The Care Giver does not have time to focus on themselves. There is always something to do and always something else someone needs. There is always a phone call to answer or an appointment to make or cancel.
People forever ask, are you sleeping enough? Are you eating enough? Who's taking care of you?
These are all good questions but there is not always good answers. You see the normal mode of man/woman is to think of themselves. The "Nurturer" is not of your normal mode.
We have trouble saying "no". We just don't know when to quit on someone. We have an innate desire to fight until the bitter end.
My Doctor, friends and etc. reminds me continuously to take of myself. You really do have that intention and you know the high cost of not doing this. Yet, there are times when families/siblings don't work together as they should.
There can be a family of 10 siblings and for some reason when there is a situation that requires a Care Giver-one out of that bunch seem to arise.
My question is Who Cares for the Care Givers?
People often ask me, Esther how do you do it? How do you keep going? Don't you ever get tired? Do you just want to say enough is enough? Of course, I do and sometimes I hang my head and cry, and say poor girl you're going to die. And then the Joy of the Lord, my strength and shield stands up inside of me and says get up and get going.
I just think next. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. I maybe a late bloomer in somethings, but I know if I just don't quit it will come to pass.
Ben & I started a Lawn Care and Cleaning Service in Fla. years ago and it became a success in a matter of months. We were dead broke and had to use old beat up equipment to get started. We just keep fulling one contract after the other until one day. We went shopping and bought all new equipment, all of the same color, and brand name. We would drive up to our sites with our employees and start our jobs.
All eyes were widely stretched and mouths filled with questions: How did you do that? We've been in business longer than you have and we don't have the "gravy" accounts that you have?
Well, how did we do that? "
1."We thought right towards people"
2. "We tried to treat others the way we wanted to be treated."
3. "We listened to our customers and tried to satisfy their wants."
We are pursuing other avenues now because of "Life Events", but I'm determine to believe that if the formula worked once it will work again.

When most people start a home based business they are eager to talk to their friends, family, co-workers and pretty much everyone about their new venture. However, after a few failed attempts to make money from home people become less and less likely to share their new business with the people they care about the most. I’ve had many failures while finding the home based business that worked for me, and after a while I didn’t want to share any more. It’s my life and I deserve to be happy in my chosen career, so I didn’t give up, and I’m glad I didn’t. Many people give up right before they achieve victory.
For many people it’s almost a sense of shame or embarrassment that comes over them when they get ready to talk to loved ones about what they are doing on the side to make money.
“I told you that thing wasn’t going to work out”, “Why don’t you just get a REAL job?” and “What kind of a thing are you trying to get me into this time” are common phrases that entrepreneurs hear all too often when they talk to their friends and family and that’s why so many people are so reluctant to do so.
The first thing you have to understand is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with working from home or trying to build your own business. http://goneonvacation.info
That might seem like an obvious statement but you would be surprised at the number of people who are in home based businesses and never, EVER talk to their friends and family about it.
It’s like they are secret agents and if anyone should ever find out what they are doing it would be over for them. To be truly successful working from home you have to be proud of your business, and when you’re proud of your business you will have no trouble talking to the people in your life.
So what approach works best? People have different opinions on how to present a business to your friends or family but it pretty much just comes down to this. BE DIRECT AND HONEST.
Think of it this way. If you got a new job, a job that could potentially pay you 6 or even 7 figures a year you wouldn’t be ashamed to tell the people you love would you? No way! You would be excited and ready to tell as many people as possible. http://playtensongstoday.com
Well guess what? When you started your own home based business that is exactly what you’ve done. You’ve entered into a business opportunity that could change your life forever, both financially and by giving you the free time to live your life the way you choose! So come right out with it, be excited and be honest. When you are excited and speak with authority other people will get excited for you.
If you make it seem like you’re doing something to be ashamed of people will feed off of your negative energy. Don’t give them that chance.
The final thing to know when you’re talking to your friends and family is that some people no matter how amazing the company is are just plain going to have something negative to say about it. That’s just the way it is.
