Adorable black squirrel

Lately I have been seeing alot of black squirrels.  All my life I had never seen these adorable creatures living on Eastern  Long Island until recently.  Growing up I remember seeing alot of  wild rabbits & turtles but I really haven't seen many of those around in years.  They have been replaced in my yard by black squirrels and groundhogs.

Humor Therapy/Laughter Yoga ~ Laughter, the best natural medicine!

There is truth in the saying "laughter is the best medicine". They say that children laugh about 400 times a day, adults only about 15 times a day.  Of course as an adult we have  many trials and tribulations and situations that aren't so funny (and nothing to laugh about) but that is even more reason to bring laughter into your life. Benefits of laughter: *Stimulates physical healing; *Relaxes  your whole body; *Boost immunity; *Lowers stress hormone; *Decreases pain; *Helps with circulation, good for the heart; *Eases anxiety and fear; *Relieves stress and alters your mood; *Strengthens relationships; and more .......Laughter is strong natural medicine for your body & mind....

Islip Art Gallery at Brookwood Hall Mansion-A must see!

One of my  favorite art galleries to visit is the Islip Art Museum located on 50 Irish Lane in East Islip, New York.  The location is one of the many reasons why I am drawn to this art museum in addition to the incredible art exhibits.  The art gallery is located in a section of a historical mansion called, “Brookwood Hall.”  This landmark 41 room mansion is full of history. That alone makes the trip to the gallery even more appealing.  It was built in 1903 by a very rich businessman from New York City that wanted a getaway for his family.  Over the years it changed ownership several times and was even an orphanage for children.  In 1967 it was sold to the town of Islip for only $385,000.00. The building is also the setting for municipal offices as well as the art gallery.  From the large windows within the gallery, you look out to a lake and large grounds that families can enjoy a picnic and tour the estate.  (Islip.org)           According to Islip Art Museum websit
