Take time to smile, commit all in prayers. God got you. Today, I am writing on dysmenorrhea. Yea, painful menstrual flow. It's common right? Yea, i am glad you know. What exactly is causing it? How can you cope or manage it? At what point do you need your doctor? Dysmenorrhea originates from much contraction of the muscles of the uterus (womb). Pain, slight lower abdominal pain during your flow is not abnormal. It becomes what to be attended to when it makes you roll on the floor, cry or prevents you from doing your normal activities.

Hello, I saw this mission statement in a book I was reading and I want to share it with you perhaps you can learn from it. I will seek to balance career and family as best I can since both are important to me. My home will be a place where I and my family, friends, and guests will find joy and comfort, peace and happiness. Still I will seek to create a clean and orderly environment, yet livable and comfortable. I will exercise wisdom in what we choose to eat, read, see, and do at home. I especially want to teach my children to love, to learn, and to laugh, and to work and develop their unique talents. I value the rights, freedoms, and responsibilities or our Democratic Society.

I will be a self-starting individual who exercises initiative in accomplishing my life's goals. I will act on situations and opportunities, rather than to be acted upon. I w...
