What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger #recipe
Was philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche correct in saying "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"?
This article says yes.
Life keeps going. We do keep going on. Some days are easier than others.
Then there are all the other challenging and frustrating events that get thrown in.
I've been learning that when it comes to seemingly insurmountable odds, we can, and do recover. Oftentimes, we come out stronger.
It's true. What doesn't kill us really does make us stronger.
I guess I should remind myself of that whenever I have to swig back my friend's "Kick the @#$% out of Your Cold" concoction. Trust me. It really works. Oh, and it hasn't killed me yet.
Here's the recipe that will get rid of any nasty cough!
Ingredients:
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ginger (powder)
1 tsp honey
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp warm/hot water
Mix all ingredients together. Pass through a strainer if you want a smooth texture (no cayenne or ginger clumps). Consume by the tbsp as you would cough syrup...or if you're forgetful like me, chug the entire mixture in one gulp.
If you've got a cold or a cough, this has worked for us. Either it works and your cough totally disappears or your head explodes. If you try this, let me know how it works for you! Provided that your head doesn't explode, that is!
This article says yes.
Scientists have found that although traumatic experiences such as losing a loved one can be psychologically damaging, small amounts of trauma can make us more resilient.In the past year, like most families, our family has had to deal with adversity. I suppose it's hit me because I've never really had to deal with situations like these before and it has brought us all closer together and has made us stronger. One of the most difficult experiences for me has been losing my grandmother last May. Even now that we are a few months away from the one year anniversary of her death, I still wake up thinking "How are we going to go on without her?"

City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

Oh boy I'm not sure if I could stomach that! But the whole premise takes me back to the days of powering though Buckleys!!! So awful but it really did help!
Shayna:
LOL! Ohhhh! Good 'ol Buckleys!!! I used to take that! So awful, it works! LOL!
Ok sounds absolutely disgusting but you know I'm trying it if/when we get the next round of icky here
Julie:
LOL! It's absolutely shockingly potent. Trust me, it'll cure whatever ails you!
This sounds like a concoction that I need to give a try.
I pinned this and will give it a try next time I am sick. It is great to find natural remedies especially since I am breastfeeding and can't take all meds.
I should give this to my Hubs. He has cough and we are on vaca!
Christine: growing up my mom made us onion peel tea. Take the brown leaves of an onion and steep it in hot water until it looks like a strong tea. Add some honey to make it sweeter and voila - natural cough suppressant. It sound awful but trust me, it really works.
This cough cure doesn't make your head explode :)

There is often a lot of truth in natural remedies and I would much rather ingest them, than the unprounouncable ingredients often found in what you buy. I will definitely be giving it a try! I've bookmarked it for future use and left your name next to it...you know...just in case my head explodes....lol
I am just getting over being sick but would be afraid to try this lol. Maybe I will make and give to hubs when he is sick, BAhahahaha!
I actually a cold (darnit) so I might make this tomorrow. I just need apple cider vinegar. Finally, a use for that Canadian maple syrup! :)
