Yes, it’s true: Christmas is for kids and kids-at-heart which we all are, aren’t we? 


It’s also for the family, a time for reunions and renewal of ties, of letting bygones be bygones and unloading your chest of emotional burden which, according to doctors, can cause serious (physical) illness. 


Still the best piece of advice is for you and I to travel light through the otherwise torturous, long-winding highways and byways of the journey called Life.

At my age, when I wake up in the morning without any aches and pains, I think I’ve died and gone to heaven!" my father said. "So I pinch myself hard to make sure that I am still alive!" 


We burst out laughing and he continued, "When I was in my 40s, I could play 18 holes of golf, and go to the gym afterward for more exercise. Now in my 80s, after a round of golf, I need to go to a physical therapist to soothe out all my aches and pains."

                    [Summary] => Many years ago, there was an Alka Seltzer commercial where their cartoon mascot Speedy would sing a tune at the end – "Relief is just…. a swallow away." For this country, debt relief may not be a swallow away but if we don’t reduce our huge debt we can be swallowed away. If we can just pull off Speaker Joe de Venecia’s debt-for-equity proposal even by just 20 percent, the debt reduction will greatly relieve the burden on the economy.

And what is Lush? Before you think, "Oh, no, another purveyor of bath gel!" read on. Lush was recently awarded the 2001 MAPIC Award for International Dynamism in Retail Real Estate in the beauty and health category, beating such industry giants as Sephora and Origins.