You can’t let other people’s negativity drag you down and keep you from reaching your dreams. Some people won’t believe you until you show them your success so go out there and prove them wrong!
Talking to your family and friends about your new home based business can be a very hard thing to do. But, by speaking to them directly and honestly and not letting their negative comments get you down you will be well on your way. (Alan Simmons) http://goneonvacation.info

Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge."
Millions of good Christians suffer unnecessarily with poor health and die prematurely. Why? Because we are not following the basic principles of health that are taught in the Bible.
We slice, dice, chop, blend, hydrogenate, refine, and dismember God's food until there is precious little nourishment left in it. We turn bodies that are built for activity into bodies that can barely get off the couch.
We repeatedly violate the body with drugs and surgery when prayer, rest, and good food are often the needed remedies.
God wants us to be healthy. Throughout the Bible, there are numerous references to God's love for His people.
John 10:10 "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
Many people undergo painful, expensive, and debilitating back surgery when all they needed was some chiropractic manipulation and some exercises to strengthen the region.
Many undergo open heart bypass surgery, which has been proven to offer no life extension, when they merely needed to change their lifestyle to clear out their arteries for good.
Many people undergo surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome ( a painful condition in the wrist) when vitamin B-6 cures 97% of these people.
Many arthritis sufferers take dangerous steroid drugs for decades to subdue the swelling when fish oil and a diet to eliminate food allergens could cure the problem.
Many people stagger around with no energy or ability to concentrate when a little magnesium and ginseng could give them a much more enjoyable and productive life. Someone stated,"let your Doctor become your food-let your food become your Doctor."
Those all-important vitamin B6-containing foods—include tuna, banana, spinach, garlic, bell pepper, dark green leafy vegetables, and Brussels sprouts—are critical for lowering your risk of unwanted inflammation. And if you already struggle with a chronic health problem like type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease or obesity, you are likely to need even more of these foods than you would otherwise need.
The B6-containing vegetables are easy to include in a Healthiest Way of Eating. Spinach and dark leafy greens can be added to salads or briefly cooked (and then drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper) for a delicious and nutritious side dish. If you quarter Brussels sprouts, they only take 5 minutes to steam!
"fiber, dietary
What can high-fiber foods do for you?
* Support bowel regularity
* Help maintain normal cholesterol levels
* Help maintain normal blood sugar levels
* Help keep unwanted pounds off http://goneonvacation.info
What events can indicate a need for more high fiber foods?
* Constipation
* Hemorrhoids if related to straining from constipation
* High blood sugar levels
* High cholesterol levels
Excellent food sources of fiber include: turnip greens, mustard greens, cauliflower, collard greens, broccoli, Swiss chard, and raspberries.
Even though the most commonly eaten grains are not included in our list of fiber food sources above, whole grains can be helpful in increasing your dietary fiber intake. However, when relying on whole grains for your dietary fiber intake, do not stop at the label information on the front of the package, even if the label says "contains whole grains." To assure yourself of optimal fiber intake from whole grains, be sure to take one of the following steps: (1) purchase your whole grains in bulk form (raw and unprocessed, and typically found in container bins in the bulk food section of the grocery store); (2) purchase products that stipulate "100% whole grain," or (3) flip the product over and take a close look at the Nutrient Facts panel for fiber content and make sure that you are getting between 4-14 grams of fiber per cooked cup."

From Occupation to Expansion
by Bill Johnson
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the warriors of old made this statement: "The purpose of war is victory, and the purpose of victory is occupation." In the Kingdom, we add one more step to the process: The purpose of occupation is expansion. http://goneonvacation.info
The Lord would not give the Promised Land to Israel all at once because they did not have the ability to occupy all of the territory. By only giving them the amount of land they could occupy, He positioned them for expansion. Expansion is vital to advancing the Kingdom of Heaven. The man who was given the one talent and buried it simply occupied and protected that accomplishment but suffered tremendously because he did not take what he had and position it for increase (Matthew 25:15-28).
