We imagine that's the kind of expression we would all like to wear in our hearts and we go about our daily encounters. Unexpected things do occur and they do for everyone. Some of us can shrug them off faster and easier than others. and this might all depend on the challenges at hand. However, if we prepare ourselves mentally by encouraging some thoughts as against others, we can find ourselves in a better position to deal with life as a whole. Our shirts are a way in which you can wear an image that helps you to express a positive thought everyday. The above is an example.
Cheers!!

Billy Paul
Philadelphia Music -TSOP -Philly Music, must have known that they struck diamond when they produced Billy Paul for some of their songs. This production machine piloted by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff (Gamble & Huff) was a phenomenon in the music industry in the 70s and 80s. They churned a string of hits for groups like The Jays, The Stylistics, The Intruders and many solo artists.
But when Paul did "Me and Mrs. Jones', it sent ripples across the musical ocean. If you are a lover of jazz, slow jam, classical, blues, and others, this song tugs at your heart. The musical arrangement for this song is unlike no other in the pop genre. For the uninitiated, this arrangement sounds like a swirling sound in their heads. It is in fact a combination of violins, horns and craftily played acoustics. It is a complex structure of notes, some played for a brief period while others lingered a little longer. What a splendid job.
Now comes the vocals of Billy Paul. A smooth start (Me and Mrs. Jones) a continuous cooing and wooing. A smart build up to the chorus. Here Billy belts it, blares it in such a manner that you are awaken to his announcement(MEE AAAAN MRS. MRS. JONES, Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Jones) Billy repeats this tone every time he wants us to hear about his affair with Mrs. Jones. Coming to the last verse of the song Billy Paul expresses his stronger feeling for the affair, telling us in sharp tones how he feels. He skillfully changes his pace of delivery. Over four millions copies of this song sold during it's period . Here is the song.

Me and Mrs. Jones
.
Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
We meet every day at the same cafe
Six-thirty and no one knows she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite songs

Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now

We gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes up too high
For she's got her own obligations
And so, and so, do I

Me and Mrs., Mrs., Jones
Mrs., Jones, Mrs., Mrs., Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now.

Well, it's time for us to be leaving
It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine
Tomorrow we'll meet
The same place, the same time

Me and Mrs. , Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on (thing)
We gotta be extra careful(going on)
We can't afford to build our hopes up too high
I wanna meet(thing) and talk with you
At the same place(going on) the same cafe, the same time
And we gonna hold hands like we used to
We gonna talk it over, talk it over
(Thing) we know, they know, and you know
And I know that it was wrong
But our thing is strong and we gonna let them know now
That we got a thing going on

Autumn Gardening

It is important to know where, what, and plant during autumn. And the best time to plant is late September, early October but that depends on where you live.
There are a number of plants that can be planted in the fall season. these include; chrysanthemums, pansy, stonecrop, and aster. While these flowers can beautify your garden space there is a lot of work involved in their maintenance.
First of all there would be lots of raking, cleaning, and prepping of the soil. In fall you remove spent crops, loosen soil and mix in a 3" to 4" deep layer of compost . Then cover the bare soil with shredded leaves or straw. It is important to note that there are three types of soil; sand silt, and clay. You may want to add a high phosphate fertilizer with low nitrogen content to get the maximum result for you gardening.
Happy gardening during the fall season.

Muscle Twitches and Spasm

You tell your muscles what to do without thinking about it But sometimes they might do their own thing - they might pulse or contract and can't relax. Twitches and spasms are most common in the thighs, calves, hands, arms, belly, ribcage, and the aches of your foot. They can involve part of a muscle, all of it, or a group of muscles. Doctors aren't always sure why they happen, but a few common triggers can set them off.

Eyelid Twitches
Eyelid feels like it giving you Morse code? That's called myokymia. These random twitches, which can feel faint or really bug you, happen on the upper or lower li. Triggers range from stress and smoking to wind, bright light, too much caffeine and lack of sleep. Though annoying, the triggers are harmless and usually go away quickly, but can come back the next few days.
Twitches that more than a few days could be a sign of an eye issue, like dry eyes or glaucoma. They could also happen if you have a problem that affects your face muscles. In rare cases, eye twitches can be a sign of brain or nerve disorders like Bell's palsy, multiple sclerosis, and Tourette's syndrome.

Low in Electrolytes
Your muscles depend on minerals , like potassium and magnesium, to work properly. If you're running low on the, your body sends you a message with cramps and spasms. exercise or heavy sweating can deplete you, but some medications can, too. You might also lose too many electrolytes after about of diarrhea or vomiting.
Not Enough Water
If you don't get enough to drink, your muscles will be more likely to twitch and spasm. It's not just the water - when you sweat a lot or lose body fluids when you're sick, you also lose electrolytes, another common reason for twitching muscles.

Stress
You can sometimes blame stress for headaches or insomnia, but it can also cause tension and pain in your muscles. Try a relaxation technique, like massage or medication, to work them off.

Too Much Caffeine
Caffeine can get you going in the morning and pull you out of the afternoon slump. But too much can trigger muscle twitches in various parts of your body. Other stimulant drugs, like amphetamines have the same effect.

Lack of Sleep
If you're tired or run-down, twitches and spasms can be one way your body lets you know. your muscles might also feel achy or sore or just generally weak.

You're Out of Shape
If you notice spasms after a workout or walk, you may need to spend more time building your muscles.
When you don't work them enough, they will more likely get tired - and cramp up. Add strength training to your routine at least twice a week.

Other factors that can cause twitching are, medications, kidney disease, Lou Gehrig's Disease, pinched spinal nerve, and neuropathy.
Check wit your doctor if the twitching is prolonged.
