Home “Concerts” at Xmas/ New Year..
EVERY YEAR, ABOUT THIS TIME, OUR THOUGHTS TURN TO PRECIOUS FAMILY TIMES (AND MEMORIES) OF CHRISTMAS/ NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS OVER PAST DECADES AND GENERATIONS…. THE SO-CALLED “GOOD OLD DAYS”.
Having been around well before the advent of TV in the 1950s (shock, horror!) and the intricacies of technology-based celebrations in more recent times (shock, horror again!), I can vouch for the fact that the “good old days” often weren’t what they are “cracked up” to be by some people in some places, nowadays. But the Xmas and New Year family turnouts were worth staying up late for – and the food and amateur entertainment on offer were always worth the price of admission….nothing, of course! Before the advent of TV( and for a while after it ) family sing-songs around the piano, at home(or at someone else’s home) were very much “the thing”. Sometimes, in the more musically talented families, this could stretch to a band (of sorts) with family members joining in on their harmonica(mouth organ), a piano accordion, a guitar, violin, or perhaps even a wind instrument (saxophone, trumpet, etc). Quite often, the sound was more enjoyable than melodious – but the neighbours didn’t get too uptight or overly perturbed about their interrupted sleep. More often than not, they joined in!
As a young blade, I failed as a clarinetist, saxophonist, and guitarist – but eventually made a reasonable job of beating the drums in a dance band (this bought me my first car, at the age of 17, after leaving school). I came from a musical family (one sister a good pianist, another a violinist) and we had family musical evenings “at home”, often, with a couple of State and national champion cornet/trumpet players adding considerably more class to our performances. But the Xmas/ New Year “do’s”, and family musical evenings at other people’s homes were the ones we enjoyed most.
At one such at-home gathering, the family’s DOG (Timmy) would join in our “singing” every time the “mother of the house”(Joan) played certain songs on her piano. (If truth be known, Timmy probably added something worthwhile with his howling…as we weren’t renowned for our singing!).
Even after television entered our loungerooms in the 1950s, these at-home family turnouts continued and held sway over gathering around the TV set to watch other people making all the noise – and singing all the Xmas Carols, etc., properly.
IN PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
Just this morning, I found myself saying to my daughter, “Do what makes you happy”. Everyone seeks happiness, though what defines happiness can vary from one person to the next. Whilst happiness can be defined differently for us all, it normally involves positive emotions and life satisfaction. For me, happiness is being at peace within myself; I live making a conscious effort to be present on my journey, whether good or what we perceive as the ‘not so pleasant’. When I direct my focus to what brings me joy, finding happiness in the small things, on any given day, can be life-changing, as it enables me to have gratitude, and embrace happiness no matter what the circumstance.
It’s important to feel everything—both the great and not-so-great. It is all a part of life. Identify your feelings, though don’t get attached to that reality. Everything is forever changing, so choose to be happy in every moment, and look for the blessings!
In society today, many are wondering around feeling empty, unfulfilled, and unhappy, feeling “I will be happy when I get this” or “do that”, wanting to fill the void within them. Seeking to fill this so-called ‘void’ with a new car, partner, better house, or the achievement of releasing weight, only to find when they attain the thing of desire, they are happy for a moment, then guess what? … They are back where they started before they achieved what they set out to do.
Why??? Quite simply, because they are seeking outside of themselves. You see, true wealth and happiness really come from within.
When we look for something or someone to make us happy, often the experience is short-term. In order to be truly happy, we must find happiness within ourselves, regardless of conditions.
When we have an uncontrollable appetite for more, our desires multiply and we become blind to what is in front of us. We can get caught up in the cycle of suffering, trying to catch an elusive happiness.
