Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Summer is almost upon us, and as everyone knows the three months of summer don't last nearly as long as the three months of the other seasons, I thought we'd better herald its arrival a day early.

HEALTH REPORT:
From
Me
('65) of NC - 06/20/13 - "Yesterday's Trip to the Doctor":
I went back to see my doctor yesterday (or
rather my PA whom I adore, if for no other reason than because he gave me those
miraculous and painless steroid shots in my knees two weeks ago).
The first thing I found was that by cutting back on the carbs and
cutting WAY back on the sodium, I lost twelve pounds in two weeks! YAY!
Sure, it's "prolly" all water weight. Now ask me if I care.....
Next my BP was 126/70 - SUPER!
Then I had some blood work done. All those results are not in, but
I do NOT have diabetes! MORE YAY!
He filled out the forms so I can get a handicapped sticker for the
car! WHOO-HOO! The DMV paperwork listed seven qualifying
possibilities; I scored on two of them: "Cannot walk 200 feet without stopping
to rest" (knees or no knees, I'm gonna be so short of breath by that time, I'll
be in major distress), and "Is severely limited in their ability to walk due to
an arthritic, neurological, or orthopedic condition" (there again, do not put
unnecessary added wear and tear on what might be left of my knees).
STILL MORE YAY!
My knees are still good from the steroid shots two weeks ago, and
could remain so for as long as a year! SWEET!
Then my knees were X-rayed. He said, "That's some BAAAD
case of arthritis - bone against bone!"
At last some
validation - which I hope will at last silence all those people who keep
telling me I just need to exercise. Would they care to drive their car
when the brakes are rubbing metal against metal?? No, I didn't think
so!
I had an EKG which showed that (despite rumors to the contrary) I
really DO have a heart. In addition to the previously diagnosed slight
heart murmur (which he could not really hear then), I have some inferior wall
damage to my heart. I say, if you're gonna have some damage, it should
be inferior, right? (Well, okay, inferior in this case simply refers to the
bottom portion of the heart, but why mess up a good story?)
I'm going to be seeing a cardiologist soon for a stress test on a
treadmill (which sounds just ducky, I must say). I forgot to ask for a
report on the possibility of congestive heart failure (which, complicated by
emphysema, was the cause of my maternal grandfather's death). I'll find
out more about that from the cardiologist.
So that's my
story!

From http://www.SelfGrowth.com - 06/17/13 - "Summer Resolutions":
Summer Resolutions By Danish Ahmed
Specific. We need to have hard numbers on our goals. However, this is not to be confused with being "precise." It's okay to have ranges of numbers. In fact, it's better for the subconscious mind if we have a "minimum," "target," and "outrageous" goal set. That way, we have both the advantage of setting a high goal that we would love, and still be excited if we only achieve our "minimum." Measurable. This is so we will know whether our goals are being achieved or not. This is not to be confused with being "comparable." Sometimes we set goals and then check and see how our friends, who may have similar goals, are doing. Goals are not meant to be compared with others. We want to compare our achievements with our own past. Affirmative and Action-oriented. Our minds don't like to stop old habits, but love to create new habits. This doesn't mean that we need to be "achieve"-oriented and that all our goals should help us be more productive or successful. Goals can be about taking time off, having fun, living, laughing, and enjoying life. Realistic. The subconscious mind will reject goals that are not realistic. However, "realistic" is not the opposite of "optimistic." We can have optimistic goals that are also realistic. In fact, these are the best types of goals to have. Time-sensitive. Without a due date, we would never return a book to the library. Note that "time-sensitive" doesn't mean "time-constrained." We're allowed to go back to the library and borrow the same book again. So, let's not feel guilty if we haven't achieved a goal in a particular time-period. Let's reset the goal and go for it again. Set new goals today so that you can have the best summer yet!

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
