In Sickness And In Health

No, I’m not getting married but in a way, we all already are…..to our bodies.  I have been going through a lot of changes health wise for a several months now and this time has really allowed me to think. 

So many of us push our health aside, especially while our symptoms are still mild and in the early stages.  We also don’t take things like colds and flu’s seriously enough.  There is a reason we have caught those things!  It’s not just a matter of being around the wrong person at the wrong time and catching something.

My challenge for you today is to take a moment and ask yourself what you can do to appreciate your body.  Could you nourish it better? Go out and buy a  salad or fruit…..or a summer smoothie!  Could you stretch and exercise more?  Take a nice walk in the fresh air and stretch a little in the sun!  Or could you just need a little more rest? Relax and have a little fun getting to know people on twitter or read a good book!

So, you get my point.  Our bodies unfortunately are not bionic and WILL get run down when pushed too far.  I pushed my body for years thinking that as long as I kept my immune system strong and ate nourishing food, I could get through.  But it’s not just one thing and when symptoms arise, pay attention sunshine readers! Your body will thank you for caring for it sooner rather than later.

Have a healthy day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Life Is Short, Be Happy!

While deciding on and typing out this title, I couldn’t help but think to myself, “Bleh, how depressing!” 

It’s true though, even if you’re in your twenties or thirties.  We are all living in a time of great  distractions.  We’ve got internet, more places to go, see, shop.  Even those of us who are homebodies won’t be found bored in this day and age, and before we know it……

Actually, these things aren’t bad if they bring you pleasure.  That is the key to the above title.  Are you making sure to bring yourself a little pleasure each day?  Seriously, are you?

I didn’t do this for myself for the longest time.  I felt like I didn’t deserve it and a lot of my smiles and positive excitement were fake, just so people didn’t see me as this scared, sad person.

Well, I’m still scared about a lot of things in my life and I’m still getting over a lot of sadness but I’m not letting it control me or blind me from all of the great pleasures in life!

No matter what your religion or what you believe, we are only going to live in our current bodies once.  We are only going to live in the year 2009 once!

I don’t know about you but I’m not going to let the economy or the swine flu or any of the other doom and glooms take over my consciousness.  Hey, it is what it is now lets all have a piece of cake or go for a walk with our loyal fur babies!

It’s all about what you make of it.  Turning a blind eye may not be an option but if you’ve found yourself living too many precious moments with a knot in your stomach, why?

It can sometimes be easier said than done, I know……trust me, I know.  I’m making a big effort though and I’m determined to continue, no matter what. 

Tweet Tweet!

A chirpy twittery day to you all!

As you can see, I’ve also created a twitter account so if fluffy sillyness is your cup of tweet (I know, I know…) it would definitely be worth your while to follow!

Have a wonderful day everyone and don’t forget to chirp (or tweet) your way into the sunshine!

A Shiny New Beginning

Hello lovely readers!

My name is Nyree and I hope to bring a little smile and some cyber sunshine to your internet travels from here on out.  Yes, I will be posting something pretty, positive, enlightening, or just plain silly to this new webpage every single day!

We all need more of the above things in our lives to help us get through each day as far as I’m concerned, don’t you think?  Stopping to smell the roses (so to speak) should be something we demand of ourselves each day.  So whether I’m a quick click while you sip your  morning coffee or a mid-day break stop,  I promise, there will always be something shiny and new here!

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!
