July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
A lot of medical research today focuses on developing cures to ageing. Presumably, with the right breakthrough, humans could live forever. How do you feel about this? Write an entry describing the advantages and disadvantages of extremely long life using facts and opinions to support your answer. Quote: "It's paradoxical, that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn't appeal to anyone."

In our present bodies? I think if there is ever such a discovery it will be awhile before the general public hears about it. Probably, it would be divided out to certain people and the public would start noticing people around them were not aging. Hmm. Sounds like a science fiction story already. I like living on the earth. I like routine. I'm not against cleaning the house, yard, barn and keeping order in our living area. Getting sick or having an accident is a drag. But, I know the body heals. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, depending on the sickness, injury, and treatment. The science between health and sickness is pretty solid. Reduce caloric intake, and eat fruits, nuts, fresh vegetables, beans, and don't forget turmeric. Don't smoke or indulge in extreme alcohol consumption. (although wine is suppose to have beneficial chemical content) (because its made from apples,I wonder about the health benefits of beer, but I haven't read about it yet. Does anyone know if beer has health benefits?) Coffee and tea are suppose to both be good for you. When I got into tea knowledge I was amazed to find out how diverse teas are. I have trouble with eating oats that are cooked to a slime. But, I found a tea that is made from the oat plant. It's call Oat Straw Tea, It's a green beverage and very tasty. Also, different oils have health benefits, Olive Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Coconut Oil. There are herb teas made from the leaves of broccoli, and other plants that are excellent health plants to consume. I don't drink coffee so I can't tell you about its healthy benefits. The one I like the best is laughter. It increases your positive attitude and a light hearted approach to life. Take time to do things you love to do without feeling guilty. We have a right to live on this planet. Enjoy what you do and don't be afraid to change things around if it helps your stress or gives you a progressive attitude. I've been in a lot of desperate situations in my life. I know to some extent we can change our attitude and bring calm and joy into some stupid life situations. Beware, if you intend to be happy there will be the people who won't like it. Too bad. Life is interesting. find out what's really going on and make it a happy search. ![Merit Badge in Encore! Encore!
