Squeezing the stuffings out of our blessings!

We’ve been encouraged to “count our blessings” each and every day. I don’t think it’s a matter of counting them. They’re not currency. Unlike our medieval ancestors, who carried their life’s wealth around in a drawstring pouch, we carry ours deep inside. But like a financial institution, our blessings can bear interest, or at least fruit.

Becoming skilled at juggling our to-do lists

When did I ever need so many hands? I’m constantly asking myself that every time I pick up after the kids; clear out the dishwasher or take out the recycling. It’s at those times that I long for an extra hand, or the ability to balance something on my nose like a seal.

Unleash The Beast, improve your health

We don’t all have personal trainers or nutritionists. But we do have personal blenders. These “single-serve blenders” come in many shapes and sizes to suit all needs. They have also have become the fastest growing segment of the blender appliance category due to the popularity of healthy smoothies.

Bluetti delivers power when you need it with its EB3A

There are those who prefer to be “off the grid,” but most of us need access to power all the time. For outdoor adventurers and backyard enthusiasts, a compact, convenient source of power is a lifesaver. Today, it’s almost a necessity. Thankfully, Bluetti Power has come to the rescue with a lineup of amazing, portable power stations.

Absentmindedness is my new normal

I’m with ya, Norm. My car is supposed to prevent the absent minded driver from locking his keys inside. Alas, it’s been some time since I read the manual and I’m not sure where I put it. There I was on a sunny November day watching the comings and goings at a local grocery store. I was leaning on my car because I locked myself out.

Being accountable and staying in touch

Our elected officials are our voice in government. They represent us, and act on our behalf. At every level of government, our politicians and their staff work to ensure constituents have the services, programs, infrastructure and access they need to live and thrive.

Are we linked to the patterns of the cosmos?

“Nov. 08, 2022 – Few signs can appreciate all the beauty and the wonders of the world quite like you can, Virgo, and that’s a very good thing. For one, it gives you the chance to stand out, and two, it gives you something of an edge on the competition because your unique viewpoint is so different from everyone else’s. “This isn’t about making you stand out, but rather drawing attention to the real fact that you’ve got a way of seeing things, a way of doing things, that ought to be admired. You haven’t put so much effort into yourself for nothing, and you won’t always be on the shelf, certainly not much longer if that’s how things feel.

Defining what it means to be human

We human beings are curious, intelligent critters. We shed our furry bodies and tiny tails and achieved great things over the millennia. But what makes us unique and what separates us from the rest of Earth’s flora and fauna?

Splurging means getting ‘fries with that’

With a few “extra” bucks in my pocket, I decided to splurge, run some errands and get the family some take-out one recent Friday afternoon. “Splurge?” My first stop was the LCBO for some overdue “tonic.” My poison of choice went up $2 since I last purchased it. Next stop, grabbing a couple of long “underwater” sandwiches. My pocket became $22 lighter.

Humans driven to make a difference

When we stop making a difference, perhaps it’s time to leave, or at least make a 180. No one wants to be a dunsel. I don’t know when I began to fade, like a mid-day shadow. Perhaps I just hid from the sun, more and more. I think I want to take deeper breaths, soak up the sun on my face until it sets, and maybe smile at strangers a little more.
