Life is good. Life is wonderful. We have still ups and down. That’s reality. Life is interesting, always be new and always fun. This year, we decide to step out forward and make some changes to achieved what we have plan with my wife. Last year they’re so much challenge of my life; two of my relatives pass away. We have to decide and finally confront our fears because they crippled us. Rejection, disappointment of failure we have experienced at one time of another. But all of this, I pray that may God be there and guide us to be a strong always to face trials that may come to us. I appreciated that my wife is always there beside me all along, who have a strong faith. In life, I learn many things like dealing with the things as they happened and control the situation better. In other aspects I don’t allow other people influence me, I stand for what is right and wrong. Hopefully this year we will achieve our plans in life together with my wife. Deception, disillusionment and dealing with any kind of stimulants may be tempting but will not solve any problems you face. We must always stay true to our self and honest with others. We can turn this rather confusing day into a creative turning point in our life. Stay in focus and have faith always in GOD.

Soda is not really good for you. Coca-cola, Pepsi and many more are high in fructose. If you are craving sweets or refreshments, you can have the healthy alternatives. Here they are:

1. Light yogurt and fruit smoothie. Creamy and sweet, high in calcium and only 174 calories per cup.

2. Tomato juice – contains beta carotene and lycopene

3. Organic soda that doesn’t contain high fructose. I get this kind of Soda from Safeway sometimes. The brand is O- Organics. They taste really good. They are fruit-flavored soda. No caffeine at all. It is organic. But it is best to avoid any kind of soda because carbonation affects the stomach. However, carbonation and phosphoric acid in the soda can cause calcium loss in the bones.

4. Apple cider. I love apple cider.

5. Tea or coffee, unsweetened
