LIFE IS LIKE RIDING A BICYCLE

MY PHOTO FOR THE DAY - ANCIENT POTTERY

The pots are not pieces of relic or 'ancient'. The pots have been beautifully designed, sculpted and painted to give it an ancient look. They are available at A to Z stores in Shuwaikh.

HUMOR - AWARENESS

GIRGIAN - A DELIGHTFUL CELEBRATION

Girgian celebrated during the 13th, 14th and 15th day of Ramadan is a children's delight. Girgian was held last week. Children go to neighbouring houses singing Girgian songs and they receive plenty of chocolates, nuts and candy. Grown ups too enjoy the occasion as much as children and whether you are a child or a grown up, everyone enjoys the tradition of gifting each other candy, nuts and chocolates. Girgian has become more commercialized now with many shops selling amazing goodies, confectionary and traditional sweets in artistic and attractive packaging. Several Malls, shopping outlets, establishments celebrate the spirit of Girgian by holding games, events with cartoon characters and distribute candy to children.

My husband got his Girgian gift from his office. Its a yearly tradition at his office where all the staff are given Girgian gifts during Ramadan.

SEARS - TINY ARTIFICIAL PLANTS

Look at these really sweet looking tiny artificial flowers and plants. They would make nice pieces of  plant decor especially at window sills. They have a soothing, peaceful look. They are available at Sears in Dajeej. As for the clothing and footwear, I wish they'd bring all the new and latest stuff, like what they have in Sears outlets back in U.S.

Here are some photos.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me - Henry Ford

Friends are those who nourish the spirit

Friends are angels following you through life

HUMOR - MARRIAGE

He looked at her slowly...then said, "You're A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H.... I, J, K."

She asks...... "What does that mean?"

He said, "Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Fancy, Gorgeous, Honey.

She smiled happily and said...."Oh, that's so lovely.....

What about I, J, K?"

He said, "I'm Just Kidding!"

His eye is still swollen....but it will get better.........

WEIGHT LOSS - WISH YOU WERE THINNER? HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS

On a weight loss journey, we find ourselves travelling into our past imaginging how thin we were, the smaller size clothes we used to wear, and how good we looked or how good we felt back then. It's okay to resort to time travel and think of yourself postively. Well, tell you what, use the same technique, travel into the near future and imagine how you want to look like, how much weight do you want to lose. Let's say you want to lose 4 to 2 kilos a month (which depends on your food choices, calorie intake, exercise), how would you look like in 3 months? You can already picture yourself dropping two or three sizes, fitting into smaller size clothes. Does the mental image of the thinner you make you happy? The best news is, it does not have to stop at picturization of your intent or goal in your mind. Science and scientists have proved a huge connection between mind and body communcation. What your mind tells your body is important. When your mind begins to think and feel strong positive thoughts about losing weight and you wake up determined everyday to do what it takes to lose weight, that is exactly what your body would do, lose weight.

Choose a healthy diet, eliminate or cut down what your body does not require, exercise, stick to it, be honest to yourself during your weight loss journey. Dedicate a few months of your life to reducing your weight.  You will be rewarding youself with a healthy body, healthy mind, and a great sense of accomplishment. In the meantime, be proud to be who you are. Let the weight not stop you from appreciating the person you are.
