FOOT MASSAGES

Submitted by ub on

Pamper yourself... Get a foot massage, or give one to your special love. Our feet work hard every day. Especially at this busy time of year for anyone who is shopping, family gatherings and school events. There is plenty of time spent on our feet.

Just like our neck, back, and shoulders, our feet can also benefit from a regular rubdown. Foot massage improves circulation, stimulates muscles, reduces tension, and often eases pain. It also gives a chance to check out our feet so we can get a jump on treating blisters, bunions, corns, and toenail problems.

Colorado Closet Tokers Coming Out Soon

Adult possession/use of cannabis is already legal in both Colorado and Washington. On Jan. 1, 2014 licensed retail sales of cannabis to adults is also permissible in CO. In WA, applicants are still awaiting for a license from state regulators.

Adults who are growing, holding and smoking marijuana to get high have already been acting legally in Colorado for more than year after a state constitutional amendment approved by voters in November 2012.

Before you decide to make new year resolutions, you should consider the odds of achieving them.

Dreaming of dropping one clothing size, learning how to play Cello or speaking Chinese Mandarin.
The following are some statistics to consider. From the nearly half of us who make New Year’s resolutions, about one third will fail after two weeks; 40 percent will fail after one month and 60 percent will fail after six months.

The following are some of the things you may wish to stop and then start taking care of yourself.

WISH FOR HUMANITY

Submitted by ub on

Dear World-

If it isn't too late, let's hope and pray that all people will begin to speak kind words, to be committed to their family and friends, to use their hands for helping and not for hurting,

Let's make an effort to evolve into human beings who laugh with joy and delight and not mockery, who love unconditionally, and who do not resort to bullying others.

Our world faces a formidable hurdle if we want to restore a new and improved climate of trust, peace, goodwill, respect and equality towards all men, women, children and all living things.

SHARE YOUR FAVORITE MOMENTS

Submitted by ub on

Did you reflect on all your blessings this Christmas? Have you received everything you needed?
Were you able to spend time or speak with someone special and tell them you love them?
Please, share with us what was that favorite present waiting for you under the tree.

Please feel free to share with City Island Images. However, if you did not get all the gifts that you were expecting, this is probably the best time to get the best deals and lowest prices on those items that were probably overpriced to begin with.

HOLY NIGHT

Pope Francis has ushered in his first Christmas as pontiff, likening Jesus' birth to a burst of light on the sometimes dark moments of human history, marked by pride and ambition.

The 77-year-old Francis celebrated Christmas Eve Mass late Tuesday in St. Peter's Basilica, returning to rest in his Vatican lodgings barely 12 hours before he was due to return to the basilica.

At noon (1100 GMT) Wednesday, Francis was scheduled to deliver a traditional Christmas day message meant for a worldwide audience. Tens of thousands of tourists and Romans are expected to gather in St. Peter's Square for his speech and blessing delivered from the central balcony of the basilica.

At the Tuesday night Christmas service, Francis drew on the humility theme of his nine-month-old papacy as he cited Jesus' humble beginning as a poor and vulnerable baby. "You are immense, and you made yourself small; you are rich, and you made yourself poor; you are all-powerful and you made yourself vulnerable," Francis said of Jesus as he delivered his homily in the basilica, packed with the faithful.

On Christmas Day many people participate in events to help them enjoy their holiday. They eat drink, be merry and take their loved ones out to see Christmas lights.

It’s Christmas, that means it is the season for spending time with family and opening presents. This year we also took them to see the Wonderland of Lights downtown.

Several families were spreading Christmas cheer to many this year by showcasing their elaborate light display. But it is more than just a draw for community members. These family members won ABC's Great Christmas Light Fight and received thousands of dollars.
