God can’t be a shepherd to us unless we are sheep to Him...

A photo from our friend and neighbor,Ted who is visiting out west

Mt. Thiesen Or. El. 9182 Ft.

Here are some more good thoughts about sheep that some one shared with us.

"The nature of sheep is to be together; something wrong if alone. No defensive weapon except togetherness. Other animals have teeth for defense; sheep have just eight, all on the bottom for eating. Things we eat express our nature. Lambs don’t eat flesh. Only time sheep “baaaaas” is when it is looking for fellowship. Rough shearers take skin, wool, sheep never murmur. No animal suffers like a sheep and gives more, it clothes us, feeds us.".

Count That Day Lost

By George Eliot

If you sit down at set of sun

And count the acts that you have done,

And, counting, find

One self-denying deed, one word

That eased the heart of him who heard,

One glance most kind

That fell like sunshine where it went-

Then you may count that day well spent.

But if, through all the livelong day,

You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay-

If, through it all

You've nothing done that you can trace

That brought the sunshine to one face-

No act most small

That helped some soul and nothing cost-

Then count that day as worse than lost.

*****************************

A few things to help us smile--corny, but cute.

Q. Why was the elephant wearing pink tennis shoes?

A. They didn't have white ones in his size.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q. Does an elephant ever forget?

A. Only if you lend him money.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: How do you know if there is an elephant under your bed?

A: Your nose is touching the ceiling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: Why are elephants wrinkled?

A: Have you ever tried to iron one?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A fool-proof method for sculpting an elephant: first, get a huge block of marble then you chip away everything that doesn't look like an elephant..

Mediterranean Diet, Tomatoes and Depression
Tags: depression, Mediterranean Diet
.
By Vanessa Richins
.
When I was going to community college, I took an Italian cooking class.
I developed a love of olive oil, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and more.
As I’ve grown older, I’ve started eating more fruits, vegetables and nuts.
I didn’t realize it, but I’m not far off from what’s called the “Mediterranean Diet”, of which I would personally consider the tomato a star. The name comes from the diet common to the areas, like Italy, around the Mediterranean Sea - fruits, vegetables, fish, legumes, olive oil and nuts. It’s been lauded for years as a way to a healthy heart.
Scientists are now saying that it may also be a key to a healthy mind. As the New York Times reports, “A study of over 10,000 Spaniards followed for almost four and half years on average found that those who reported eating a healthy Mediterranean diet at the beginning of the study were Read the rest of this entry »

Here is my thought for this Thursday morning.
.
'' Why does the road wind every away. Till we cannot see the end ? Why do we climb and climb each day ? Where does it lead, good friend ? Where does it lead but up and away ? Why need see the end, if we work and sing and climb each day. And live and love, good friend."

That good strong Starbucks Coffee is ready and waiting on you, you should have smelled it before now. It's my time to serve you.

.Good common sense stuff to do to help prevent flu.
.
Dr. Vinay Goyal is an MBBS, DRM, DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid specialist) having clinical experience of over 20 years. He has worked in institutions like Hinduja Hospital, Bombay Hospital, Saifee Hospital, Tata Memorial etc.. Presently, he is heading our Nuclear Medicine Department and Thyroid clinic at Riddhivinayak Cardiac and Critical Centre, Malad (W). The following message given by him, I feel makes a lot of sense and is important for all to know: The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoidcoming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced(instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu): 1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications.) 2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap.) 3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt.) *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method. 4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. * Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (Neti Pot, and very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.* 5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits.) *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption. 6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc.) as you can. *Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
.
Here is my thought for today.
.
" Be cherful ! Give the lonsome world a smile; We stay, at longest but a little while. Hasten we must or we shall loose the chance to give the gentle word, the kindly glance. Be sweet and tender; that is doing good;'Tis doing what no other good deed could."

From Verses I Like.

.

.This is all I have for this day. I hope to slip back again in the morning if my life is spared. Cheer up and smile I can see that this is going to be a good day for us. I love you all where ever you are in this world.

. Hi, all you animal lovers!This is pretty simple... Please ask ten friends to each ask a further ten today!The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting FREE FOOD donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals for free'. This doesn’t cost you a thing.Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.Here's the web site! Please pass it along to people you know.http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/

Sara's Dog Training early this Monday morning. They have been away from home for a few days , I do hope that they are back this morning. It gets lonesome around here when Sara , Oreo and Misty are gone. We all hope that you had a nice time Sara. I hope that things will go good for you on this Monday morning. Dad.

.
" Wake up tomorrow morning a new word in your mind. Wake up tomorrow morning determined to be kind. A little smile or greeting, some friendly word you say. Will make the man you're meeting feel better all the day. "
.
This is from "Verses I Like."
.

.
You will find a few good recipes here at Tomato Casual today. It is good every day.
.
This is all that I have for now. I will be checking on Cam # 3 this morning, that is the one with the Audio, I can see that it has great possibilities for us. This coming Tomato season. we will be able to take this cam right in the garden with us and talk to you as we show you the tomatoes.
.
I am hoping that you have a good Monday morning. I will be back in the morning if my life is spared. Smile and be kind to all that you meet today. And be content and happy if you possible can.
