you and to act for you in the outside world. You would never send a four-year old asking for a raise at work or getting to resolve a conflict at school or with the neighbours, would you? So why do you try it? Send out your Inner Father to take care of whatever you have to do in the outside world. Your Inner Father is your male energy, which enables you to make decisions, to take action, to follow your inner guidance (which is located in you Inner Child, also called Intuition) and to manifest your Child’s desires in the world.</p>
<p>When your Child has a need, for instance to call someone or to go somewhere to arrange something, imagine that your Inner Child stays at home with his Mother who takes care of his feelings (“I understand you’re afraid…”) and that your Inner Father (another part of your being) goes out there to act. Your Inner Father is that part of you which is able to handle stress, to take action, to arrange conflicts and all other stuff that has to do with the outside world. If that part is missing because you didn’t have a good model when you were little yourself, you will have to create and develop it.</p>
<p>Of course your Inner Child, Mother and Father are all parts of you. It is all you. It is just a model to understand what is happening inside you and how you can learn to love yourself.</p>
<p>Loving yourself is listening to your Inner Child, taking his emotions seriously, understanding what he feels and taking action in the desired direction. Loving yourself is having this dialogue with yourself every morning when you open your eyes, every evening when you go to bed, and every time you have an emotion.</p>
<p>Loving yourself is building a strong inner connection with yourself.<br />
It is creating your own loving family, inside you. You will never feel alone anymore. You are already three! Call it your Trinity. Wherever you go, from now on you go with your Inner Family. Your are not alone. You are loved and you are protected. You listen to yourself and take care of that precious little Child that has been waiting for so long to get your attention and love.</p>
<p>This is inner healing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Ineke Van Lint</p>
<p>I’m sure you read a lot of times this sentence : you need first to love yourself.<br />
But what does that mean? Is it about getting you a hot chocolate when you are cold? Is it about getting you a new dress when you feel like it? Is it doing whatever you want when you want it? Is it about putting warm clothes on when it’s freezing outside?</p>
<p>Loving yourself means to learn to treat you like a loving parent would do with his child.</p>
<p>When you are an adult, and I assume you are, you still have an Inner Child inside you. These are your emotions. At that level you still react like a child of 3-4 years old. Your emotions can not get older or mature. But you can get mature. You can learn how to respect them and how to handle them. You can learn how to take care of this Inner Child.</p>
<p>When you are not aware of your Inner Child, you try to live in an adult world like a 4-year old boy or girl. You feel all alone, afraid of the big nasty world there outside, not knowing what to do, where to ask for help, how to protect you. This is a very difficult way of doing. You will always feel afraid, fearful, doubtful, tired. It is hard to try to survive as a child in a grown up world. You will feel angry and afraid most of the time, and lost.</p>
<p>Why is that? Because nobody takes care of that Little Child inside you.<br />
Let’s say your name is Charlotte. You are 42 years old. Inside you lives the little Charlotte. She’s four. When you are busy in the outside world taking care of other people, of business, of getting around, of doing a thousand things every day, the little Charlotte will feel overlooked. When you’re always running to help others, to make sure their needs are fulfilled, you will be exhausted every night and cry in your bed. Sometimes you will get temper tantrums. You will feel very angry without any reason (but still there is one, a big one!).</p>
<p>All these big emotions are attempts from your Inner Child to get your attention.<br />
Imagine you have, besides your children, husband, collegues, parents, friends, a little four-year old girl named Charlotte. Nobody ever notices her. Nobody takes care of her. Whenever she tries to tell something and get some attention, you shout to her “Shut up!”. You say “I have to take care of my parents, my work, my husband, my paperwork, my friends, my other children, my house… I don’t have time for you!”</p>
<p>How do you think she will feel? What do you think she will do? First she will try to get your attention by showing big emotions. She will cry a lot, she will scream and shout, maybe she’s getting aggressive from time to time. You think you’re angry at the outside world, but it is Your Inner Child that is angry with YOU! She’s sad and angry because you don’t care about her! You act as if she doesn’t exist! Nothing is worse than acting as if our Inner Child doesn’t exist. This means trying to live as if WE don’t exist.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everything in life changes.  Probably the only thing that doesn’t change is change itself.  Life is a constant change.  Everyone has to adapt to these changes in order to live.  Some changes may not be favorable and can throw people into depression.  Other changes are welcomed opportunities and can uplift our spirits.  Still, there are changes that are only unique to women.</p>
<p>Menopause is a change a woman usually expects to experience when she reaches the age 40 and above.  Menopause occurs when the ovarian function starts to decline.  Accordingly, estrogen level also decreases.  The decrease in estrogen level creates various irregularities in a woman’s menstrual cycle.  </p>
<p>With the decrease in estrogen level comes also the declining amount and duration of the menstrual flow.  Spotting, episodes of amenorrhea or lack of menstrual periods and abnormally frequent menstruations, or polymenorrhea, are also characteristic signs of a decreased ovarian function.  It has been observed that these irregularities can last between a few months to several years before the actual cessation of menstruation occurs.</p>
<p>A woman may not know it, but there are a lot of changes she undergoes during and after menopause.  Her body’s system may experience various changes, which usually occur after the complete cessation of menstruation.  During menopause, a woman’s reproductive system undergoes changes; including the shrinkage of the vulval structures and the loss of some subcutaneous fats.  Menopause also causes flattening of the vaginal rugae.  </p>
<p>These changes are usually the reasons why women experience bleeding after sexual contact or douching.  Furthermore, changes in the reproductive system after menopause cause vaginal itching, discharge from bacterial invasion and capillary loss in the atrophied vaginal walls.  Vaginal dryness and decreased lubrication from the vaginal walls are also caused by menopause.  Additionally, the declining level of estrogen during menopause results in progressive pelvic relaxation.</p>
