How sad to have no purpose in life, but to just live.
Why would you even want to exist?
By claiming a purpose, or having some meaning, we can claim better days, fruitful days, and the occasion to smile.
Without that, life would be like a mouse that’s been caught in a trap.
Life seems hopeless, and is slowly fading away, as the pain becomes too much to deal with.
No way to escape.
I urge you to find meaning in things, to find joy and purpose.
Without it, living would be in vain.

SERVINGS: 6
AUTHOR: MELANIE
Ingredients
1/2 sweet onion sliced
4 zucchini or summer squash
2 cloves garlic minced
3 tablespoons butter divided
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup half & half cream
1 cup monterey jack cheese shredded
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
Fresh cracked pepper

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in an oven proof skillet. Add onions and cook for 2 minutes until translucent. Add zucchini and garlic and cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until almost tender. Season with salt and pepper and remove from pan onto a plate (or a 9×9 casserole dish if your pan isn’t oven safe).
Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in pan over medium heat and mix in the flour. Cook for 30 seconds and then add in the cream a little at a time while stirring. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes while stirring or until it begins to thicken. Add Monterey cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan a little at a time, continually stirring until melted and smooth. Turn off heat and mix in salt.
Add the veggies back, mixing until evenly coated (or pour sauce over veggies in the 9×9 pan). Sprinkle top with remaining Parmesan cheese and sprinkle with black pepper. Bake for 15 minutes or until it starts to brown on top. Let cool 10 minutes and then serve.
Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
INGREDIENTS:
1 egg
1 cup natural smooth peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon Stevia
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350F
In a bowl, whisk the egg. Add in the stevia and vanilla, and whisk again
Stir in the peanut butter, stirring well. That’s it! That’s the dough! You can add anything else at this point (chocolate chips would be DIVINE) if you’d like
Measure out 1 teaspoon of cookie dough, and roll into a ball. Place onto a greased cookie sheet, and create a crosshatch pattern with the back of a fork. Repeat for the entire batch of dough
Bake for 12-13 minutes. They will be slightly underdone when coming out of the oven, but will harden up.
Looks like it’s over, you knew I couldn’t stay
She’s coming home today
We had a good thing, I’ll miss your sweet love
Why must you look at me that way, it’s overSad eyes, turn the other way
I don’t want to see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there’d come a day
When we would have to say goodbyeTry to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to sit and defend, but it’s overSad eyes, turn the other way
I don’t want to see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there’d come a day
When we would have to say goodbyeSad eyes, turn the other way
I don’t want to see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there’d come a day
When we would have to say goodbyeSad eyes, turn the other way
I don’t want to see you cry (cry, cry, cry)
Sad eyes, you knew there’d come a day
When we would have to say goodbyeSad eyes, turn the other way
Love, love, love this song!
Listen if you want!

Hey guys,
Just switching things up a bit , this morning on my page. I often read the news from MSN or some other news content on the internet, first thing in the morning. This morning I saw something that caught my eye. If you have read anything about me and reading, you know I skim through articles and such. So this morning while skimming, I figured I would pass along some of what caught my eye.
We all are trying to eat as healthy as possible these days. I have noticed the older I get, the more conscious I am of what I put into my body.
6 things to avoid while trying to lose weight…
1- Sugary Yogurt
Most yogurt contains around 20 grams of sugar, more or less. The yogurt has added things in it, that might not help you achieve losing weight. Yes, even Greek yogurt, my friends!
-Read the labels, become familiar with what is in the ingredients.
-Buy low sugared yogurt, if you insist on eating yogurt.
-look for natural ingredients, not processed ones.
2- Fried Meats
We all love eating those delicious, fried foods, but they are usually loaded in saturated fats, They also increase your calorie intake.
-Eat as things with unsaturated fat, this will help you stay clear of high cholesterol and heart disease.
3- Processed Protein Bars
A lot of people think these things are a quick and healthy option, especially if your goal is to eat in a hurry. Alas, though, they are not all created equal.
-Check ingredients, if you cannot identify it you should not eat it!
4-Standard Peanut Butter
Yep, probably the stuff you grew up eating.
-First ingredients should always be peanuts.
-Look for minimal ingredients when checking out the label.
5- Farmed Salmon
YUMMO, I love Salmon and it is really packed with good fats and good things for us.
-Wild Caught is what to look for when buying Salmon. If it isn’t chances are it is loaded with things that are bad for you.
6- Processed Meats
Yep, bologna, ham, turkey, beef, etc. These things contain harmful ingredients because they are processed to sit in the coolers or refrigerators for a while. YUCK!
I believe , personally, as do others that these kinds of meat have contributed to many of our health issues.
-They can cause you to bloat, dehydrate, and overeat!

STAY For A While
The sky can turn dark
Just like a person’s heart.
The eyes can get damaged looking for blue.
Even if there, it still seems to be true.
Excitement can be fading
Just like a story sometimes does when it keeps replaying.
To think too much about that person gives that person too much power
That’s not how anyone wants it to be, even if it means being belittled or having to cower.
If we were meant to get damaged looking for joy
There would be so many damaged and nothing left to enjoy.
When searching, search for consistency
Then there will be no mystery.
In looking above, remember your footing
It is there that is important.
Try to look around as well
Remember it’s not the journey but how well you can tell
What truly makes you smile
And will actually stay for a while.
