A Christmas Eve Snowfall
An original poem by: Freida Thomas
It’s Christmas Eve tonight,
The tree is all aglow with its white bright lights.
Songs of Christmas are playing on the radio real low,
the wood has been chopped, the fire has been stoked.
Alone, I sit sipping on hot cocoa and snuggled in my robe,
my friend is in my lap purring, I feel as if I’m the only one on the globe.
I’m here, yet my thoughts are straying to days gone by,
days when my true love was here by my side.
He loved snow on Christmas Eve, and always told me so,
He’d say, “Honey I love you so much, and I’d love it to snow!”
“It’s beautiful and flawless like just like you, perfect in every way,”
How wonderful it was to know he loved me and made me feel special every day.
Life’s not fair, why was he taken so soon?
From a wife who adored him and thought he had hung the moon.
I feel his love for me now, though I know he’s gone.
If it would just snow tonight, I would feel as though he had come home, you see
to enjoy the snowfall and to share another Christmas Eve with me.
I got up and checked the door, then walked to the window to see,
and sure enough it was snowing, it was hard for me to believe.
Small white snowflakes were falling, delicate and beautiful it had dressed the trees,
My love had come home again this Christmas Eve, just to see me!
As I went to bed, my heart was lighter, my tears had dried,
my true love was here with me, once more by my side.

The 10-minute, no-equipment workout
By MEGAN K. SCOTT - The Associated Press
It's November 10. Thanksgiving is in two weeks, followed by holiday parties, shopping and stress. Who has time for a workout?
No need to spend 30 minutes slogging away on the elliptical or making the rounds on the weight machines.
Here's a 10-minute no-equipment program that works the entire body from Peter Park, fitness expert for livestrong.com and Lance Armstrong's strength and conditioning coach.
Bridge
Reverse crunch
Plank
Negative push up
Lunge
Chair
CLICK link at the top of page for photos!
Note: Park recommends doing the workout twice a day for better posture, a stronger core and a balanced body.
THE WORKOUT
1. Chair pose (This works the lower back, hamstrings): Stand with your feet 6 inches apart. Bend your knees slightly and push your hips back. Lift your arms up above your head as high as possible while looking straight ahead. Keep your weight on your heels. Hold the pose for 30 seconds.
2. Glute bridge: Lie on your back with your arms at your side, palms down by your hips, knees bent at 90 degrees. Your feet should be 6 inches apart and flat on the floor. Push up through your heels to lift your hips as high as possible while squeezing the glute muscles. Hold for 15 seconds. Then lower. Repeat four times.
3. Plank (for your abs, core): Lie flat on your stomach with your toes touching the floor. Place your elbows directly under your shoulders with your forearms flat on the ground. Using your abs, lift your hips in the air until your body is parallel to the floor in a push-up position. Squeeze your glutes and brace your abdominals while holding a rigid plank position. Hold for 30 seconds. Then lower. Repeat.
4. Back extension (for the lower back): Lie flat on your stomach, your arms at your sides, with your legs extended straight behind you, heels touching and toes on the floor. Squeeze legs together. Press your elbows into your ribcage. Lift your hands off the floor. Raise your chest into the air while keeping your feet on the ground. Then lower. Do 2 sets of 15 repetitions. On the last rep of each set, hold the highest position possible for an additional 15 seconds.
5. Hip flexor stretch (for the hip flexors, quads): Step into a long lunge. Lift arms straight above your head and extend them back slightly. Bend your torso back and away from the rear leg to stretch the side of the body. Hold for 30 seconds. Do the same on the other side.
6. Wall squat (legs): Press your back flat against a wall, legs shoulder width apart. Slide down until knees are bent about 90 degrees. Keep your upper back against the wall and raise your arms completely above your head. Keep your head, back and arms firmly against the wall. Hold for 45 seconds.
7. Negative push up (arms): Move into the plank position, and slowly lower body evenly to the ground, holding strong through the core. The negative push up should take 15 seconds from top to bottom, in a constant slow motion.

