Top of the day to you
Well today was another great day to be living in Paradise = North America and any Free Country for that matter.
I've been watching the Meteor Showers and was last night ever a winner. Monday
is supposed to be the big day for them.
There is a condominium right on the ocean at the end of my street and I know
the manager and she let's me in during the evening around midnight to chill
out from the day for about an hour or so. I lay down on a lounge chair to hear
the ocean and feel the ocean breeze while watching the enormous amount of stars.
There is a great lesson I learn from this, as last night was the darkest it
had been in quite some time and the stars shined the brightest. Not a bad thought
for when we get stressed out at times that when it's our darkest moments out,
the stars (opportunities) are at their brightest moments.
Well last night I saw at least 20 of them charge across the sky at lightning
speed. It is a special treat that happens each August about this time.
Sometimes I feel we should find something beautiful to notice. It doesn't have
to be something you see, it could be a scent! I kept on noticing a heap of night
blooming jasmine smells all the way home. Or maybe check out the sound of the
breeze slightly rustling the leaves in the trees. Or how about the way the morning
light and how it catches one autumn leaf as it falls gently to the ground. I
get the biggest kick out of the harmony of the sounds of the birds and the crickets
and locusts all day long to jive with our circadian rhythm. I look for these
things and cherish them. For, although it may sound trite to some, these things
are the "stuff" of life. The little things we are put here on earth
to enjoy. The things we often take for granted. We must make it important to
notice them, for at anytime...it can all be taken away.
I guess that's why I like to share a message of good health with you each week.
When we are healthy, these little things really mean a lot. But when we are
sick, nothing else means a hoot to us except to get well.
I have another snack for you this week and it's a great treat for any time
of the day. Of the 1000's of requests we get each year for just snacks, I have
been compelled to give you as many of them for this and next month as I can.
This month's article on the last Sunday of the month will be a Recipe for Permanent
Employment no matter what age you are and no resumes to fill out. We need to
have a healthy stream of income as well as a healthy nutrition regime in our
lives. This article is a real good one and will go along with this website we
created a couple months ago. www.waynepickering.com/rf
Just the same, check this snack out. It's called Mango Man's APPLESAUCE!
THE INGREDIENTS:
---- 8 FIGS = Fresh if possible as they are in peak season right now as we
speak.
Dried ones will do just fine if the fresh ones are not available. The fresh
ones are in the grocery stores by the heap. I have 4 Figs trees that are loaded
and they belong to my neighbors who hate them and they call me to eat them as
the birds are driving them nuts. They wanted to chop them down but I've convinced
them it would be a sin to do that. When I went down to talk to them about that
with my Bible in my hand, they knew they were in for a song and dance so they
backed off. Who says there's no power in the Bible?
By the way, a couple years ago I was coming home from Orlando where I was speaking
to a group and I always carry my Bible with me. I was feeling very good after
a very successful presentation and I did something I NEVER do. I picked up a
hitchhiker who was on the Interstate and looked like he was in dire straits.
When he got in the car I knew right then it was a major mistake as he was nervous
and jerky and started to give me a hard time. I maintained composure and he
noticed my Bible on the floorboard between him and me. When he asked what I
did, I told him I was an evangelist. Since I had my best suit on, he bought
it hook, line and sinker. I told him I was getting off the next exit and I let
him out at a very well lit up gas station. Lord I was relieved and kissed my
Bible. That was a boy howdy and 3 Hail Mary's if I ever saw one…mercy sakes.
---- 3 Golden Delicious Apples
---- 2 Dates
---- 1 ounce of Raisins
THE RECIPE:
In your blender, put the 8 either Fresh Figs or the 8 soaked Figs & 1 ounce
of soaked Raisins (in 4 ounces of distilled water over night) along with the
Golden Delicious Apples (do not peel the Apples), which have now been de-cored.
Put on a medium speed for about 30 seconds. Put in a dish and put the Chopped
Dates on top of it.
Now this dish is a great breakfast but if you are sitting around the tube at
night and want that snack as long as it's not within 2-3 hours of what you ate
for your evening meal, then this one will be a staple for you in your home..
This could very easily be a school kid's afternoon snack just home from school.

"Dr. Wayne,
My husband and I have been following your plan since Vegas and he has lost
16 lbs. and I have lost about 13. I know the goal is not to lose weight but
to feel great, but this is a great side benefit. I am very pleased with the
effect the plan has had on the acid reflux."
