We all want to believe in something. Isn't that the truth? I don't care where you come from or where you've been, how you were raised, or how old you are, you want to believe that there is something great out there. This is only natural. Human beings aren't immortal by any means, and they do grow old and pass on. There are no two ways about it. This is why so many people choose to follow a faith and believe in a higher power. It's a security blanket of sorts. Trusting that there's something better after this physical life is extinguished keeps us motivated and happy. It doesn't take a religious article or trip to church to see that.
It's funny how the human mind works. Take my mother in-law for example. The woman has never been religious, nor has she ever even resembled someone who's religious. As far as i knew, she had no faith in a deity at all. Then one bright and shiny day she read a religious article online, and POOF. Suddenly she had faith and believed in a higher order of things. Now, some may say that this is because she saw the "light, " but I think it's related to the fact that she's now over 60 and feeling uneasy about death. As our time runs low here, we want to believe more than ever. You wouldn't believe how many people suddenly get faith or take-up a Religion in their golden years. It's like all of the sudden they want some almighty being to accept them and care for them after death. Actually, that's exactly what it is. I suppose a random religious article or encounter with a religious individual could have a powerful effect on an older individual or someone approaching death's door.
Does the branch of Religion matter? This is an excellent question that I've pondered most of my life. I truly think that believing in God is believing in God. Just because a biased religious article tells you that Catholic is the only way to heaven doesn't make it so. Remember, these are all subjective pieces written by men and women. No God ever wrote a religious article on how Muslim is the only true Religion. You have to choose your own beliefs and Trust What you Feel is Right.

Learning to make Lemonade
No, this isn't a recipe for a drink. It's a recipe for life.
We all come upon problems, either self-imposed or from elsewhere, often from the least expected places. Little or big, easily managed or seemingly devastating, they all can lead to growth and a path to the good life.
When we're in the midst of the problem, it is not easy to think that this pain, this sidetrack, can lead to anything that could resemble good, but even if we can't think that way in the midst of angst, the outcome can work to our benefit.
How many people will describe a horrible incident that happened to them years ago and attribute a successful outcome to that incident? Is this just a nice way to justify the pain and suffering or is this really true?
No doubt there are lessons to be learned from those hard times, but I think the key to using them to grow a good life is being able to consciously learn from them.
For most of us, though, when we're going through a difficult time we are less than conscious of what is happening and how we are reacting. Interviews of people who have been involved in car crashes, muggings, fires and the like, will describe blanking out at crucial times, not able to remember after a particular point in the incident.
That blanking out, functioning on "automatic pilot, " as many say, happens in all manner of situations, some not as dramatic as a fire or car crash, but as mundane as an argument with someone.
It is an important survival tactic that helps move us through severe physical and emotional pain and fear. Without it, we might become immobilized and unable to save ourselves or help others escape a tragedy.
We hear stories of heroism and may wonder how that person found the strength to surmount the catastrophe which confronted him. He will tell you that he just did it, not thinking of the dire consequences that could have fallen on him or even of the danger confronting him.
In the recent collapse of the 35W bridge in Minneapolis, a school aide initiated the rescue of about 50 children from their school bus precariously lodged against the railing of the fallen bridge. When asked by a reporter how it is that he did such an heroic thing, he looked somewhat embarrassed and befuddled. His answer didn't come easily or smoothly, more of "I just did it" response. He really didn't know.
No doubt he was in that time between consciousness when he responded to the situation without thought to personal outcome. How he uses this incident in his life is, of course, yet to be determined. Will he use it to rise to a level that he probably would not have achieved without this trauma or will it be the chain around him that keeps him from attaining what he considers success? We may never know the effect of this major event on his life, but it will have an effect.
Is there a way to get a positive effect from a trauma, in other words, to make life's lemonade? There are many studies that show this is not only a possibility but that it happens frequently. There is even now a budding branch of psychology, of which i am a student, which studies and implements techniques that make these positive effects. It is called positive psychology and is quite different from illness-based psychology which seeks to find and treat disorders in individuals which make for long term trauma and problems in living.
The Recipe
1. Feeling the sorrow of a trauma is normal and natural and part of what is described as the "healing process. " The school aide will feel this, as will those who survived the catastrophe and those who helped them afterwards. Some try to deaden the pain of the trauma by using alcohol or drugs, prescription or illicit, but this will only stall the process, not bypass it.
2. Some situations will not have great trauma, they will be smaller problems. All situations will need to be consciously considered if something useful is to be gotten out of them. That is, we must determine
(1) what occurred,
(2) why it occurred,
(3) how we handled it to our benefit or detriment,
(4) what we can learn from it that we can use from here on out,
(5) how we can implement what we have learned.
3. The realization that life is made up of happiness and sorrow is an important defense against the effects of long term depression and an unhappy life. A patient of mine told me, years later, that when i first made that statement to her she thought I might be a bit crazy myself. It was only after overcoming her own life's difficulties did she understand my meaning. Life is wonderful, but don't expect an easy ride-you will be disappointed.

