...and a very big Welcome to new friends.

Welcome and Happy Mother's Day to all the very special Mothers out there.

Soon after, in 1914, the US Congress passed legislation designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.

Mother's Day has become very commercialised but it is a day when we can all remember our Mothers, what they have done for us and how very special it is to be a Mother.

I will be spending the day with my Daughters in Townsville and attending a special Ladies High Tea at which Katelyn will be showing off some of her beautiful creations.

Hope you are all doing something special.

Live and Work Like Your Mother is Watching, by Harvey Mackay

A mother was invited for dinner at her son Brian's apartment. During the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but notice how beautiful Brian's roommate, Jennifer, was.

Brian's mom had long suspected a relationship between Brian and Jennifer. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between them than met the eye.

Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you Jennifer and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Jennifer came to Brian saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" Brian said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an email just to be sure."

So he wrote: "Dear Mom: I'm not saying that you 'did' take the gravy ladle from the house, I'm not saying that you 'did not' take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner. Love, Brian."

Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that read: "Dear Son: I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Jennifer, I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Jennifer. But the fact remains that if Jennifer were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the ladle by now. Love, Mom."

Mackay's Moral: Never lie to your mother ... or anyone else.

Water for Wellness

Two of the most essential nutrients of life are water and salt and some of the problems caused by a deficiency of these nutrients are:....

Arthritis, asthma, autism and other birth defects caused by the mother being dehydrated, most back problems (without enough water & salt the body cannot produce enough cartilage to prevent joint degeneration), cancer, high cholesterol which only appears when the body needs it to prevent water loss in cells, circulation problems, depression, diabetes, fibromyalgia, headaches, lupus, Multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, obesity, osteoporosis, scleroderma & most skin problems and thyroid problems.

It would seem far too simple to imagine that we could actually cure any of these problems just by adding water and salt to our diet.

But, according to Dr Batmanghelidj who is the Author of Your Body's Many Cries for Water you can do just that.

He says:

"You're not sick, you're thirsty. Don't treat thrist with medication."

I have outlined his "Water Cure" in more detail on my Wellness Choices Blog or you can read all about it at http://www.watercure.com - well worth reading!

Staying well hydrated offers many health benefits.  You are more likely to have smoother skin, regular bowel movements, have increased resistance to infections because of the moisturizing effect on the mucous lining of the respiratory tract and lower the risk of kidney stones and urinary tract infections.

To add great nutritious flavour to your pure water, slice up some cucumber and add fresh mint, let it sit in a pitcher or glass for about 30 minutes, stir well and enjoy.