<p>During menopause, the urinary system also undergoes a lot of changes.  The declining estrogen level causes atrophic cystitis.  This condition results in frequent urination, pyuria or the presence of pus in urine and incontinence.  Menopause can also cause a change in the mammary system resulting in a reduced size of a woman’s breasts.  Menopause can also affect the integumentary system.  The integumentary system is the system in our body consisting of the skin, hair and nails; all of which protects our body from the external environment.  Estrogen deprivation during menopause results in the loss of skin elasticity, loss of pubic and axillary hair and can sometimes even cause alopecia.  M</p>
<p>enopause can also cause changes in a woman’s autonomic nervous system.  The changes in the autonomic nervous system are the reasons why a woman under menopause experiences hot flashes and night sweats.  These are occurrences that affect almost 60% of all women in menopause.  The changes in a woman’s autonomic nervous system are the reasons why menopausal women experience vertigo, rapid heart beat or tachycardia, shortness of breath and irritability.  </p>
<p>Emotional disturbances are also classic signs of women in menopause.  These emotional disturbances include nervousness, irritability and bouts of anger.  All these are also caused by autonomic nervous system changes during menopause.  Menopause can also stimulate osteoporosis and atherosclerosis.  The decrease in estrogen level during menopause has been linked to osteoporosis.  However, its effect has not been clearly indicated with atherosclerosis.</p>
<p>Finally, all these changes a woman experiences during menopause can affect how she looks at life during and after menopause.  Positively accepting these changes will give her a new and exciting life ahead, after menopause.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To love your elderly friend entails understanding some of their needs or demands. It also entails tender loving care and human warmth and compassion.</p>
<p align='right'><a href='http://mylastinglove.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/love_for_cookiesana-schaeffer.jpg' title='love_for_cookiesana-schaeffer.jpg'><img src='http://mylastinglove.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/love_for_cookiesana-schaeffer.jpg' alt='love_for_cookiesana-schaeffer.jpg'  align='right' width='250' /></a>
</p>
<p>1)  Visit regularly- Some elderly people tend to lose touch of their &#8220;older&#8221; friends. Either most are deceased or have some type of illness or health condition. It is very common for your elderly friend to have &#8220;out-lived&#8221; their best buddies and closest family members even.</p>
<p>2)  Remember Holidays- Some elderly people are very lonely during the holidays and it is always a great idea to visit or call your elderly friend during these days. You will be amazed how valued you will become in their eyesight and they will simply love you for doing so.</p>
<p>3)Remember Birthdays- A birthday is always a special day to most. Although, not all elderly people suffer forms of dementia; however if your elderly friend seems a bit forgetful at times- you may want to remind them a few days leading up to their birthday that the birthday is coming soon. Once the day has come- do something very special for them. Think of the things they talk about most doing or having and surprise them with a favorite.</p>
<p>4) Buy Needed Items- When you are visiting or around your elderly friend, notice some of the things that they seem not to have; but desperately need to make life a bit easier and more efficient for them. It could be something as simple as a soft comfortable pair of slippers, maybe a handy storage bag for storing handy/quick items, clothes with custom made handy features to make dressing/undressing easier, handy apparatus,etc. Your elderly friend may not even seem to care or realize that the &#8220;handy gifts&#8221; you are giving them are necessary.</p>
<p>5) Check Ups- Frequently touch basis to see if your elderly friend is taking care of their  health needs, such as routine physicals and check-ups. If they need medication alerts to remind them to take their meds. in a timely fashion&#8230;ask or discuss how you can assist, if needed to do so. Encourage them to drink the require amt. or water each day and push healthy eating habits. The doctor could have very well prescribed a diet as well&#8230;If so suggest tips to help your friend maintain the diet.</p>
<p>6)  Pay Attention- Pay attention to anything unusual or different about your elderly friend; Such as a change in physical appearance, a change in behavioral, a change in eating habits, a change in health status, a change in anything that you feel remarkably different. Report and address these changes to the proper source.</p>
<p>7) Outings- If your elderly friend can tolerate fun &#8220;outings&#8221; or recreational ventures&#8230;.There is nothing like a breath of nature! Or simply volunteer to take them to their favorite spots, it could be in the park viewing the beautiful trees and the birds or kids playing. It could be a stroll through a beautiful garden or nature walk. If your friend does not like the outdoor, respect that and do fun inside activities with them depending on how well they are able to tolerate them.</p>
<p>The most crucial thing in dealing with your elderly friend is to be there for them when they need you the most. Let them know that you are &#8220;on their side&#8221; and that you love them and will be around. Let them know that regardless of any &#8220;age complications&#8221; or stresses that you will oversee their best  interest due to your love for them-if they will allow you to do so.  Your elderly friend whether mentally challenge or not will at-least be able to &#8220;feel&#8221; the gentle wisp of air that blows &#8220;genuine&#8221; LOVE.</p>

<p>It may come in an array of programs and processes not always obvious at first sight, or even second or third sight.</p>
<p>This doesn’t mean a total love of self with the vast array of creams, tonics, health food, and vitamins available. This would be called respect if presented in the right amount, combination and need.</p>
<p>Many of us who are passing through the now ‘later’ middle years have had the experience of caring for or tending to someone less fortunate.</p>
<p>To some this may be presented as a negative experience but if given the Godly attitude required will give a focus, a plan that sometimes needs changing and an expression of His love. The criticism of decisions and choices may be strong and vocal from some but this is none of their business.</p>
<p>If this Anti -Aging is done without resentment or special favor from any post natal benefit the effects to body and mind may not always  be happiness, peace and fulfillment. A focus of relevance has been provided and so has a reason for a strong mind and healthy heart. The others will come.</p>
