THIS WILL MAKE YOU CRY!

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses... from our children, family members and  friends. There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.

Be safe, be happy. 

Goodwill

To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.
And remember The way you spend Xmas is far more important than how much.

This is lovely....

Love is what is in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.
Happy Xmas to you all.

“Where Do You REALLY Live?”

What do you use to see with?  If you said your eyes… you're wrong.  How about hearing?  If you said ears… wrong again!   You don't see or hear with your eyes or ears.  Those are just end organs for collecting light and sound waves.  To actually see and hear you have to interpret those waves with your nerves and brain (Nerve System) first.
In reality, you LIVE in your Nerve System.  EVERYTHING you experience in life is processed through it… what you see, what you hear, what you feel. That's why Chiropractors care so much about keeping it healthy.  If your Nerve System is stressed, there goes your ability to interpret your world, and there goes your ability to successfully navigate life.
Regular adjustments keep your Nerve System clear so you can respond to life's challenges in a positive way.  If you're feeling a little foggy, or just disconnected from the world, maybe it's time for some Nerve System house cleaning.  Give your Chiropractor a call today and get reconnected to Life.

The Knowledge: How not to gain weight over Christmas

Eat, drink and be merry - and keep trim, with these tips from Christina Howells, the nutritional expert at Home House gym in London.

Eat before you hit the party

Related articles

Skipping meals will often result in bingeing. If you have a party in the evening, make sure you eat two small meals and two balanced snacks beforehand, to maintain your blood sugar levels. Eat half an avocado and some crayfish, or a matchbox portion of hummus with two oatcakes before a party - this will reduce the likelihood of you heading straight to find food.

Get the ratios right

It's often the amount we eat that is the real problem. Aim to make vegetables the largest portion on your plate. A portion of carbohydrates need be no bigger than a tight fist, and protein the size and thickness of the palm of your hand.Luckily, our Christmas tradition is to have turkey, which is good for you. Ifyou don't eat meat, salmon is a great alternative and is full of essentialfats.

Chew on it

It takes an average of 15 to 20 minutes for the stomach to signal to the brain that it's full. By then it may be too late, because you have taken a second helping of Christmas pudding. Take time to chew, pay attention to what Auntie Mildred is waffling on about and it may just pay off in your favour.

Avoid fatty snacks

Watch out for calorie-laden treats such as mince pies. These are the little extras we can do without. Remember, Christmas is a social time of year, so rather than dive for the buffet spend more time chatting and dancing. At the dinner table don't be afraid to say no to seconds. If you say, 'No, thanks,' and don't give an explanation, people tend not to ask any more questions. As soon as you say, 'It's because I'm watching my weight,' they'll say, 'Go on, have another potato.' Stick to your guns.

Watch your alcohol intake

Alcohol contains useless calories that disrupt your blood sugar levels and increase appetite. This is why you crave sugar when you have a hangover. You don't haveto be a saint but, if you're going to drink, try to limit your intake and havea glass of water between each alcoholic drink.

Move your body

You don't need to do a full workout on Christmas Day but a walk after lunch will definitely make you feel better. As soon as you stop exercising for a period of time you feel more tired and more inclined to think, 'Oh well, I may as well eat and drink what I want.' If you keep yourself active, come January you won't find it difficult to get back into your normal routine.

Auld Lang Syne

Auld Lang Syne 

Traditionally sung at New Year, Auld Land Syne reflects perfectly on the meaning of New Year celebrations.
Written by Scots poet Robert Burns in 1741, it wasn’t published until 1796, after his death.  ‘Auld Lang Syne’ literally means ‘old long ago,’ or simply, ‘the good old days.’   And for the record, the traditional crossing of hands should not be done until the fourth verse!
Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne
We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pou’d the gowans fine;
we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot
Sin’ auld lang syne
We two hae paidled i’ the burn,
Frae mornin’ sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin’ auld lang syne
And here’s a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie’s a hand o’ thine;
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne

So now you know.