It's important that we view life with the perspective of expansion and forward motion. When we think this way, we are positioning ourselves for increase and promotion. It's not healthy to simply find a place you want to stay in and occupy. The moment you have found a leveling-off place is the moment you begin backsliding. http://playtensongstoday.com
When your passion begins to decline, you already start to die. You were born to burn. Elisha came to the king and said, "Please strike the ground with these arrows." And he struck the ground three times. The prophet became furious at the king and said, "If only you had struck the ground five or six times you would have annihilated the enemy, but now you're only going to have three temporary victories." Because the king did not live out of passion, he couldn't carry the anointing that God wanted to give him, and it cost the nation. When leaders don't have passion, it costs everyone who follows.
Passion and the anointing run in parallel courses. A person with passion will take risks. Everything you want in the realm of the Kingdom is found through this veil of difficulty by stepping into the realm of inconvenience. You don't get it by coasting on yesterday's breakthrough. You were born for expansion.
BANGKOK – Responding to international criticism that its initial donation of $20,000 was insufficient, the Thai government has generously added 50,000 bottles of whitening skin cream to its aid shipment to earthquake-stricken Haiti. “Thailand is a compassionate nation,” said Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya.
“We noticed in the news that the Haitians are all very dark-skinned.
This is surely one of the reasons they are living in poverty. With
lighter skin they could be more successful.” The http://goneonvacation.info
donation is co-sponsored by Unilever Thailand Ltd., which has agreed to
provide the 50,000 bottles of Citra Ultra White if the government
provides shipping. Along with the whitening cream,
there will also be 50,000 copies of Citra’s new brochure, explaining
the power of Citra’s double-action anti-aging and brightening formula. “Citra
Ultra White lets you look and feel your best,” said Marlene Van Houten,
Unilever’s regional marketing director. “Whether you’re standing in
line for UN food shipments, or just sorting through the rubble of your
devastated village, Citra Ultra White provides whiter skin and all-day
UV protection.” http://playtensongstoday.com The whitening cream represents the single-largest shipment of its kind ever to a disaster-zone. Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said that the generosity of Thais was evident because so many people had encouraged the donation. “Everyone
kept talking about how black-skinned the Haitians are,” he said. “At
every discussion about aid, the skin color kept coming up. I see now
that the initial pledge of USD 20,000 was very low because in the back
of our minds we knew that these black people needed something more than
just money.” Many people interviewed for the story seemed to agree with the PM. http://helpingfamilieshavefun.info “I
donated some money to help the Chinese after the Sichuan earthquake,”
said office worker Vasana Prasarnmit. “But these Haiti people are so
dark I don’t want to give them anything. Maybe if they were lighter,
like Obama.” It
is believed that the whitening cream can make the homeless, starving
survivors of the earthquake look whiter and brighter in just 14 days,
according to the Unilever brochure. It is hoped that by looking whiter,
the Haitians might be able to secure more aid. “White skin is the key to success in life, whether it’s job interviews, finding a mate, or being elected to office,” said Chulalongkorn sociology professor Urmkit Srisomwattanathip. “There’s no reason to believe this is any different.” The Haitian government has tentatively accepted the donation, but has surprisingly appealed for more non-whitening aid. “We
have nothing,” said a local Haitian aid worker with the UN. “We need
shelter, food, clean water. There are hundreds of children dying every
day from dysentery. Please help us. For god’s sake, wake up and see the
suffering.”
Every time you and I are successful, it's because of some one other than ourselves. People with an attitude of gratitude understand that. They know that it's never been "all up to them".
Many focused on the fact that God warned the nation of Israel before they entered the Promised Land. http://playtensongstoday.com
"When you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settled down, and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied... You may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me." Deuteronomy 8:13,17 NIV
Then God went on to say that He was the one who had set them up to succeed and they should never forget it.
Now some might be skeptical of that, but think about it; the minute we are born, we are indebted to someone for nine months of room and board (Mom).
