When I was 15 years old and only wanted to be done with school, time seemed to crawl on its hands and knees. Now that I am of a very mature age, time has found its legs and can run faster than a speeding bullet. At least that’s the way it seems to me. I would venture a guess that our young students know exactly what I am talking about. In September, the next summer vacation seems but a distant hope, while the one just past is only a fleeting memory.

If you’re like most people, you enjoy spending time outdoors and feeling the heat of the sun on your skin. But not all the sun’s rays are pleasing.
Ultraviolet (UV) light — invisible, but intense rays from the sun — can damage your skin and increase your risk of skin cancer.

I love weddings; large weddings, small weddings, it does not matter. I love the beautiful decorations, the lovely clothes, and the music. Most of all I love the romance and the sense of hope, love, and life-long commitment that is in the air at these events. We all wish the happy couple well and pray that they will always be as happy in years to come as they are on their wedding day. They make promises to love and cherish each other always. I am sure they all have good intentions of living “happily ever after” together, but how do they actually make that happen?

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. The festive decorations are appearing in stores earlier and earlier. In fact, it is not unusual in October to see a Jack-O- Lantern a few steps away from a Christmas tree with all the lights and trimmings. Though most of this is competitive marketing, I like to think that at least some of it is still due to the excitement and pleasurable anticipation of celebrating the holiday season.

It’s been said that women have a ‘sixth sense.’ They have this internal radar that lets them know when something isn’t quite right. The ability to wake up before their baby cries or to check on a friend just one more time is a gift most women are born with. It’s in their nature to take care of others and make sure everyone around them is happy and well.

I recently watched an old movie starring Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin. Sandra Dee actually wore a suit (skirt and top) along with heels to clean an apartment. My, how things have changed! Not only have we changed our approach to our work, but we have changed what work we approach.
More women work outside of the home in a variety of occupations. Some of these occupations contribute to a common condition in the workplace that leads to missed work days. It begins with a tingling in the hands and can eventually lead to surgery.
