VITAMIN F


Why do I have a variety of friends who are all so different in character ? How can I get along with them all?              

I think that each one helps to bring out a "different" part of me.

* With one of them I am polite.

* I joke with another friend.

* I sit down and talk about serious matters with one.

* With another I laugh a lot.

* I listen to one friend's problems.

* Then I listen to another one's advice for me.

My friends are all like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. When completed they form a treasure Box !!!

We all pray for each other.

Even Doctors tell us that friends are good for our health.

Dr. Oz calls them Vitamin F (for Friends) and counts the benefits of friends as essential to our well being.      

Research shows that people in strong social circles have less risk of depression and terminal strokes. 

If you enjoy Vitamin F constantly, you can be up to 30 years younger than your real age. 

The warmth of friendship stops stress and even in your most intense moments it decreases the chance of a cardiac arrest or stroke by 50%.

*I'm so happy that I have such a huge stock of Vitamin F.

[Dankie aan Marguerite Pienaar, een van ons getroue lesers, wat hierdie vitamine-wenk met ons gedeel het. Dit is duidelik dat ons almal in ons besige lewens 'n tekort aan hierdie belangrike vitamine het.]   

Wat is lewe ...

Internasionale drukkie-dag ...

Almal van ons het drukkies nodig, almal van ons het dit nodig om te hoor dat ons spesiaal is en dat daar mense is wat vir ons omgee. Kom ons gaan tot aksie oor en gee vir elkeen wat vandag ons pad kruis, 'n drukkie!

International Hot Tea Day!


National Hug Day!

National Hug Day was created by Reverend Kevin Zaborney in Caro, Michigan in 1986 as an antidote to the reverend’s perception that many American were afraid to display affection in public. He created the date on which this holiday is celebrated, January 21st because he felt this was a time of the year when the spirit of people were at the lowest due to it falling between Christmas and Valentine’s Day.

Humans are social creatures and as a result hugging offers a myriad of mental and physical benefits to people, as now science is beginning to discover. For instance, hugging can boost oxycontin and serotonin levels, boost self esteem and improve mental health. Hugging has also been shown to improve cardiac health, lower blood pressure and increase relaxation levels in both participants.

Hugging is also an important part of relationships. Partners who hug on a regular basis are more bonded and trust each other more than those who don’t frequently touch. There is also a link between partners who frequently hug and the longevity of their marriages. Couples who frequently touch each other tend to have longer and happier marriages than those who don’t.

Respect Your Parents In Their Old Age ...

We get so busy and lost in growing up, we forget that our parents are growing old too. Just like they have been there for us all their lives, it’s time for us to be there for them. Just hug them and tell them, you are always there for them. Give them your love, care and respect, the 3 thing any person of any age wants in his life.

Here’s the heart touching story about mother & son.

After his father’s death, the Son decided to leave his mother at an old age home and visited her on and off.
Once he received a call from the old age home… “Your mom is very serious please come and visit her.” So the son went and saw that his mom was very critical and on her dying bed.
He asked: Mom what can I do for you.
Mom replied : “Please install fans in the old age home, as there are none. Also put a fridge for betterment of food because many times I slept without food”.
The son was surprised and asked : Mom, while you were here you never complained, but now you have few hours left and you are telling me all this, why?
Mom replied : “It’s OK dear, I’ve managed with the heat, hunger pain, but when your children will send you here, I am afraid you will not be able to manage!

“Love your parents and treat them with loving care for you will only know their value when you see their empty chair…”
