We eat a lot of bananas' at our house.  I never realized

how much easier it is to open a banana from the bottom

rather than the top.

It never dawned on me to  try  opening  it from the other end.

That was until a family member mentioned it while I was

struggling to open it from the top and reaching for a knife. 

I was surprised how much easier it was to open. I felt really silly when they

informed me that even the gorillas know that it's easier to open it

from the bottom. I guess I will have to pay closer attention the next time

we go to the zoo.

 I was  watching the hit TV show Duck Dynasty with my family last

night and I started thinking about family values. The older actors on

Duck Dynasty are out of touch with technology

and believe it's hurting our children. I personally believe that

technology is important yet we are loosing old traditional values by

spending too much time in front of screens and a lot less time face to

face with family and nature.  This is when I started to think about

ways I can enrich my family's life.

I am going to try harder in 2013 to spend more quality time

with my family and nature and less time in front of a screen.
