Neck and shoulder pain can be relieved with stretches. Part of this is from poor posture but the main cause of my problem is osteoarthritis. One of my orthopedic doctors probably mentioned posture, cold and hot packs, along with stretches. After my own skepticism wore off, I realized he was right. Psst: Frequent interruptions are ...
Sunshine makes my spirit brigter. Frankly, I’m not concerned about damages because sun exposure is natural heat (I don’t over do it). Vitamin D from nature, food and sunshine, is only one simple way to feel better. Conflicting information exists about so many things. I stopped listening. Rain is music to my ears. That beautiful ...
Journaling brings relief from worry that causes stress. Michigan State University backs up the evidence of James Pennebaker study during the 80’s that expressive writing allows people to deal with anxiety, stress, and improves the immune system.

The medicine I’m taking is causing water retention and swelling. I’m 30 pounds over the ideal weight. That extra load is not helping with aches and pains. Now it’s foot pain, wrist and neck… What to do? I’ll sleep on it. I’ve heard that helps. People can lose weight while they’re sleeping. Maybe it’s because ...
Fifteen to twenty minutes of warm sunshine through the day is amazing for pain relief. On bare skin! Lighting helps me cope with a transition between traditional cigarettes and vaping. I sort of miss not going outside for a smoke; but it’s easy to sneak a vape anywhere. People might notice a whiff of fruit. ...
