New life, life gets better and better

Ok so here we are. The trials of life and tests of making it. Here I am. Any survivor will tell you it's a hard yard. When does it get easy. Now it does.

I am on a quarter of an acre paying off a house again. Bringing all in what a joy. My life is peaceful and I am loving having the animals and my youngest son still living at home.

There is a sense of joy at family dinners looking around the dinner party crew. Smiling happy seeing that all willl be ok.

I have raised 3 sensational men. Now one married and bringing me the greatest next chapter my gorgeous grandchild.

When you look at your life and you see yep there have been some bad hard times. But look at all the good. It's so amazing to think we give life. They grow up and go out and also thrive.

My biggest joy is being a mother and grandmother. Through the hour glass we see time is certainly going very quickly, but oh what a ride.

We all have so many challenges in this life. But the good always out weighs the bad. Things to be grateful for, so many things.

As I sit on my back yard now playing with my goats. My dogs and my chickens in my gumboots. There is such an overwhelming rush of excitement and happiness.

By the way my nick name is princess, Janine loves to call me that. I was a shoe collector, still a girly girl but my favourite pair of shoes these days is gumboots. Go figure. They are army green and so good.

My eldest son Nathan went to lunch with my friend Steve. Steve is a mentor and giving my son lots of amazing assistance in his new career to be a lawyer. Oh so proud he is going to rock this world.

Steve says how is your mum? I adore her. Nathan says she wears gumboots, has a mini farm and goats, chickens and of course the dogs.

Steve laughed and laughed he says what's happened to your mother?? That's not the Nina I know.

Nathan laughs and laughs.

I know he says, the boys love coming to visit and be amused by the animals. Animals have all there own little personalities it's so cool.

So as always it's the little things that count. Count your blessings and count them twice.

Some people will never have or feel the way we feel.

Making life awesome and hoping that everyone understands the hope and faith that life is wonderful and just getting more perfect by the day.

Have a great day peeps.

Kate Jackson Breast Cancer a flash back

THE MOST MOMENTOUS CHANGE IN Kate Jackson's life began early one morning in January 1987, during her fourth season on the hit TV series Scarecrow and Mrs. King. After a phone call informed her that the show's taping was canceled because costar Bruce Boxleitner had the flu, Jackson went back to sleep. When she woke several hours later, "It was out of the blue, but perfectly clear," she recalls. "I sat up in bed and literally said, 'You have to have a mammogram.' " She did, and two days later a biopsy confirmed her vague fears: A minute growth found in her left breast was determined to be malignant. "I was forced to face, squared up, my own mortality," says Jackson. "I had to decide whether I wanted to live or to die. And if you choose life, as I did, it's never the same." For three TV seasons 16 years ago, she was famous as Sabrina Duncan, a girl-next-door gone glamorous and the character critics dubbed the brainiest o

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v

Once ovulation and menstruation begin, the maturing of the breasts begins with the formation of secretory glands at the end of the milk ducts. The breasts and duct system continue to grow and mature with the development of many glands and lobules. The rate at which breasts grow varies significantly and is different for each young woman. Breast development occurs in five stages: Stage One: In preadolescence, the breasts are flat and only the tip of the nipple is raised. Stage Two: Buds appear, breast and nipple are raised, fat tissue begins to form and the areola (dark area of skin that surrounds
