Ready for the New Year

Hello everyone,

Are you ready for 2015? What is your New Year's resolution? If it is losing weight then you are not alone. Why is this such a popular request each year and why is it so difficult?
Well first it is not an overnight process so that is the something you have to come to terms with. Also expect some bumps in the road or barriers. Even after a while it becomes difficult and excuses starts to settle in. This is why perhaps having someone along this journey would help. Not only for support but to get you through the rough times.
In addition try bonding more with old friends, a lack of social bonds can produce poor health such as drinking and smoking. If you smoke try to quit and the same goes for drinking. Try to cut back on the alcohol.
Money plays a big role in a healthy lifestyle, find a way to cut back such as trips to Starbucks and eating out.
Stress unfortunately exist in our lives whether they're small or large. Try to cut or reduce the stress by working out, eat healthier and enjoy time with friends and family.
I know many ask themselves why they even bother if all the above I've mentioned plays a part in your life that you can't shake off. I believe that even if you try it will at least make yourself feel better. Feeling good about yourself is a healthy sign and promotes good thoughts and action. Have you done any volunteer work? It is a very rewarding feeling.
Don't be discouraged and don't be afraid. Just keep trying and you'll be on your way to feeling better one day at a time.

I hope this blog was somewhat helpful and wish you all the best and happy year!

Do dreams come true?

Have you ever encounter a deja vu moment? Or ever get this strange feeling that you have experienced this exact moment before perhaps in a dream? And what do dreams mean? Why do we dream? Are dreams a prediction of our life?
I do not dream often but some of my dreams do come true in life. And I can tell that it is not just my imagination because I used to keep a journal. When I would have the deja vu feeling I would check my journal to see if I documented this as a dream. The results are chilling but it comforts me to know that not all of my dreams come to life. Can you imagine if you had a terrible dream knowing that it would come true later down the road?

Speaking of dreams, have you seen the movie Inception http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/
It is a very good movie that describes dreams in a very unique creative way. I have to admit that I was confused the first time I saw this movie and had to watch it a few more times. It makes me wonder if dreams can really be stolen.

Anyways, my question to you today is have you seen something before that gave you the feeling that you have seen or felt it before? If so did this freak you out?

Love to hear your thoughts.

Here is a picture of one of my cats name Tilly; she's so cute in this picture with her eyes half closed.

Do you mean what you say

Something to ponder............

You know the saying "let me know if you need anything" when you have encountered something in life such as when a family member passed away or when someone is in the hospital? People often respond with "oh I'm sorry to hear that, let me know if there is anything I can do, or let me know if there is anything you need". My question to you today is if you were to say that would you really mean it?

Also if you were the receiver of this statement, would you really call upon that request? Let's say we do and tell the person, "well yes, can you bring some food over" or "I am going to have some difficulty paying the electric bill this month because of X,Y,Z would you mind paying it for me"
What would you say to them? Ok I could say yes to the food since that is not going to cost as much but paying your electric bill? Now that is another story.
Now I'm speaking of mainly friends, co-workers or acquaintances. I am taking immediate family out of this because family are most likely to help family out.

I don't know if there is anyone like me that wonder if people mean what they say in these types of situation. Especially when they say "just let me know if there's anything I can do" First I don't know what you can do, and second I wouldn't ask you for anything anyways. This leads me to believe that this is just a saying that goes with the type of situation that occurs. But.......what if I do ask you to do something, will you do it for me?

So if you were in mourning would you call upon their request if they offered it? And if you were offering support, would you truly commit yourself to do it?

Love to hear your thoughts.
