    That’s how we are. Though we have our full time job, while on our way to work we try to formulate in our mind what are the posts we have to make, its title and how to expand it.

    Sometimes, I would just jot it down on my cellphone and when I arrive home I expand it.

    Cancer is a disease that can devastate one stricken by it . Though, if one know how to stay positive and find ways to control it, then they can survive.

    And for those who wants to prevent themselves from having […]

    • Useful information. But my experience with people who I knew who had cancer is what I would like to share. In many of the cases people were healthy, ate good food did not have major health issues for more than 20 years. But suddenly were diagnosed with cancer when they had some other health issue for which they went for treatment. Two of them passed away within six months after coming to know of it.

      While the third gentleman whom I knew well had put up a fight with cancer and doctors were surprised with his recovery as it was in final stages. But after a few months of this recovery which took place in one and half years. Cancer again reappeared in his body and he suffered a painful death.

      This person had no bad habits was a teetotaler and ate food in the house only did not consume junk food. It was unfortunate that he could not succeed in his fight. But there are many success stories too. That was because in their case cancer was diagnosed early. That did the trick.

      • @Krishna Kumar ,

        That is true. It is an advantage that we discover an ailment earlier than discovering it later because it will already be so difficult to battle it.

        Sad indeed that others lives a healthy lifestyle, yet they still had cancer.

        In this case, i think it is already in the genes. It is said that when family members had cancer, we are at risk too.

        That is why, Angelina Jolie had done what she can to combat cancer of the breast while it was early. Her mother had it and she too may be at risk with it.

    I am a positive thinker. When I failed over a plan, I still would have plan B and plan C. And when all else fails, I pray and leave it to God to do the rest. I always just would think that it’s not what God wants […]

    • I agree with you, one needs to be a positive thinker so it can attract positive things happening in his life. Blessings will come naturally and unexpectedly if a person thinks of good things about himself and of other people around him.

    • I never want to have alzeimers or cancer for that matter. Luckely i love my veggies and friuts! So hopefully i will stay healthy and strong with a clear mind. But ill start taking multivitamins again. Why not ive got nothing to loose and everything to gain. And maby ill be oky! I can think that alzeimers or any other sickness can be very frustrating. Im so thankfull that im so blessed to be healthy ad clear minded.and luckely we dont have ever had any one in our family that has or had alzeimers. Not in my mothers site nor in my dads! I just wanna say al my sinsere good wishes to those who have alzeimers and their familys who has to deal with that! God will keep you strong and save!

      • That is good, because it means you are far from getting alzheimers.

        Indeed, nowadays it seems that people are already so aware of what are the benefits of eating healthily , especially fish, veggies and fruits.

        At least, those foods in addition to taking vitamin supplements such as E and also fish oil, which I also take, we can be assured of having a healthy mind until our death.

    • It is one of the dreaded diseases when people grow old; I wish there could be a good medicine to offset it. Though I am still not that so old, ha ha ha! I list all my passwords in a notebook, along with important bank numbers.

      Regarding Vitamin E, your post reminded that I have to take it again. I had hysterectomy also due to myoma. But my OB-Gyne prescribed hormone replacement therapy which is safe to use. I remember I have to take it again.

    • One just need to eat healthy diet then they can probably reduce the risk of getting Alzheimer.

    • Vitamins are very good in combating Alzheimer disease and also there is one type of diet that I found in Internet that can effectively reduce the risk of getting Alzheimer and other chronic disease which are ketogenic diet that consist of food high in healthy fats like Omega3.

    My long-time which is to learn how to knit. I know how to crochet, embroider, sew but I found it hard to knit. I followed tutorial on Youtube, but I can’t do it.

    • Me, too, I find it hard to learn how to knit. My daughter has been bugging me to start learning how to knit. She even volunteered to teach me.

      She learned knitting thru the internet. Crocheting is much easier for me.

      Maybe in the near future, I will eventually know how to knit.

      Goodluck to us!

      • I envy people who know how to knit. It must be a good pastime for oldies like me! ha ha ha!(not so much, not yet 60!). Just part of my desire to always learn new things in spite of the age!