Life happens. If we wait until the conditions are perfect to be happy, we waste precious time. It starts with being at peace within yourself and your surroundings. Enjoy what you have deeply, even the most ordinary moments, because you really don’t know how much they will mean to you in the future Are you feeling empty, unfulfilled, or unhappy? Wanting to find more peace and happiness within yourself and your life? If not now, when? Reach out and give me a call on 0405 361 882 or contact me via Facebook:MariaChristina.Love

Common Health Issues Men Over Usually Deal With
As you turn 50, the number of health problems you may face increases. Some are related to your age, while others are largely preventable. You might have lung, heart, allergies, or digestive system problems. Your health is important, and so is the fact that you can manage these conditions to avoid issues that could lead to serious problems.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is one of the most common health issues men over 50 face. As men age, their blood pressure tends to increase. This can lead to heart-related conditions in the future. You should see a physician if your blood pressure is consistently high or if you feel unwell because of this condition.
High blood pressure is also referred to as hypertension, which can cause serious health problems such as heart attack, stroke, congestive heart failure, angina pectoris, and kidney failure. Men with hypertension have an increased risk of having a heart attack or stroke. High blood pressure can also damage your kidneys, eyes, and ears.
- LUNG PROBLEMS
As you age, you are more likely to have lung problems such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis, and lung cancer. COPD is a progressive condition of the lungs that causes shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. Smoking is usually the primary cause of COPD.
Pneumonia is an infection in one or both lungs. Symptoms include cough with mucous or blood, fever, fatigue, and chills. Pneumonia can also lead to lung abscesses and lung cancer. Lung abscesses are often caused by bacteria that cause pneumonia. Lung cancer is a rare but serious condition that occurs when abnormal cells grow in the lungs. Symptoms include chest pain, cough, and fever.
Tuberculosis is an infection of the lungs caused by a group of bacteria called Mycobacteria tuberculosis. Tuberculosis can infect you through the air you breathe or contact with infected fluids or tissues, such as from coughing or sneezing.
- ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition that affects men and might happen to you as you get older. ED is when a man does not get or maintain an erection during sexual activity. This happens even if your partner has an orgasm. As you age, you are more likely to have ED because your blood circulation to the penis decreases and the nerves that control erections may become less sensitive. Medications are often used in combination to treat ED.
- HEART DISEASE
Heart disease has several risk factors, including family history, smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels. The most common types of heart disease include atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease (CAD), and heart attack.
Atherosclerosis is a disease that causes fatty materials to build up inside your arteries. This can lead to heart attack and stroke. Atherosclerosis mainly occurs in blood vessels that bring blood to the heart.
CAD is the artery that supplies blood to the heart, and it can become partially or completely blocked due to plaque build-up. CAD can cause chest pain, heart attack, anxiety, fainting, and light-headedness.
- DIABETES
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not make enough insulin or does not use it properly. Many people with diabetes have no symptoms, so it is important to see a doctor regularly to get tested. If you have high blood sugar and are not taking proper care of yourself, you may be at risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, and lower-limb amputation. Type 2 diabetes is reversible and can be controlled with diet and exercise.
- DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
Digestive problems are also common for men over 50. These problems include constipation, diarrhea, and GERD (gastro esophageal reflux disease). Constipation occurs when you have difficulty passing stool because of hard stools or blockage in the large intestine. This is caused by a condition in which stool remains in your colon for an extended period. Constipation can cause pain, bloating, gas, and fatigue. Diarrhea is an illness caused by infections, viruses, and parasites that produce watery or bloody stools. Diarrhea can lead to dehydration, seizures, incontinence, and life- threatening conditions such as pneumonia and colitis. GERD is a condition that occurs when stomach acid comes back up the esophagus instead of going into your stomach. This can cause heartburn and indigestion. You may have GERD if you are often burping or have a burning sensation in your chest.
CONCLUSION
Your health is important as you age. You can manage or prevent these common health problems by visiting a physician for checkups and following their instructions. Talk to your doctor or healthcare provider if you have any questions about your health and care.
Fishing Report – December 16, 2022
This is more a fishing guide than a fishing report because it had to be submitted ‘before the event”, to make publishing over the Christmas break easier. I hope there’s enough useful information in it, even though it hasn’t for “up-to. the-minute” news on catches!
