Amish Furniture on the Front Porch

December 31, 2006

While shopping on line the other day at www.stoveramishfurniture.com, I looked at the Amish Hickory Rocker. Now I have looked at this rocker many a time, but I have never thought about it. Think about how many times a rocker like this, over the generations, has rocked a baby to sleep, or a grandpa. Think about those spring, summer and autumn nights on the porch watching the kids play on the streets, or just drinking a glass of cool sweet tea listen to the crickets.

Extras can be frozen and heated in the microwave for hot muffins anytime.

How To Wear Contact Lenses In The Allergy Season

December 28, 2006

The allergy seasons are a real challenge, especially if you wear contact lenses. A chronic allergy to mold, pet dander or other environmental allergens can create a year-round dilemma. No matter what the cause, seasonal allergies make your eyes hypersensitive and irritated. Ordinary soft contact lenses often make them feel even worse.

Wireless Meditation: Top Five Tips For Wherever-Whenever Mindfulness

December 27, 2006

The problem with meditation is attachment.

We get in the habit of needing our altar, favorite cushion, incense, CD, certain time of day, necessary length of time, or particular style of sitting. If we can’t do it the "right" way, we tend to skip it altogether. We get so attached to the trappings that we get a little testy if we don’t have everything just so.

December 27, 2006

Every where you look you see articles or news or stories on how America is overweight. This probably doesn’t surprise anyone, as you only have to take a quick look around to see that our lifestyles don’t promote good health. We drive in cars. We eat fast food. We sit in offices.
