HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2007-03-01, Page 2February is gone. We’re ready for
all the other good things that March
has to offer. March break is the first
on the list, then it’s St. Patrick’s Day
to celebrate.
Toss in at least four family and
friends’ birthdays of various
numbers, some getting pretty large
(the numbers I meant) and March
looks like a month to enjoy.Start on Friday by attending yourlocal Word Day of Prayer. This is aworld-wide endeavour to geteveryone to stop and think on onespecific day about the state of ourworld. This time to pause has been goingfor years, long before the state of the
world was the common theme as it is
now.
In Brussels we’re heading to the
Presbyterian Church at 7:30 p.m.
Other places and times will be
noted.
The state of grandparent has
settled on Howard and Alice Martin.
It seems Simon has captured that
spot in folks’ hearts that is only
opened by grandchildren. Son Gary
and Kim, who now call Alaska
home, are the proud parents of thewee chap who has Alice and Howardcaught by the heart strings. So here’sto many years of enjoying thedescendants.All the things you read and heardin February about heart month needto be part of your daily routine.Heart disease is our number one
cause of death. Yes it’s much
higher than accidents and cancer
combined so take note of all the tips
available.
Exercise is on a regular basis even
a little is better than none. A simple
diet of unprocessed foods is the best
way to keep your heart and blood
vessels healthy.
Read labels on the foods you are
considering buying so you know
what kind of fat and how much sugar
is in each serving that enters your
mouth.
We are so busy getting to the next
thing that our lifestyle is killing us.
Be aware of every bit of food you
consume and on the days you eat the
fast unhealthy stuff be sure to getextra exercise so you heart andvessels have half a chance to keepyou going.Be good to yourself and others youare feeding this week.Bye now, Betty G.W.PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 2007.
