Health

So far we have had a very weird winter. We have had a bit of snow early on. The rest has been hit or miss. Don't let that fool you or even jinx us. We still have a good two months until we hit spring and even that doesn't guarantee we won't have winter here in the Texas Panhandle..

Nothing ruins a weekend more than worrying about the work week ahead of us. Could you feel it last night? Did it help to make it a restless night of sleep? Sometimes it is just the dread of having to worry about the work load you may be facing.

I know we want to have a decent looking body. We want to be healthy. We want to be in shape. We want all of this. We want fat to be the part that we get rid of....that is not necessarily a good thing.

This is the time of year when we try to eat healthy. You may decide 2021 is the year to get in shape. We know that weight loss is eighty percent diet and twenty percent exercise. So we need to do more than just workout. We need to follow a healthy way of eating as well.

Growing up we learned needles were a part of life. You may have had a mom who tried to make it easer.

It's time to get ready for bed. Get stuff picked up around the house. Say goodnight to the kiddos. You let your dog out one more time before you all go to sleep. The hope is that they can make it through the night without another trip outside. Fingers crossed.

This has been a year already with a good amount of snow. I can't imagine we have seen the last of it for the season. So I guess I never really thought of shoveling being dangerous. I mean it makes sense. I really am not a fan of shoveling anyway...so if I can find a way to get someone else to do it. Sure I am a fan.

You may be tempted. You may just think you know I am wearing a scarf I will be protected. Why wear a mask and a scarf? Well because that is the only way you can guarantee your protection from the virus.

I know we think that it is only during the summer months that we need to stay hydrated. That sun can do a number on you. Oh, but so can the alcohol. Our alcohol intake seems to increase during the holiday season.

The fact that 2020 has been such a challenging year is nothing new. As we are getting closer to wrap it up we still have to remember we have things to be thankful for as well. Even though we have had a lot of ups and downs this year. We have had loved ones die, we have had people get sick, we have had major milestones canceled. We have all had stuff change for us.

We think about anything that is eco-friendly is only being good for the Earth, for our environment. It is good of course. Being eco-friendly can also be good for us. Now some of our choices may not be a choice we want to make this year.

We have started carrying hand sanitizer with us a lot more than we used to. We may have a bottle at work. We may have another one in our purse. We have even started keeping some in the car. We want to make sure we are always prepared.