With a little effort, you can always discover the people to whom you are indebted. For example, if you're physically attractive, thank your parents. If you're educated,, thank your teachers and the taxpayers. If you're wealthy, thank the people who had enough faith in you to buy your product or to give you a job.http://helpingfamilieshavefun.info
And if you're not all of the above, but alive and well-thank the plant life that produces the oxygen you breathe, and then thank the God of the universe who put them here in the first place.
Personally, I thank God for my Mother daily. Then there was my elementary teachers who always dropped a note of encouragement in my hand.
Then there was my life long girlfriend who accepted me for me and never tried to change me.
Next was my soul mate and my loving late husband Ben, who would simply say, "babe, you can do it."
"A person whose heart is filled with an Attitude of Gratitude understand that"I am indebted to someone else for every good thing I have."

In our time of meditation, we may take a look at the greatness and endless differences of nature around us. We might even marvel at the wealth of
nature. The thought may enter our mind, how wonderful it could be if
we could tap into this magnificent power that made all this wealth possible.
And just as suddenly we realize, we can. If we conscientiously apply the Law of Abundance.
The Law of Abundance is about actually Being. It's a type of transformation if you will. A renewing of the mind. It's about changing your thoughts from 'oh if I had, to I have. I AM. It is about being wealth conscious. You need to Be Wealthy before you can think wealthy thoughts and take
wealthy action. You need to speak like a accomplished Musician before you purchase your first instrument. http://goneonvacation.info
Most think that it is hard to "Be" when you do not feel like you are. However, this thinking is further from the truth. Romans 4:17 "....and calling those things which be not as though they were" .You just do not realize that you already are abundant in
many aspects. When you walk by sight instead of by faith it will be impossible to see the abundance. You have constructed a physical and conscious reality
that has prevented you from seeing this.
In quantum physics, at the subatomic level, you recognize that everything else in the Universe is energy. Hence, even humans are essentially beings of energy. The
Universe is made up of energy, vibrating at various frequencies. This
means that we see things as they are because of the energy vibrations.
So what is the key here? It is through our focused thoughts that they become realities. Without these thoughts, they are only simply "waves" - probabilities of existence. http://playtensongstoday.com
I find myself coming back to the saying," What we think about we bring about". Hence, what we think has the power to change what we experience. Even now as I write this, my thoughts started to drift toward the negative and I began to research the Law of Abundance. Change my thinking. Choose to think towards the things I wanted and not towards the things I don't have. I started to be thankful for being constantly touched by the Law of Abundance and started to look for ways to help others get blessed.
So according to the Law of Abundance, if we simply decide that we are already in great wealth, then we will find that this will be the case. Money is a symbol of wealth. The rich people are wealthy not
because they have money but because they are wealth conscious.
If you keep thinking about the bills you have to pay, the designer shoes that you hope to get or the big house you hope to retire in, then you
are really in poverty consciousness.
Have you been touched by the Law of Abundance today? I have and you can too. Go to:

What kinds of behaviors should you expect from a loved one who has just been diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's disease? Johns Hopkins discusses 10 common
symptoms of early Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's disease is progressive, meaning it worsens over time. Alzheimer's is also terminal, meaning all who develop it will eventually succumb to it. As Alzheimer's rides its course, it renders those who
suffer from it increasingly dependent on the care of others. http://goneonvacation.info
This is true for all people who develop Alzheimer's, but the particular symptoms and the degree to which they show themselves vary among individuals. For convenience, the progression of Alzheimer's is often divided into three stages: early/mild, middle/moderate, and late/severe.
The symptoms and signs of Alzheimer's have been identified by observing people with Alzheimer's disease as a group. An individual may not show all of the symptoms in each stage of progression. For example, many --but not all -- Alzheimer's patients develop severe psychiatric problems,
such as delusions and hallucinations.
Among those who do, the symptoms appear in the middle to late stages of Alzheimer's.
It may help friends and family to familiarize themselves with the typical stages of Alzheimer's disease so that they know what to expect in the coming years.
