Wow -- It's been awhile. I don't know why I can't seem to do the things I know will make me better (like take my meds every day or journal). It's not like I am on a quest for happiness. I am happy. I just wish that I felt better, both mentally and physically. It is a glorious autumn day and I know that I should crawl into the hammock and read for a bi...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

His Way
As I rose the cool of the morn was on my face,
And deep within me the Lord was in this place.
He smiled and the sun began to warm the day,
And I asked to walk with Him along the way.
Without Him this world is a cold and scary place,
So each day I go to Him for His mercy and grace.
He’s the one that leads me and tells me what to say,
And He gives to me the strength to listen and obey.
The day...1 Recommendation -

Hunger
You come to a bare table,
Trying to eat all you are able.
Now is it really any wonder,
You face the pangs of hunger?
Most of us eat three meals a day,
Some eat more and some eat less.
But what if it was all taken away?
Could your body stand the test?
You may be able make it a few days,
Through the grumbling and the pain.
Soon your body starts to waste away,
As muscles weaken under the strain.

High Cholesterol Information
Hypercholesterolemia (literally: high blood cholesterol) is the presence of high levels of cholesterol in the blood. It is not a disease but a metabolic derangement that can be secondary to many diseases and can contribute to many forms of disease, most notably cardiovascular disease. It is closely related to the terms "hyperlipidemia" (elevated levels of lipids) and "hyperlipoproteinemia" (elevated levels of lipoproteins).
Elevated cholesterol does not lead to specific symptoms unless it has been longstanding. Some types of hypercholesterolemia lead to specific physical findings: xanthoma (thickening of tendons due to accumulation of cholesterol), xanthelasma palpabrum (yellowish patches around the eyelids) and arcus senilis (white discoloration of the peripheral cornea). Longstanding elevated hypercholesterolemia leads to accelerated atherosclerosis; this can express itself in a number of cardiovascular diseases.
