1. Say "I Love You" at least once a day. Your partner does need to hear the words.

2. Kiss good-bye & hello. Throw in a hug while you're at it.

3. "Date" your partner for the rest of your lives. Treat your partner even better than when you were dating... Remember that you are sweethearts: open her door straighten, his tie hold out her chair hold hands when you're walking together

4. Don't sweat the small stuff. You can let his/her bad habits bother you to distraction. .. or you can accept them, and work around them. Does she leave the cap off the toothpaste? Buy separate tubes... Does he leave clothes laying around? Ignore them, or pick them up, remembering just how much he does for you in other ways. Or, make it easier for your partner to satisfy you... buy several clothes hampers and keep them handy.

5. Concentrate on the positive. Instead of thinking about the ways that s/he lets you down, think of all the positive things about your partner that drew you to them in the first place.

6. Take a breather when you're mad. Don't try to talk when either of you are angry. Take a few minutes to walk around the block, lay down, just get away from each other so you can regroup. A short break will allow you both to stay on track and discuss what's bothering you instead of accidentally making personal insults that you will regret later.

7. Don't use your partner's secrets or weaknesses against them... ever! What may seem insignificant, trivial, or cute to you may be serious to your partner. Recognize what is important to your partner, and don't discuss it with your friends, mother, his family, anyone! And certainly don't throw the words back at them in an argument. A loving relationship is one of the most intimate and trusting that anyone can have.

8. Think about your partner first. If both of you do this, then you can't help but win! Say "yes" to your partner as often as possible... go to that sports event with him, get him out on that golf course because he loves golf, make life easier for your partner, and hopefully they will do the same for you!

9. R-E-S-P-E-C- T your partner. Don't badmouth your partner to anyone! When you talk about your partner, let your respect and love shine through.

10. Find a way to regroup together every day. Discover what works well for you both... eat a meal together, meet for happy hour drinks, skip Leno at night and just lay in bed in the dark, take a walk around the block, etc. You can even mix things up and vary your routine. If one of you is traveling, call home at night just to hear their voice. The point is to spend time together daily, just talking or breathing the same air, feeling connected.

Subah juda hai raat juda,

Apni to har baat juda!

Tumse bichhad kar aisa laga

Jaise duaa mein haath juda!

Waqt tumhe samjhayega,

Hum-Tum the bebaat juda!

Sab to aate rehte hain

Tum aayo to baat juda!

Rishte-naate piyaar-wafa,

Naam hain gam ke jaat juda!

Maa ke hathon kee roti ka

Pakwano se swad juda!!

There are ten commitments that remind us of the most important sacrifices parents can make to raise highly healthy children. These commitments are choices each of us can make, regardless of our personal life circumstances.

1. Provide for physical needs. Growing children need healthy diets, adequate clothing, quality health care, and protection from harm.

2. Be there for them. When your children talk to you, turn off the television, face them, and really listen. As much as possible, attend Little League games, school conferences, and band concerts. Your presence, attention, and availability will make a significant difference in the lives of your children.

3. Give them “roots and wings.” Children need to try new things. They need the opportunity to try and to learn from the experience. Supportive family “roots” will soften any falls and give them a stable place to land.

4. Balance individuality with absolutes. Each child is unique. Celebrate individual strengths and try to see life from your child’s perspective. Show respect for personal preferences and fears. At the same time, operate from the strength of your convictions. Children need the security of unmovable boundaries and guidelines for behavior.

5. Hold them accountable. Children want to do what’s right, and they want to be accepted. If they’ve done wrong, encourage them to make amend. Doing so restores their self-respect and lets them know that their behaviors have consequences.

6. Admit when you’re wrong. As parents we make mistakes, and our children can see it--whether we admit it or not. If we’re willing to say, “I blew it; I’m sorry,” our children learn that our relationship with them is more important than maintaining the upper hand. It gives them the freedom to admit their mistakes as well. Facing the truth is a key to good emotional health.

7. Love your spouse. Your children need the security and example of your love for one another.

8. Practice what you preach. Actions speak louder than words. If you tell your children to respect their teachers while you bad-mouth your boss, don’t expect good behavior reports at school conference time! Fight the temptation to just drop them off at Gurughar--go with them!

9. Demonstrate a love of learning. If you read for enjoyment and self-improvement, your children are more likely to enjoy learning. Read with them and discuss new ideas to stimulate their thinking. Help your children reach conclusions for themselves. Also, expose your children to new opportunities for learning, such as going to the library, surfing the Internet with them, and taking them to museums.

10. Never give up on them! As our children grow up, some of them will make us think we have done a good job; others may make us wonder if we did anything right at all. The time comes when we have to back off and let our children make their own decisions and mistakes. But we must never stop loving them or encouraging them to be the best they can be.

One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. The teacher asked a little boy:

TEACHER: Tommy do you see the tree outside?

TOMMY: Yes

TEACHER: Do you see the grass outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.

TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.

TEACHER: Did you see God?

TOMMY: No.

TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because He isn't there. He doesn't exist.

A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy:

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?

TOMMY: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by this time).

LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?

TOMMY: Yessssss

LITTLE GIRL: Do you see the teacher?

TOMMY: Yes

LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?

TOMMY: No

LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school she must not have one

"FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT"

WE FALL IN FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE BY FAITH NOT BY PHYSICAL LOOK AND OTHER THINGS….

Sat Sree Akaal Readers, Chill!! Relax!! Calm Down!! After a gap, I have started life again as you know. Today I was reading and listening Punjabi songs. A wording struck my mind …dance in everybody blood…. I start thinking about blood, though we have same colour of blood but still we are different. Why? The answer is our blood group. Today I would like to share about Blood Group.

What are the blood group?

Blood Group O

Blood Group A

Blood Group B

Blood Group AB

ANTIGENS – chemical markers that act as a security device for our immune system .

Each group has a different blood type antigen:

O – no antigen

A – A antigen

B – B antigen

AB - A & B antigens

What is the Rhesus Factor?

Each blood group has an additional factor called the rhesus (RH) factor.

If the Rh antigen is present, the blood is O+, A+, B+, AB+ (universal recipient)

If the Rh antigen is absent, the blood is O- (universal donor), A-, B-, AB- (beware of anti-Rh antibody!!)

HISTORY:

Blood Group O

O for Original – 50,000 BC+

(Neanderthal, hunter & gatherer, meat-eater, African continent)

Blood Group A

A for Adapted – 25,000 BC+

(Middle East, Western Asia, Europe – migrants, more sedentary, cultivator, farmer, vegetarian)

Blood Group B

B for Balance – 15,000 BC+

(Mixing of cultures with Eastern Asia & Eastern Europe created balanced group)

Blood Group AB

AB for Modern – 500 BC+

(Rare mingling of A & B, Asia, Middle East.

The Diet Connection

What we eat should be determined by what our ancestors ate!

So, how does it work….?

We should eat like our ancestors – the legacy remains in our DNA, our body cells.