The early/mild stage of Alzheimer's is characterized by declining ability to form new memories, impaired
ability to organize and manipulate complex ideas, and, sometimes, by
personality changes.
Misplacing belongings in odd places; losing valuable belongings, like wallet or purse
Difficulty finding the right word: "Tip of the tongue" syndrome
Person seems "not himself" and shows uncharacteristic behaviors
Lapses in judgment
Difficulty with mental arithmetic and handling money
Disorientation in unfamiliar places or situations
May become apathetic or withdrawn, avoiding social situations
More difficulty with routine tasks at work or at home, or may take longer to complete tasks
Irritation or anger in response to increasing memory lapses
Specific Examples
Asks the same question repeatedly within the same conversation
Puts car keys away in refrigerator
Unable to recall word for "car" and then says in frustration, "The thing you drive to work in."
A normally shy person becomes uncharacteristically outgoing or talkative at a family gathering
Agrees to buy services or products he/she doesn't need from telephone sales person
Finds it difficult to balance checkbook or figure out correct amount of money to pay for an item while shopping
Forgets to eat, skips meals, or eats the same food every meal

My family and I have decided to set aside time everyday, or one day a week and brainstorm a list of what we are thankful for.http://goneonvacation.info
It is so easy to be negative and ungrateful. I was taught to be thankful. Even in the though times, during the storms of life I continue to praise and be thankful because I know I will be delivered. I've learned that with a grateful heart, it opens doors for more and more good things to enter my life.
For example: My mother and I were widows and we live together caring for each other. I gave up working outside of the home because of Care giving for my disabled late husband Ben and my disabled elderly Mother. It is not easy living a lifestyle of Care giver for so long. I've been full time now since mid 2008. Many comment that "you are a good person for your devotion to your family and denying of you personal needs and desires."
I personally see it as my reasonable service and believe that they would do the same for me if the situation had been in reverse. http://playtensongstoday.com
With that said, there have been some pressing needs and scare times in these hard economic times we are in.
We had a leaky roof and did not know how it would be repaired before the snow season. Yet, God opened a door for a grant and it is repaired.
We were without hot water for a few weeks because out hot water heater bursted. We didn't have the extra funds in our budget to purchase a new one and have it installed- and yet God provided. A Christian called and asked if we had gotten a hot water heated immediately after we had gotten off our international daily prayer line and I said, "no". We were still deciding if we could get a used one to carry us over if possible. He said, "I have one for you, when can I come and install it for your family? I began to shed tears of joy and say thank you. You see, I had just the day before gone into Home Depot and priced the very heater knowing that I did not have the funds. God allowed this person to purchase and install this Hot water heater for us with no strings attached. God is so good.
He has and is doing so many things in our lives and I just live in an attitude of gratitude state of mind.
Ten Tips for Safer Emails
1. Don't reply to ANY unsolicited emails. Even unsubscribe will alert the senders that your
email address is being used.
2. Use your messaging software's filtering tools to reject mail from your frequent
spammers' email addresses or with certain words (sex, for example) in the subject line.
3. Find out if your ISP has a spam blocking service. If not, sign up for a third party spam
blocking service such as Brightmail (www.brightmail.com).
4. Contact the large directory services such as Bigfoot, Infospace, Switchboard, Yahoo
People Search, and whowhere, to tell them you don't want to be listed. http://playtensongstoday.com
5. Encrypt and digitally sign all your sensitive email messages. If your messaging
software doesn't support robust encryption, download PGP Freeware encryption
software (http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html) and use that.
6. Use WinZip (www.winzip.com) software to compress and password protect your
attachments.
7. To avoid cookies sent via email, use email client software, such as Eudora Pro, that lets
you shut off its automatic Web Browser rendering engine.
8. Don't read email on a machine that doesn't belong to you or someone you trust. If you
use a browser to read email on someone else's machine, use the browser's Clear
History tool when you finish to prevent subsequent users from getting into your
mailbox.
