Summary
My grave has been bought many years ago and I planted some tree that don’t grow but you have to keep trimming it and during the summer days became too much for me So I called the office to see how much it will cost to remove them. My aunt had just died from covid so I told them I just couldn’t do it bc I had no strength in my body.
two weeks later I receive a call that the little trees were removed and there was no charge bc of the pandemic I knew they wouldn’t eat anything I cooked since we do have to be careful now our days. I went to DUNKIN DONUTS bought that huge jar they sell of coffee , boxes of donuts and bagels and dropped them off at the office and told them it was for the guys that removed the tree and ppl in the office too.
It came out the same as to what I figure they would charge me to remove the tree, if they had wanted to charge me, but they didn’t. I appreciate so much that they also put mush and some pretty rocks and flowers. It seems the pandemic brought to some ppl the best in them.
If you have a bakery around and you can afford it, I suggest you order some cookies and breads and put them in a cute basket or gift bag and give it to them. It’s the thought that counts not how much it cost.

Yet this expresses a truth that is in many ways universal. God sustains his whole creation and loves his whole creation. The Puritans called it common grace. When the rain falls, it falls on everyone. When the sun shines, it shines on everyone. When the crops are lush, everybody parties, and when the crops fail, everybody starves.
The Jewish Scriptures also have a verse from the Psalms: “I have never seen the children of the righteous begging bread.” And in many ways, I think that can be universally applied.
Uplifting and needed!

I am not a doctor nor do I play one on Viki, but as someone who is trying her best to keep the bits and pieces moving, I swear by teat tree oil mixed with a carrier oil like grapeseed oil or almond oil. I use it to gently massage bruised areas, and I put it on Band-Aids to cover cuts and scrapes.
It really is astounding how it reduces inflammation and speeds healing. Add a bit of lemon essential oil . . . and maybe a bit of lavender, and it’s a very nice thing to have on hand.

As far I know tea tree oil is rather antiseptic and antifungal and that sort but more like for topical issues. I would think this is a muscle / tendon issue and for temporary relief a Tiger balsam or better the Badger joint balm would be more appropriate, it’s handmade from NH and most likely health food stores carry it, besides it’s all natural. (I used to make my own, and when I repaired my house, I made dandelion root oil for muscle ache and for joint’s and strains comfrey root oil).
@frustratedwriter check with doc.

Make sure you don’t use essential oils - straight - too strong - mix with almond oil or another oil that you like to keep it from being too harsh
