I WISH YOU. ENOUGH..... read this touching story....
I WISH YOU ENOUGH.
Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter's departure had been announced. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said:
"I love you and I wish you enough."
The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom." They kissed and the daughter left.
The mother walked over to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry.
I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?" "Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever good-bye?"
"I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said.
When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, "I wish you enough." May I ask what that means?"
She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more.
"When we said 'I wish you enough' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them". Then turning toward me, she shared the following, reciting it from memory,
"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye."
She then began to cry and walked away.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person. An hour to appreciate them. A day to love them. And an entire life to forget them. Bob Perks
Avoid burnt or overheated food...
| Burnt or overheated food | ||
 | ||
| If foods are overheated or burnt, a group of carcinogenic substances called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are produced. PAHs represent a very large group of compounds. Chemically, they consist of fused aromatic rings made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms. | ||
| ||
| After being ingested, PAHs can be absorbed in the intestine and distributed to other organs through blood circulation. | ||
| ||
| Besides cancer-causing, PAH exposure is also associated with many adverse effects in laboratory animals, including reproductive toxicity, cardiovascular toxicity, bone marrow toxicity, immune system suppression, and liver toxicity. | ||

Avoid high temperature cooking....
| High temperature frying, grilling and baking of starchy plant products | ||||||||
| ||||||||
| In a research conducted by the University of Stockholm and Sweden's National Food Administration, it was found that high levels of toxic acrylamide are formed in carbohydrate-rich plant products cooked at high temperatures in pan-frying, deep-frying, grilling, roasting and baking. | ||||||||
| ||||||||
| These products include common food such as potato chips, French fries, baked potatoes and certain bread. Other items with lower levels of acrylamide include maize crisps, biscuits, toast, breakfast cereals (baked / roasted), and coffee powder. (Related News: BBC, ENS - Apr 25, 2002) | ||||||||

| The same results were not found in boiled products. Result highlights: | ||||||||

| ||||||||
| Acrylamide has been shown to cause cancer in animals in previous studies where they were exposed to the chemical at high doses. Acrylamide is also known to cause nerve damages in both the central and peripheral nervous systems for people exposed to very high levels at work. | ||||||||
| ||||||||
| Scientists in the Swedish government estimated acrylamide could be responsible for several hundreds of the 45,000 cancer cases in the country each year, based on experiments in which rats were fed fried food. | ||||||||
| ||||||||
| Another study conducted in Italy found that a diet high in refined cereals, and bread in particular, is associated with an increased risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the main type of kidney cance | ||||||||
Barbecued and grilled food When fat from grilled meats falls down on flames or hot coals, cancer-causing PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) are formed. These PAHs rise as vapour and permeate the meat. Heavy charring of meats also produces high concentrations of PAHs carcinogens, such as benzopyrene. Some grilled chicken products may also contain a dangerous carcinogenic compound called PHIP, which is one type of heterocyclic amines (HCAs / HAs). In September 2006, a doctor's group sued seven leading fast food chains in the US because their grilled chicken contained PHIP. According to the president of this group, even a grilled chicken salad would increase the risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer and other types of cancer.

We are spiritual beings, a spark of light in the infinite field of consciousness, there is nothing more precious than a rare diamond. There is nothing like you anywhere! ever! You are irreplaceable and that alone makes you valuable and worthy. There will never be another you. The universe would not be the same without you. Everything you do, I mean every little thing, makes a difference to the entire world, the entire field of consciousness throughout the entire universe.