9. Don't send sensitive personal messages on your work machine.
10.Keep your antivirus software updated at all times.

I once had to put food back because we did not have enough to pay for the basic household needs. My late mother would often say, we will get it next time. To me a kid under sixteen years of age, next time meant thirty days away and even then it was a maybe. http://playtensongstoday.com
As an adult there are times when tears swell up into my eyes and that sinking feeling of having to put it back comes. You see, I am the youngest of five boys and three girls and I was born very late in my Mom's life. She actually thought she was done adding to her family. Anyways, she is older and on welfare and trying to survive in the state of Florida. She received thirty-two dollars per month plus what she could make baby sitting for the two of us to survive. She and I lived together until I was seventeen and she remarried.
She and I would go to the store and buy groceries, daring not to add any extras because we would not have enough for a bag of Chicken feed. Mom raised Chickens so we could have eggs and meat.
We made it through and God has kept us and brought us a long way. We are affected by the present economy just like most but, we are able to have a grateful attitude and know that God will provide.
When we hear of programs that bless us, we cannot help but share it with others. http://goneonvacation.info
I have always wanted to stand in the grocery line behind someone who could not completely pay for their groceries and be a blessing. Just because I've been there and I know how it feels.
This is a very interesting question and I pray I can give a just answer. As for me, I've always been told that I actually do well under pressure and I've always wondered why folks would say that. I was wondering if they knew something about me that I did not know?
Well, as life continued and the pressures continued to come, I found that I was able to stand up under pressure and not break or go to pieces and it was all because of who I had living inside of me. "Greater is He that is within me than He that is in the world."
Pressure brings out the best or the worst in a person. I found that there are two very important words: Flight or Fight.
There are times when I run to the safety of my father's arm. " He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (V7) A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee."
So I find that the best place for me is in the presence of the Lord.
There are times when I have had to fight. Oh, not with my physical strength. II Corinthians 10:4 "For our weapons are not carnal." We are to put on the armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Ephesians 6:11
I can remember standing in the gap for my Mother when she had Bradycardia and respiratory arrest. A medication threw her system and she was declared dead. God has sent a word and she is alive and well and looking to be a hundred plus.
I can remember standing in the gap for my husband when he was having heart attack after heart attack. I was in a battle for his soul and his body. It was not a time to run or break but to stand therefore (having done all, to stand) in the name of Jesus.
Will I break under pressure? Only if i let go of God's unchanging hand.

Arise, my soul arise, shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding sacrifice in my behalf appears:
Before the throne my surety stands,
Before the throne my surety stands,
My name is written on His hands.
He ever lives above, for me to intercede;
His all-redeeming love, His precious blood, to plead:
His blood atoned for all our race,
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
Five bleeding wounds He bears, received on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers;they strongly plead for me:
"Forgive him, O forgive,"they cry,
"Forgive him, O forgive,"they cry,
"Nor let the ransomed sinner die!"
The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One;
He cannot turn away the presence of His Son:
His spirit answers to the blood,
His spirit answers to the blood,
And tells me I am born of God.
My God is reconciled; His pardoning voice I hear;
He owns me for His child; I can no longer fear:
With confidence I now draw nigh,
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And,"Father, Abba, Father,"cry. Charles Wesley 1707-1788
One Methodist Minister said he knew of more than two hundred people who had come to Christ through singing this hymn. The story of one young boy is typical of many. He had gone to a revival meeting, and when the sermon was over, he dropped to his knees. "I knew I was sorry for my sins,"he said later," and I wanted Jesus to forgive me." The congregation sang this hymn of Charles Wesley, and the boy listened carefully. Some of the stanzas he did not understand very well, but when they came to the last stanza, joy exploded inside him.
The words"with confidence" changed his life. "It was just life being introduced to someone," he said. "From a penitent, weeping boy, I arose happy and smiling." And that's what Jesus does. He brings us to the point of denouncing our sinful lives, but then gives us the confidence to enter a relationship with Him.
