Taking care of stress

The stress in our lives has gotten me to test out a new type of therapy.
Acupuncture

The benefits include:

• It provides energy, strength and vitality to a recovering patient.
• It works to boost the immune system.
• It eliminates the need to take painkillers or it eliminates the actual pain.
• Patients seem to recover faster as a result of continuous acupuncture sessions.
• Acupuncture was proven to improve the body’s circulation and in some cases, even reduce stress symptoms.
• It may be administered alongside clinical treatments without causing dangerous side-effects.
  It can be a form of preventive medicine, as some may undergo acupuncture without any particular ailment, but nevertheless, reaps the benefits of it.

Golfing

Today, Elizabeth and I were schooled in minature golf by Hilary and Mark. Schooled, meaning that they taught us the rules that little kids follow when they are on the golf course.

Olympic record

New Olympic record --

Tonight, I ate 10 big scallops courtesy of Sea Trade International.

Best Scallops in the world...... Next time, I will try and shatter the record.

Thinking..

Thinking of the family in Puerto Rico

We had a craving for Puerto Rican food and went to Sol Food in San Rafael, California. Ate so much that I am done eating for a few days.

We made it

For years, I had hoped I would get my picture on top of the fireplace located in my parent's living room. Little did I know that all I had to do was get married.

But I made it. We made it. Our picture is up there