Cold Picnic Foodstuff That one could Make In A snap
A Picnic spread need not be a complicated affair. Offering Cold food items makes the menu easier to control. There will be less things to bring and fewer cleanups afterwards.
A favorite Picnic item is sandwiches. In the not so distant past a sandwich consisted of two slices of bread with a slice of lunch meat sandwiched between them. Sandwiches have been given a facelift in recent years.
To add variety to ordinary sandwiches, choose from different breads. Sandwiches are being made from pitas, flatbreads, and tortilla wraps. Cut the bread the night before and store in an airtight container.
Select meats from the deli counter at the grocery store. Fresh turkey breast, ham, chicken breast, and salamis are available. Store the sliced deli meats in the freezer. The morning of the Picnic, take them out so they can slowly thaw and stay Cold until they are ready to be devoured.
Condiments can spell trouble for picnic-goers Refrigerate mayonnaise derived Foodstuff and dips until ready to pack the cooler for the Picnic. To eliminate having condiments containers sitting out without refrigeration, use condiment packets like the ones they give out at fast food restaurants.
Salads of all types are great Cold Picnic options. Macaroni or potato salad is best when served Cold. If your gathering is large, investing in single serving plastic cups with lids will avoid bringing too much to the Picnic. When mayonnaise based salads come to room temperature they begin to get soupy and could spoil.
Instead of a fruit salad, bring along whole fruits. Fruit need not be refrigerated. It can be cleaned off before you leave home and kept from the light in a paper bag. Choose a variety: apples, peaches, oranges, plums, and etc. Fruit makes a health-conscious dessert option than ice cream or candy. Plus it has natural sweetness.
Individual bags of chips and other snacks eliminate lots of hands from dipping in the same bag, dirty and clean. It also eliminates opened bags of chips that need to be transported home. Picnickers get more variety this way without spending a fortune on snacks. It also allows everyone to choose the snacks or chips they prefer so everyone gets what they prefer most.
Nuts Make an easy snack for a Picnic. They do not need refrigeration and can be transported easily. For easy handling by others, separate nuts into individual snack bags. Any bags that are not eaten can be poured back into the can to be eaten later.
Cold food items equal an easy and simple Picnic menu. There is no need to use a barbecue. The majority of Foodstuff can be packaged separately for less mess and convenience of serving even with large family picnics.

Replace fruit drinks and sodas with flavored tonic water and fresh fruit juice. Drink boxes containing pure fruit juice are relatively inexpensive and Kids love the individual boxes, complete with straws.
Make it Fun
The secret is in the presentation. Arrange an assortment of Healthy Foods in a fun way on your child's plate. You can include smiley faces made from raisins or nuts and choose foods that are colorful. Kids will eat most things if they are presented in a unique design that makes eating fun.
Healthy Dinner
Dinnertime can include homemade pizza topped with cheese and vegetables, or soft tacos made with shredded chicken and cheese.

