An interesting article on sleep. What happens when we sleep, what happens when we don’t, and why naps are good.

I had a little epiphany as I was driving to work the other day. I was rehashing my views of ‘Hope’. I’d read something a while back about how it should really be considered an evil.

Just came across an interesting article. Enjoy

Seven Aspects of Wellness

Post-traumatic stress disorder was in the news recently. There appears to be a correlation between concussions and PTSD especially if the injury involved a loss of consciousness. My heart goes out to these soldiers.

Both of my grandfathers were in WWI but it was only my dad’s father that I believe had PTSD. It made sense as he saw much more combat than my mom’s father (pictured here) who was in a cooking outfit. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that there’s not any photos of my other grandfather in uniform. The war must not have held any good memories for him.

In the blink of an eye, 51 years fly by.

I found this photo in an old box I got from my parents when we had to move them to a nursing home. It’s one of my favorites of myself as it shows a true, spontaneous happiness. It is still possible to regain it - that’s my birthday wish, for me and all of you too.
