Thyroid Health

I have a long standing interest in the Thyroid gland in the body. We are lucky enough that next week there is going to be a worldwide seminar to inform us of many things to to with this gland. We all have one, you can't exist without one. Is yours functioning to its best ability?

 

There is a big week coming up next week.

If you are interested if feeling more energetic, less fatigued, there is a possibility that you may have thyroid problems. 

Many people who know they have thyroid problems need more help to feel better.
Many people do not know they have thyroid problems. Could you be one of them? Do you feel worn out and tired most of the time? Do you have difficulty losing weight? Do you suffer from depression? It might be your Thyroid. 
 
Datis Kharrazian (pictured) has written a brilliant book all about the thyroid. It is called 'Why do I still have Thyroid Symptoms?' He is now collaborating with many other professionals to help us learn more about our thyroid gland. He is one of the many speakers who will give their time to help people around the world. 
 
This seminar is on the internet so we don't have to get on a plane and fly to the US. We can access this information from our favourite computer. 
 
Each talk is available only for 24 hours. So register today to gain this free information. If you cannot see all of the talks, they will be available for purchase. 
 
See you there next week.

Mystery

Mystery and Wonderment by Therese Vahland

Mysteries of the World

There are many great mysteries in the world - how it works, how the solar system works, how tiny ants can carry large objects over very long distances. 

Television shows try to tell us over and over that the only mysteries worth delving into are murder mysteries. Why do people kill each other? 

I notice on the telly that all the murder mysteries are getting more violent. Repeatedly the writers have the women detectives doing the shooting of the bad guys. Wrong move guys. Leave women out of it. We do not want to show women as being the killers. Women give life, not take it.

Women Hold the Greatest Mystery

Women hold one of the greatest mysteries of life on our planet. Women can give birth. That is one thing women can do that men have not been able to do in the last 50-60,000 years.

Wonderment

We wonder at the beauty of a baby when it is just born. We wonder how most babies are just right. They have all their fingers and toes and have them in all the right places. 

We wonder how the cry of all babies sound alike no matter what nationality they are born into.

We wonder at baby chickens and how they get themselves out of their eggshell. 

We wonder at the size of icebergs and are amazed at how they melt when they are surrounded by cold, cold seawater.

We wonder at the age of great sea turtles and wonder at their agility in the water and we also wonder at the strong urge that brings the female turtles ashore, dragging their large bodies up the sand, how they can dig a hole with no hands or feet, just to lay their eggs on land. 

We wonder and we think and we gaze. Occasionally someone is given an insight to a mystery. If luck goes their way, they are given help to use this to help mankind. Then we wonder how they did it.

Spend a little time each week in awe and wonderment of our great Earth and the mysteries it holds. It will make us all happier people.

Ostrich and Bantam Eggs

Eggs are all the same shape, no matter what the size or breed of bird. Have a look at some of the eggs that have passed through our household.

The large egg is just huge. It was laid by an ostrich on my brother's farm. It's shell is very thick and hard. These ostrich eggs are equivalent to at least twelve normal hen's eggs or more. 

The other eggs in the photo are from my bantams. There are some very tiny pullet eggs here and a couple of eggs a bit larger in the bottom row that are from eighteen month old hens. A normal hen egg is larger than the bantam eggs.

Ostrich and Bantam eggs

 

Wild birds lay eggs the same shape though they are smaller again. Emus are very large birds from Australia. They cannot fly. Their egg is very large also but a bit smaller than the ostrich eggs.

Birds are not the only creatures that lay eggs. Turtles also lay eggs. Their eggs are round and do not have a hard shell. 

A platypus, an Australian mammal that lives under water also lays eggs. 

Decorative Painting for Children

One of our granddaughter's turned three recently. She is more like thirteen, but that's the way it is with a lot of children these days. I'm sure they have been here before with the things that they know and the way they take so readily to technology.

Anyway, as it was her birthday coming up, I decided to paint a little dresser for her. She was interested in fairies and mermaids and the fairies won out. 

She was very excited with it. I hope she has a lot of enjoyment playing with it.
