The Heart of Compassion
As I grew older, I am realizing that I am not as compassionate as I used to be. Today during church service I asked God to exam my heart again and rekindle my love, kindness, meekness, patience which I suspect has been running out. I sometimes sympathize with drug addicts, but other times I believe that change comes from within. The addict has to be willing to make that change. Losing Whitney Houston at a young at of 48 is another wake up call what drugs can do our lives and people who love us.

Changing my lifestyle in eating habits, exercise and mostly losing the 68 pounds has tremendously made a difference in my life. There are other things that I did like eliminating stress in my life and being surrounded by positive people. Read more on this site -http://weightlossandculture.com/?p=910

Being Accountable
We are all accountable to what we do with our time, life and jobs. If I use my time wisely, I will reap good thing at the end. If I take care of my body, I live long and enjoy life rather than dragging along. I hope each one of us will take time to reconsider the things that are important to us.
We are approaching Christmas with family gatherings, presents, gifts and food, it is important to watch what we eat so that the work we have done in the year almost ending does not go to waste.