Hospitality
Does the word Hospitality scare you? It does me. To be hospitable to me has always conjured up images of having to be "perfect", meaning having to have a nice, clean house, using the best china, and being the best cook. I know this comes from insecurity and a general lack of self esteem. Feeling that I'm never "good enough". But I've been thinking about what God considered hospitable in the Bible. Do you remember the story of the woman at the well, who simply gave Jesus a "sip of water". This wasn't much, but I'm sure it meant alot to Jesus who was thirsty. A simply kind gesture is hospitality.
What about when Jesus was at the home of Martha and Mary? True, Martha opened up her home to him, but it was Mary who sat at Jesus feet and listened to him and spent time with him. Martha was too busy working and preparing the meal. Jesus considered what Mary did, as the most hospitable gesture. For the complete story read, Luke Chapter 10.
While these are just 2 of the many instances in the Bible where hospitality is practiced, it makes me rethink my old definition of hospitality.
Maybe I just need to be "me" and not worry about appearances when someone visits my home. All I need to do is spend time with them and not apologize for how the house looks, or how the meal tastes. Hospitality should be only about making people feel comfortable around you and in your home. All the other "stuff" doesn't matter.
I'm going to make a true effort to me more hospitable in the coming new year. Think about this and ask yourself, are you truly practicing hospitality or are you worrying about what other people think about how you measure up?
*************************************************************
Until later........... Have a blessed day!

Check out these Freebies!
Free Sears Halloween Portrait Collage
Not content with giving away free toys on Halloween (more on that soon!), Sears is also giving away a free Halloween-themed portrait collage worth $44! You’ve got until Saturday, October 31 to use the coupon and the fine print says nothing about making an additional purchase.* So if your kid looks especially cute in their costume this year (and come on, how can they not?), you might want to take advantage of this.
*****************************************************
CVS currently has Campbell’s soup on sale for 2/$1. Coupons.com is hosting a free $1/2 coupon (IE link) (FF link), meaning you can get free Campbell’s soup! CVS has a limit of 6 cans, so if you have access to multiple computers, print out a few extra coupons.
I don’t know about you, but it’s gray, dreary, and rainy where I live and soup sounds fantastic for lunch. Now if I can just find a store giving away free grilled cheese sandwiches, I’d be in business.

Get a New Look : Shop your Closet
It's free! Shop your closet. Chances are you'll find things you didn't remember having. This season is going to focus on the 80's retro accessories. Without spending a cent, glam it up with gold earrings and necklaces or with high shine metallic belts and purses. For a more casual look, slip off your socks and slip into a preppy pair of penny loafers! Look in your closet and think back to the 1980's and you may just find something that is back in style this fall/winter season.
One more tip: According to the latest magazines, Natural looking hair color is the trend this season. Stay away from stripy highlights and go for a bold, natural brown, like Clairol Natural Instincts; shade 20.

Save $$ on Grocery Store Staples
Hi,
Here are a few tips on saving on the staples you buy often.
1. Buy butter and milk when they are on sale, and put them in freezere. Milk can be frozen for up to 3 months. Butter will last in freezer 6 to 9 months.
2. Check out the convenience stores. They sell milk, soda and other items sometimes for less to entice drivers to stop there for fuel.
3. Forget brand loyalty! Use coupons for unfamiliar brands to save money. Store brands are often even less expensive. There is usually no taste difference between name brands and off or store brands.
4. Stock up on cereal when it's on sale and when you have a coupon. Combine the two and buy several. Unopened cereal will last for months in the pantry.

Easy At Home Spa Tricks
Hi! Sorry I haven't been here in a few days, been behind. Glad to be back.
Try these spa tricks at home to remedy some problems areas on your face and scalp.
1. Soak up oil on a greasy scalp by sprinkling with a little baby powder.
2. Deflate puffy eyes with a cold spoon. Place spoon in the fridge for awhile, then close your eyes and hold back of the spoon against lids.
3. Steam-clean your pores with a bowl of boiling water. Boil on stovetop or heat in microwave until boiling. Sprinkle in a couple drops of essential oil or loose dried herbs like lavendar or rosemary. Place face down over bowl of hot water, hold a towel over your head to make a tent, and let the steam draw out all the impurities and open up your pores. It will probably open your sinuses too!
4. Moisturize dry patches on knees, elbows and feet with a dab of olive oil.

A Poem: I Dream........of an Afternoon Nap
Good morning and Happy First Day of Fall! It's hard to believe that summer is officially over. I don't know where it went, do you? Well anyway, I'm ready for the Fall. Today, I want to share a poem I wrote last night when I was thinking about when I was a little girl. To read it, click on the title above: A Poem: I Dream of an Afternoon Nap. I hope you can relate to it in some way.

An afternoon nap is free and it is simple, but it
can bring you a new perspective on things.
