Where Are We Headed
I was answering some questions online the other day and was perplexed by some of the questions and answers that were posted. People are pulling away more and more from their families. What ever happened to liking your family? I mean, we want to spend time with family, but the time spent is not bringing us closer. In fact it is isolating us as individuals more and more. Where is the true quality time? Just this morning I was talking with a friend and the subject came up about the large homes that were built many years ago. The homes were not built large because the family wanted a large home, but rather that they needed the space. You see they would have three or more generations living together. Families were close, they worked together for the benefit of the whole, not just the individual. As families we have gone astray from the things that are really important. Just as well as a nation. What we see in the big picture is a magnification of what it is made up of, families. You see, until we get it right at home it will never be right abroad. I do see a change happening; people are going back to the basics, finding out what is really important. The challenges that we face today require us to lean more on one another. It has to start in the home first and work, before it can work with our neighbors. As we build relationships with the people around us we will see needs that we can help with and they with us. Single mindedness and pride must go, so community can come back to America. We are going to have to work together to make it through this economic mess that we have gotten ourselves into. Yes that WE have gotten ourselves into. Change can only happen when we realize that we have to change and take responsibility for making it better. No one else can make the difference in our lives but ourselves. Don't pass the buck, take a stand and be the change that you are looking for. Someone has to be different to show everyone else what it looks like. Just think, we would all still be riding horses to work if no one had wanted it to be different. How far does it have to go before we decide to change. The further we let it go the harder it will be to get back on track. Change has to start somewhere, why not with you....
Out of Site Out of Mind
Before you know it the ground will need tilled up, and the gardens set out. Yes Spring is just around the corner and we all will be caught up in Spring fever; cleaning up and starting new projects around the house. There is a lot of upkeep that has to happen at home as well. New paint, lawn care, repairs that could not be done through the winter. One thing that most over look is there air conditioning system. Did you know that your heating and air system is the most used appliance you have. It gets more miles on it than you vehicle. We would never overlook the maintenance of our ride because we depend on it so much, yet the thing that keeps us warm all winter and cool all summer is forgotten about year after year. Out of site out of mind? As with your vehicle proper maintenance can cut down on costly repairs and help your cooling system run much more efficiently this summer. With fuel and utility cost continuing to rise we can not afford to let our vehicles or a/c systems just get the minimum any more. We have to help keep cost down anywhere we can these days. Check out this site page and see what your system could be costing you..... http://www.absoluteclimatecontrol.com/ComfortClub.html
What, Grandma was wrong?
I have fond memories of the winter as a child. I always remember going over to Grandma's house. Paw Paw always had the wood stove blazing to keep Grandma warm. Grandma seemed to live in the kitchen, she was always in there whipping up some kind of treat for us kids. It always smelled so good. I remember one year it had snowed about about 5" which is quite a bit for North Georgia and for a kid. We thought that the North Pole had come to us. (Don't worry, I have not gotten off track, I remember what I was writing about.) Grandma and Paw Paw only live a block away and our cousins were close by as well, so we all seemed to meet at Grandma's. We decided that we were going to build the worlds biggest snow man and as a kid we just didn't think some things all the way through. There was the best hill on the road above Grandma's, and we decided that was a great place to start the base of our snow man. So full of excitement I piled up some snow into a ball and started rolling it around. It was easy at first, but the snow built up very fast and the ball got bigger and bigger until I had to call for help to push it. With all of that hard work I was working up quite a sweet and took off my stocking cap, then my coat. As my cousins helped, they got hot too. Grandma looked out to check on use and about went nuts to see all of us out there without our heads not covered and no coats on. She yelled out at us, yes you know what she said,"Cover your heads, put thoughs coats back on." Here it is the famous Grandma quote,"Your gonna catch neumonia!" So use being the good kids that we were, we bundled back up until we just could not stand it again. Off went the coats and hats. We were focused on achieving our goal, the worlds biggest snowman. The snowball got even bigger, to the point that no matter how hard we pushed or how many of us pushed we just could not get the snow ball to move. My dad and uncles came out to move it out of the road and could not get it out. So there in the middle of the intersection was this 4 foot snow ball. We could see the intersection from the yard and as people started getting out on the roads, we could see that they were quite surprised to see this huge snow ball in the intersection. Unfortunately we never did build the worlds biggest snowman, and despite us being outside most of the day without being bundled up no one got sick, not even a cold. Well at the time I did not know what was going on and Grandma didn't know fully why, but now I know. Remember that wood stove at Grandma's house? On the top of that stove Grandma always kept a kettle filled with water so the air would not dry out so much. Grandma did not know how much good she was actually doing for her home and health. This is why we did not get sick. You see in the winter the air is much drier and with our heating systems we dry out our homes even more. With it being cold outside we tend to stay indoors more and viruses are inside as well. Along with the air being more dry, our sinus cavities are to. When our sinus cavities are dry we are more subject to getting sick. So Grandma was wrong in the fact that being outside in the cold would make us sick, but you know Grandma always know best and did keep that kettle full of water to steam into the air. Today we spend more time indoors, and our home are built tighter and more energy efficient than ever. That is a good thing for energy, but when it comes to indoor air quality it is a bad thing. That is why the HVAC industry offers so many more options to improve the quality of your indoor climate. Most of us do not have the old wood stoves like Grandma and Paw Paw, so we can not just keep the kettle full. This is why we install Steam Humidifiers into your central heating and duct system. With a steam humidifier we can introduce moisture into the airstream and deliver it throughout your home for total comfort and health. Keeping your homes humidity level up will also help your skin to not get so dry and itchy. It is also better for your homes interior so the wood does not get dried out and crack.
