Tea can be healthy
The tea plant’s scientific name is Camellia sinensis. It has certain properties that have become known to many over the ages. The plant can be very beneficial to those with certain cancers. Tea can actually help slow the spread and growth of cancers such as skin, liver, and stomach cancer. It has other helpful qualities as well.
Many believe that tea is good for the teeth. It can kill bacteria’s and increases the acid resistance of enamel. It also contains fluoride that keeps teeth healthy. Tea is also able to help Alzheimer’s disease victims as well as those with poor skin. I am glad that Mother Nature has provided us with this wonderful plant!

Locked away deep inside a very secure vault is the hope of mankind. I’m talking about the “Doomsday” seed vault in Norway. The vault is located in a remote area of Svalbard archipelago. The vault contains over ½ million seeds collected from around the world. It is the largest and most diverse collection in the world.
The intent of the collection is to safeguard the seeds in the case of wars, natural disasters, or other destructive events. It can provide the world with new seeds in the event the supply is lost. There are other seed banks around the world, but we have seen that some of them have been destroyed. I’m glad to know that we are looking toward the future with an eye to prevention.

One thing I really enjoy is having my morning coffee. I have a coffee maker that has a timer on it and I set it up each night. There is nothing better than waking up and having my coffee ready. The wonderful smell is so inviting and makes me want to get out of bed! That first sip is wonderful!
My daughter enjoys coffee as well. That is a little surprising as she is still so young. I think it’s great that she enjoys it as much as I do. Lately, I have been drinking the Dunkin Doughnuts coffee. They make a pretty good brand and I like it a lot. I guess I’ll always be a coffee junkie!

We haven’t had much snow around here, so I’ve decided to take a weekend trip a little further north and go skiing for the weekend. I’m taking off from work half a day to get an early start on the drive to West Virginia and I hope to get to the resort around 9:00 pm. I lose an hour just from the time zone change to Eastern time and if I’m lucky I won’t lose much more time stuck in traffic going around Knoxville. I hate Knoxville rush hour – it is as frustrating as any other big city, but if I leave at noon I should just beat it.
The resort in West Virginia is very small but they are nice and kept up nicely. I can’t wait to hit the slopes and then the hot tub. I need a nice break from all this stress at work and skiing is just the ticket.

Remember the Pet Rocks and The Worry Stones that were so popular “back in the day” actually The Worry Stone was and still is a great product that a lot of people are still using today. I am constantly finding small rocks and stones that would be perfect to be used for these stress relief product, they usually find their way into my pocket but end up disappearing sooner or later. Maybe I should considering keeping all that I find – put them in a jar or something until I have a good amount and start marketing these wonderful little Worry Stones once again.
A thought to ponder.
