New discoveries.....

I have discovered ... but have always been interested in alternative medicine... but more importantly Chinese medicine... and becoming an herbalist..!! In these past days I have come to do some research... and have become very interested.  I started this research because our beloved Cocker Spaniel.. my boy "Thunder" has had a relapse... and had become extremely weak .. and lethargic.. the vet, who is an excellent vet practicing Western medicine said there was basically nothing more we could do.  I knew in my heart that .. that was what he was going to tell me... and I really want this special furry friend and family member

to have a wonderful life... soooooo with much prayer and positive thought...I decided to begin my research.. to see what else there was, alternatively to do for him.  I found out from friends and research.. that there is a Chinese herb called "yunnan baiyao" 

that helps in stopping internal bleeding in humans ... and in animals.  It comes in a capsule and/or powder form.  I was told to mix it with liquid, like chicken broth and give him an ounce every hour until he seemed to perk up..... I did just that.. every single hour from yesterday afternoon till this morning.... gave him a bit.. and this morning... although not completely and totally perky... Thunder is seeming to show definite signs of improvement!!!!  This stuff really smells weird.. and I can't imagine mixed with the chicken broth... that it would taste much better... but it is seeming to make a small but definite difference... !!!  I was very encouraged by this ... and am going to continue to give him this for a bit longer... not every hour now.. but a little at a time and hope and pray.. that our boy.. will continue with this positive progress.


So at this point... after speaking with this local herbalist... and she gave me no guarantees.. but at least I know I am trying everything possible...!!  I am actually now going to make an appointment for myself.. to see if she will be able to regulate these lovely hormones... and help me get back ... to my old normal condition and weight.... She seemed very encouraging and positive that she would be able to help me... with these types of herbs.. and also acupuncture ... which I am also very interested in.... 


I know this situation .. could easily turn around... but I am continuing to pray and keep my strong faith in God.. to help our beloved friend... 


Aloha & A Hui Hou!!!

Who would have thought?

Hi, welcome to "A Day in the Life... I am starting a new adventure in blogging that is... I'm kind of new at all of this... but have always loved to write and journal. A real adventure in Blogging.. I'm excited to be able to have my own blogging website so to speak ... and be able to share and discuss life's challenges and lend a little bit of humor to an otherwise pretty depressing world..... I was first introduced to "blogging" by my twelve year old daughter who actually was given blogs to answer for her Social Studies class. The teacher would have them check into his Social Studies website and post a comment to this blog. Who would have guessed!!! Just the fact of using computers and/or laptops in school for homework, in 6th grade no less, and just about everything really kind of makes me feel "OLD"! not to mention to have to ask my 12 year old how it all really works.. So I made it a point to check out just what blogging thing was. Much to my surprise I had been receiving emails all the time about blogging and even making money blogging!! WOW!! What a cool thing.. So I decided to give this blogging thing a whirl in hopes to expand my horizons so to speak, maybe put a smile on someone's face that maybe sharing the same dilemmas raising children, keeping up a home, keeping up with homework, deciding whats for dinner, being an attentive wife, trying to fit into a pair of great black pants that you USED to wear, managing their own life with hormones and all and even make a little $$$ while I'm at it.

The internet is a truly wonderous thing... a plethora of endless information. It has taken the place of so many things... encyclopedias for one. When I mentioned this word to my daughter she looked at me like I was speaking in a total other language!! There are so many things that you can learn from our kids now.. believe me if you have any problems with an electronic gadget... just ask a 12 year old they surely will know. It truly is an amazing part of our lives these days. Whats really cool is that you can access the internet almost everywhere now... using all of these other wonderful electronic gadgets that control our lives.. maybe this should be more of an adventure in electronics!!! Just being able to access the internet even on our cellphones !!! I can even check my bank balance... although I would rather not...

Anyway, "A Day in the Life... I like all of the other "On the Go Moms" out there is just going to be my take on trying to keep up with lifes changes and challenges.... it will be nice to able to share thoughts, comments and ideas with other parents of quickly changing children. Its amazing how they wake up in 6th grade and know absolutely everything they need to know!!...This way I know in my heart that I'm not really going crazy when I walk into a room and immediately blank out on what I was there for and I just need another really tall iced STRONG coffee!! I wished that I would have found this kind of medium, so to speak, years ago.. but I'm totally one that believes "everything happens for a reason" whether we like it or not!

Well I'm excited.. I'm excited about getting my "lite on life" column, sorry blog started!! I'm getting ahead of myself.. and dreaming of a wonderful fanbase, is that really a word??? you know what I'm talking about... But, I am running out of time... gotta get going to get yet another dinner on the table... finish folding the laundry, load up the recyclables, police up the area before the family assembles for the feast... so tune in tomorrow..

for another "A Day in the Life... !" I promise I will have something fun and entertaining to talk about.. ALLLLLOHAAAAA!!!
