Cardiac cough
If you think you’re having a heart attack, cough vigorously. Coughing creates a pumping action that can push the blood through the body to the brain, which can keep you going until medical help arrives, says the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. However, when and how you cough is important. It should start with a single cough every one to two seconds in bouts of five coughs.
Joke of the day – God will provide
A young woman brought her fiance home to meet her parents. After dinner her father asked the young man into his study for a chat. “So, what are your plan?” he began. “I’m a theology scholar,” the young man replied. “Admirable,” the father said, “but what will you do to provide a nice home for my daughter?” “I will study and God will provide,” he explained. “And how will you afford to raise children?” “God will provide.”
The men left the study and the mother asked her husband, “How did it go?” “He has no money or employment plans,” the father said. “But on the other hand, he thinks I’m God.”

Say “I love you”
The writing was smudged and crooked. The verse did not rhyme and the cutout of the heart made less than a perfect Valentine. But the message from the little girl to her mom was clear: “I love you”.
Don’t wait to express your love for others. No matter how you package it, this gift is certain to bring happiness in your life and the lives of others. Failing to do so, can bring you a heart filled with regrets when the opportunity is lost. It takes so little in the way of time, energy and resources. Do it for yourself and someone you love today!
“The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love.” – Henry Miller
Hugs
Hugs are an expression of love without words – they can take the hurt out of a child’s scraped knee, soothe a troubled soul, comfort the grieving heart and put a smile on the face of almost any person who gives and receives one.
Hugs speaks for themselves, saying “I care, I accept you, I’m here for you, I’ve missed you, I like to be with you. Some researchers have concluded that children need as many hugs a day as they need glasses of milk. So, give and receive more hugs today.
“You can’t wrap love in a box, but you can wrap a person in a hug.” unknown author
Quote of the day – Richard B. Fuller
“Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren’t any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn’t be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life’s challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person. ”
― Richard Buckminster Fuller
Saving our planet
In a typical day, a person might drive to work alone, drink coffee from a disposable cup and eat lunch from cardboard with plastic ware. These seemingly harmless activities add to the overwhelming amount of pollution to our environment. It is easy to ignore and do nothing simply because the problem seems so out of control.
There are simple environment-conscious things we can do each day like recycling cans, bottles and newspapers; using baking soda and vinegar rather than harsh chemicals for cleaning floors and counters. Little changes in the way we live can have a positive effect on the future of this incredible planet. Taking care of the planet makes life better for everyone.
“Only when the last tree has been cut down,
Only when the last river has been poisoned,
Only when the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.”

Mother : Of course, dear.
Little Suzie: Then what are the others here for?
