Patience is a virtue, so they say.

Patience is what distinguishes a person who is broadminded and understanding, according to someone who defined patience.

Are you a patient person? Has your patience been tested a lot of times? What have you done about it?

I Can Draw But. . .

Being a teacher had me teaching myself how to draw. I can do basic drawing well enough for my students to know what these are.

Is there is one thing that I really do not enjoy drawing? Yes, there is and that would be clocks. Yes, clocks for telling time.

I have told myself countless times that I really, really need to have clocks (without the hands) made out of custom rubber stamps for easier usage but guess what, I haven’t even tried to look for someone who can make these things or asked about it in my favorite school and office supplies store.

Oh, that small bucket of rubber stamps with the alphabet, numbers, and a whole lot of noun and verb words that I have is very useful when I am too lazy to draw but no clocks there, not even one 😀

School will be starting in a few weeks and I know I have to get just ONE clock on a rubber stamp so I may not have to draw pages after pages of these clocks.

Palm Sunday Thoughts

Today is the celebration of Palm Sunday.

Ask the children and young people of today  if they know the significance of this special day and chances are, most of them don’t know what it is and why it is being celebrated. They just wave their coconut palms and get in line to be able to have the Holy Water hit their bodies.

People in the not-so-distant past have been so religiously attentive to these church celebrations, in contrast to how people are these days. And if those who belong to the older generation are gone, would these traditions still continue?

For those who are non-Catholics, they have their own versions of celebrating the Palm Sunday and one of these would be through prayers.

How did you spend Palm Sunday and what were your thoughts during that day?

It is Natural, Naturally

People try to be as healthy as they are able to, no doubt about it.

The natural way and the organic way are just some of the things that people try to engage in trying to be healthy.

My children have a tablespoon of honey almost on a daily basis (unless I foget to give them) and we have not had processed canned food for over a year now, except for canned fish like sardines and tuna in water. In the freezer are lean chicken and fish because we don’t have red meat often.

Fruits and vegetables? Sure! These are refreshing and full of nutrients and we love to have these often.

We need as much nutrients and anti-oxidants to fight against the city’s pollution and toxins.

Weight Management in Children

Last night over the radio, I heard one of the hosts say something about appetite suppressant and of course my interest was piqued so I asked hubby to turn the volume up.

Alas, the topic shifted to thrombosis so I was not able to listen to what they have to say about the first topic.

Why do I need to listen to that topic?

Because one mother of a student was thinking about getting these for the child since at four years old, the child is (very much) overweight. A discussion with the child’s other therapists and doctors will be scheduled for the weight management of this child.

I hope the management plans would be successful.