Effective Natural skin care Recipes for Facial Cleansing
The empress Cleopatra was legendary not only for her leadership over one of the ancient world's most powerful empires which was Egypt. She was also known for her astonishing beauty. It is said that the queen had secret Natural skin care Recipes that she used to retain her youthful and glowing skin. According to historians, she regulalrly soaked herself in a bath tub filled with rose petals and milk. The specially prepared bath mixture kept her skin soft and moisturized even in the middle of the Egyptian desert.
People of the Old World actually used a number of different natural materials as organic Natural skin care treatments. Honey is another ingredient that was used by Cleopatra and other people who lived during ancient times. As with many common pantry items, honey has made its name as a sugar replacement and natural remedy for various ailments. In the past, it was also used as a natural skin moisturizer not only by Egyptians but also by the Greeks. Like honey, olive oil was also used as part of an all-natural Natural skin care recipe.
At present, these natural products are being packaged and marketed by lage companies who deal in Natural skin care lines. They have created new products that serve as moisturizers, exfoliants, toners, all from nature-based substances. These companies have captured a large chunk of the Natural skin care market due to the promise of producing hypo-allergenic, chemical-free natural products for Natural skin care.
However, aside from choosing an Effective, all-natural product, both men and women should also consider the following:
Today, almost all people know that most soaps contain harsh chemicals that dry the skin. Harsh soaps strip the natural oils from the skin and destroy the barriers that serve as protection from daily sun exposure and other harmful elements in the environment. Knowing this, it is important to be aware of products or have the ability to produce products that can be used for Natural skin care, specifically for one's face. A homemade Facial wash would be a much gentler and more affordable option. Not only does washing one's face remove dead skin cells, oil build up, and impurities, it also helps improve circulation, protects against break-outs, and stimulates skin cell renewal.
Natural Natural skin care Recipes do not usually include a foaming agent. But in case one wants some foaming action, simply add a small dab of a rich emollient-based face wash product. Oily skin types want to lean towards a Facial cleanser that has an acid base such as a citrus ingredient while sensitive skin benefits from the healing properties provided by aloe vera and green tea. Making one's own natural Facial cleanser ensures that the daily build-up of dirt is gently washed away without stripping away the skin’s essential natural attributes. In order to maximize the benefits of using a natural Facial cleanser, apply the homemade recipe to warm moist skin. Use a circular motion to gently massage the skin with the cleanser, then rinse well. This face wash strategy will ensure a deep Cleansing of clogging dirt from the pores which will then leave the skin clean, soft and supple.
One does not need to be a queen like Cleopatra to have good skin. It only takes having a balanced and healthy diet, good hygiene, and the use of gently, natural Natural skin care products. Human beauty can be improved or maintained with the help of Nature and all the beauty secrets it holds.

Lunch Better Without Fast Food
Lunch is the forgotten stepchild of the meal day. We spend a fair amount of energy planning dinner, and we (sometimes begrudgingly) spend some energy making sure we eat breakfast. But more than one of us has looked at the clock at noon, realized we are hungry and then scarfed down whatever was available and easy.
Too often, that means Fast Food, vending machine food or - for some people - nothing at all. And this is truly unfortunate. Nutrition experts tell us again and again that eating three meals and two snacks a day is the surest path to good nutrition and a balanced diet. And even if you are eating Lunch, a hamburger and fries doesn’t get you very far on the path to good nutrition.
So, how do you change this? Lunch is a tough one for people who work outside the home. Sure, you can pack leftovers from dinner, but what if there aren’t any or you didn’t like dinner in the first place? Making a sandwich and adding some fruit sounds easy, but that’s just one more thing to do in the morning and if you’re in a rush, it’s one of the first chores you’ll discard.
Here are some tips to bring Lunch back into focus on busy weekdays:
*Do plan for leftovers, if possible. If you like what you’re making for dinner and think you wouldn’t mind having it for Lunch tomorrow, set aside some before everyone else gets fed. Put it into the fridge and your family will never know a portion of the entree is missing. Best of all, you’ve already done the work. Add a piece of fruit and yogurt and there’s Lunch tomorrow.
*If you must have Fast Food, stay away from fries, most hamburgers, anything breaded and fried and most salads. Yes, I said salads. Sure, you’ll get some nutritional content from the lettuce and all the other goodies on the salad, but the dressing might have as much as 30 grams of fat in it, most of it saturated fat. Stick with light dressings or even keep a bottle of dressing in the fridge at work. Otherwise, stay away from Fast Food salads (and they’re never that good anyway). Try a grilled chicken sandwich, sans fries.
*If you’re out and about running errands and get hungry, stop at 7-11, and grab a bottle of milk, some trail mix or a granola bar and a piece of fruit. It might not be gourmet, but it will get you through to a small snack later and then dinner.
*Keep Lunch items at work. There are many things you can keep in your desk that are shelf stable and still healthy. How about tuna packets and crackers? How about some fruit in its own juice? Nuts, trail mix and granola bars are all good choices. Stay away from sodium-laden canned soups and noodle bowls. Not only can they provide you with more than the maximum sodium you need for one day, they also won’t provide the complex carb and protein boost you need to get you through the afternoon and keep you from stalking the vending machine later for an unhealthy snack.

Not only can they provide you with more than the maximum sodium you need for one day, they also won’t provide the complex carb and protein boost you need to get you through the afternoon and keep you from stalking the vending machine later for an unhealthy snack.