As the waters of Pumicestone Passage warm up over summer, there should be opportunities for fishing estuary cod and mangrove jack, as well as some good flathead, in the creeks and around the mangroves and oyster leases. Ningi Creek is the first creek On the left (mainland) side as you travel north from the bridge. As you explore the mouth of this creek on a low tide you will soon realise why we all love this area no much, especially if there’s any SE breeze kicking up the Pusage. Be careful to stay between the markers in the creek, green on the north aide and red on the south aide, so you don’t get stuck on any of the sandbanks on a falling tide! The entrance is marked by a yellow cross beacon 2km north of the bridge. The mouth of Ningi Creek is a popular area for flathead, and also sand crabs through the summer months (any month that has an I’ in it, is the usual saying). One local, Ken, has been hedging his bets, putting pots at the bridge, up Ningi Creek and along the Passage sandbanks – and it seems to be paying off! Along the oysmr leases in Ningi Creek is also good for bream but be careful not to get caught up in the infrastructure. Some big summer whiting also spends the warmer months roaming the Passage and up the creeks.
The deep water in the middle of the Passage between the mouth of Ningi Creek and the bridge holds lots of grassy sweetlip and moses perch over the summer. The tidal run through there is strong, especially during December-early January, no you might have to fish on the drift. If you want to anchor, try to choose a period over the change of tide.

Beating Christmas Stress and Anxiety
LISTEN
The Christmas season is meant to be a time of joy, but for many people, It can be a time of stress, anxiety, disappointment or loneliness. Christmas comes with high expectations of perfect, happy families enjoying luxurious celebrations and gifts, but not all of us are able to live up to these ideals.
For those who have recently lost a loved one, Christmas can Intensify feelings of grief and sadness. Some people experience feelings of Isolation, financial pressures or increased family conflict that can make this a very stressful time of year…
…However, there are some steps you can take to help manage stress and anxiety during the festive period.
TAKING CARE OF MONEY WORRIES
Is the festive season a burden on your wallet? Here are some tips for managing your Christmas finances and reducing your financial stress during the silly season:
Identify what’s causing you financial stress. Buying gifts and attending social get-togethers can be expensive. Plan ways to reduce spending. For example, you could suggest to your family and friends that you only buy gifts for the kids, or organise a ‘Secret Santa’ among the adults. Set a budget and stick to it.
Find low-cost ways to have fun. Don’t let money cut you off from your family and friends. If you can’t afford expensive restaurant meals or cocktail catch-ups, organise a BBQ in the park or a party at home where everyone brings a plate of food.
DEALING WITH FAMILY TENSION
Just because you’re related doesn’t mean your family members will all get along. Split families and unresolved conflicts may contribute to Christmas anxiety. Family and relationship problems can be a trigger for anxiety.
Here are some ideas for getting through:
Set realistic expectations. Christmas might not be the fabulous family reunion you hoped for. Plan how you will manage any feelings of anxiety or depression that may arise.
Put the kids first. If you have children, consider putting aside ongoing adult conflicts in their interest. Think about Christmas as a day for the kids and focus on enabling their happiness.
Drink in moderation. It may be tempting to drink too much during the festive period, but alcohol can contribute to stress, anxiety and depression. Alcohol may be a problem if you’re drinking to cope.
Avoid known triggers. If your family has a history of arguing over a certain topic, don’t bring it up.
MANAGING LONELINESS
There are ways to overcome loneliness if you find yourself isolated or grieving a loved one over the Christmas period.
Connect with friends and family. Even if you’re separated by distance, you can stay in touch with loved ones online or by phone.
Volunteer. Why not lend a hand to a local shelter over Christmas? There are lots of charities that need help. You’ll connect with people and feel good about making a positive contribution.
Attend community events. Find out what’s on locally and get involved. Whether it’s Christmas carols or local markets, getting out and about can help relieve loneliness.
Make plans for Christmas Day. Develop a plan in advance to avoid feeling depressed or stressed on the day. Perhaps make yourself a special breakfast, buy yourself a gift in advance so that you can enjoy it on the day, attend a local church service, or take a stroll through the local park to give yourself a treat.
STAY HEALTHY TO AVOID CHRISTMAS ANXIETY
Recognising and changing behaviours that contribute to your stress will help you get through the Christmas period. Remember to stay healthy – eating well, exercising and getting enough sleep ran help you cope with Christmas stress.
