		<description><![CDATA[I came upon this post from a lady in Poland who is starting what she calls an eco-farm in the 'Green Lungs' of Poland (a remote rural area full of trees), well.... it seems to me it is worth sharing. It seems it might be a good opportunity for someone with the gumption to leave anywhere and go to Poland for a few months and work on the farm for food and lodging. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like it when good news comes out on the beneficial effects of cactus.

		<description><![CDATA[This study says "direct medical costs average about $6,649 a year for people with diabetes." and that 25 million people in the US have diabetes. Diabetics may make $160,000 less in their lifetime due to work and opportunities missed. But some say "You get the sugar because it's in your family, my granny,... aunt and sister all got it, and I suspect I will also." But NO.... you are NOT condemned to diabetes if you do not have it yet.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here's a good article, written by a hospice nurse.... she details some of the thoughts of the dying that she met during decades of this work..... They break down to five concerns... 1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. 2. I wish I didn’t work so hard. 3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings. 4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. 5. I wish that I had let myself be happier Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness [...]]]></description>
