A LOOK INTO THE PAST

When I was seventeen I enlisted into the navy. They called it a kiddy cruise. You go in when you're 17, you get discharged on the 21st day of your birthday.

I left Lowell, MA and headed to Norfolk Naval base in Virginia.

I originally wanted to be on submarines; however the navy put me on a destroyer, whos main purpose was to hunt and destroy enemy submarines! Go figure??

We shipped out of Norfolk and headed east to spend some time doing NATO maneuvers. On the return trip back home, We visited ports from Greenland to the Mediterranean. We were gone for three months.😉

Here I was at 18, doing the unimaginable; I LOVED IT.😃
When we stopped in Amsterdam, I bought a pair of their wooden shoes, they fascinated me.😉

I wound up leaving them with my mother, when I went home for a visit.

When my mother passed , Marcia and I went back east to clear things out of her apartment. There were the shoes!😀 

Now they are on a shelf in the garage where I see them frequently. Today, I thought that I'd share this memorable look into the past.

Life has been good, all 90 years + 7 months of it.😉

                                                     MARRIED LIFE

             The "I DO"💓 & The "I DON'T"💘

               WHERE DOES                               YOURS FIT IN?

      THE BIGGEST DETERMINOR IS LOVE💓. You meet a young person that strikes you in a manner that is completely new to you. You become emotionally INVOLVED,💓 nothing else COMMANDS your mind, heart, body and soul.

      As the relationship flourishes you begin thinking about the INNEVITABLE MARRIAGE!💕💗💖 The FLESH GIVES WAY TO THE BRAIN. Or you might say that two forces unite as a purpose to ASK THE BIG QUESTION.

             "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" (please) 😊

      If LOVE 💓REMAINS SUPREME, SO WILL YOUR MARRAIGE💓

      1. CHEATING ON YOUR PARTNER will certainly result

          in a rapid trip to the 

       DREADED DIVORCE!

      2.  YOU SEPERATE. If 💓 is no longer or waning in your lives.😞 SEPERATION gives you time to RETHINK the WHOLE SITUATION.

      3. The SEPARATION (NOT BY CHOICE) 

           caused by external factors such as an

                            EMOTIONAL 

                  "ANXIETY SYNDROME"

      In my blog, www.henry-milette.blogspot.com, I discussed that they need to change the name, Anxiety Syndrome to the FEAR Syndrome. 

       A person who has it, FEARS, the one person, who is the most LOVED and IMPORTANT. No matter what that person does or how much love💓 is in the picture, that person WILL ALWAYS BE FEARED!😒  

     I AM LIVING WITH THIS PATICULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.

WERE SEPARATED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR 60 HAPPILY MARRIED YEARS💕 (plus seven months)

     I WOULD MARRY HER, RIGHT NOW, IF I HAD A CHAPEAU, IF I DIDN'T HAVE ONE, SHE WOULD GLADLY LOAN ME ONE OF HERS, FROM HER COLLECTION 😉

     THERE'S HOPE FOR THE FUTURE AFTER HER COUNSELING AND RECOVERY, IN THE NEAR FUTURE(hopefully).😀

         WE COMMUNNICATE BY TEXT AND PHONE (several times every day). 

              THERE'S HOPE THAT WE SHALL RETURN

         TO THE WORLD  THAT'S BEEN SO GOOD TO US.

        WE BOTH HAVE HOPE and LOVE 💓💓. 

                       WE SHALL OVERCOME😂

                   THE END OF THE ROAD

      THE FINAL STEP IS DIVORSE. My 💓 goes out to you. 

            IT'S NOT AN EASY PROCESS. 

              IT'S VERY  COMPLICATED 

                                AND

                  HEART  RENDERING.

PAYBACK EMOTIONS 💞, IN THE BACK GROUND, LIES SORROW, HURT, ANGUISH and ANGER. (The most dangerous)😠

 

Where Your Body Stores Fat Matters More for Cardiovascular Aging Than Body Mass

     

Story at-a-glance

• 
  

  • Beyond visible weight gain, hidden fat can build up in organs and muscles, quietly influencing long-term health.
  • A recent study published in the European Heart Journal found that where fat collects in your body is closely tied to how quickly your cardiovascular system ages.
  • The study showed that visceral fat, liver fat, and fat infiltrating muscles were strongly linked with premature cardiovascular aging.
  • Researchers also uncovered gender-specific patterns. Men tended to accumulate more visceral and abdominal fat, while women carried more subcutaneous and thigh fat.
  • To protect your heart, shift from focusing only on weight loss to improving metabolic health. Check your metabolic markers, eat the right carbs, cut seed oils, and build strength through daily movement.

This Vegetable

 Lowers Your Colon Cancer Risk

 by 17%

Story at-a-glance

• Colon cancer often develops silently without early symptoms, making prevention through diet and lifestyle one of the most effective ways to protect yourself
• Eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts lowers your risk of colon cancer by about 17%
• The strongest protection is reached with just 40 to 60 grams a day — about half a cup of cooked broccoli — making prevention simple and realistic
• Compounds in cruciferous vegetables detoxify harmful chemicals, trigger cancer cell death, strengthen your colon lining, and support healthy gut microbes
• Combining a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables with lifestyle steps such as reducing vegetable oils and environmental toxins, eating the right carbs, and exercising builds a strong daily shield against colon cancer.

The Link Between

 Vitamin D Deficiency  

and

 Fatty Liver

Story at-a-glance

• Low vitamin D levels are strongly linked to fatty liver severity, with deficiency tied to more fat buildup, higher liver enzymes, and worse metabolic problems like insulin resistance
• Fatty liver disease often progresses silently until serious damage like cirrhosis or liver failure has already taken hold
• Supplementing with vitamin D has been shown to lower blood sugar, reduce liver enzymes, improve cholesterol balance, and even help shrink waistlines
• Cutting out vegetable oils and alcohol removes two of the biggest drivers of liver stress, giving your body the best chance to reverse damage and restore function
• Simple, everyday steps like eating choline-rich foods, getting regular sun exposure, and testing your vitamin D levels will help you protect your liver and keep it working at full strength.

 Lithium Homeostasis's

                         ROLE

in

  Alzheimer’s

    Do you ever go from one room to another you FORGOT why you were there??  and when talking  to someone?? FORGET what you wanted?   You FORGET something (temporarily) when you're speaking? 

            WELL, WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

                                 That is I.

Story at-a-glance

• Lithium levels in the brain drop in people with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s, fueling memory loss, brain inflammation, and the buildup of toxic proteins
• Low-dose lithium has been shown to preserve memory, improve attention, and stabilize mood without the kidney and thyroid risks tied to prescription-strength doses
• A clinical trial found that lithium slowed progression from early memory problems to Alzheimer’s, lowering key disease markers and improving daily functioning
• Whole foods, mineral-rich water, magnesium, and zinc all support healthy lithium balance and give your brain the nutrients it needs to resist decline
• Removing vegetable oils, lowering excess iron, and boosting antioxidants like glutathione work alongside lithium to protect brain cells and preserve long-term memory.
