How do you begin, how do you end? Does anyone know what a “place” in life really means?

Please respond to this article telling us what you think your place in life means, it could be just the right words at the right time for the right person in the right place in life.

As for the place in my life, in church on Sunday, listening to the pastor, he said “make your place in life”, what did he mean?

As a young girl learning about life I once ask my Mother, who am I, what will I be? My mother’s answer, “you will find your place in life.”

Right now, I’m sitting here listening to Craig Morgan sing “When I get where I’m going”, what a song, if you haven’t listened to it I would advise you to do so, but you have to listen, maybe twice!

It’s amazing how just at the right time the answer will be there, in front of you, just like the above mentioned song.

Sometimes I think I know the three “W’s”, who, what, where, who I am, what I am, where I am, other times I wonder.
Can anyone say they have not been there?

Let’s take it one at a time:

Who am I, well in my first life, I was born and raised a county girl in a small community in southern Kentucky. I was very blessed to have been born into a large and loving family. I attended the local grade and high school, then a year at the local college. I fell in love with a local boy, we were married in the church I had attended since my birth. My husband,my love of my life, and I began another life, a life that would be forever changing.

What am I:

I am an individual on earth looking for the same things you are.

Where am I:

I am at yet another place in life.

Webster’s definition of place, the portion of space occupied by or chosen for something syn position, location, situation, site, spot, station ref locality, vicinity, district: region, tract, area, zone: field, territory, province. https://www.houstir.com/

So, how do you find your place in life? My personal thought on this subject is, live life to the fullest. Along the way keep your eyes open so you can enjoy all life shows you, your ears open so you hear all the choices you will have and keep an open mind so you can learn all that life has to offer.

CBD stands for cannabidiol oil. It is used to treat different symptoms even though its use is rather controversial. There is also some confusion as to how exactly the oil affects our bodies. The oil may have health benefits and such products that have the compound are legal in many places today.

What it is

CBD is a cannabinoid, a compound found in cannabis plant. The oil contains CBD concentrations and the uses vary greatly. In cannabis, the compound that is popular is delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. It is an active ingredient found in marijuana. Marijuana has CBD and THCA and both have different effects.

THC alters the mind when one is smoking or cooking with it. This is because it is broken down by heat. Unlike THC, CBD isn’t psychoactive. This means that your state of mind does not change with use. However, significant changes can be noted within the human body suggesting medical benefits. Happy Hippy Herbals

Hemp is a part of the cannabis plant and in most cases, it is not processed. This is where a lot of the CBD is extracted. Marijuana and hemp originate from cannabis sativa, but are quite different. Today, marijuana farmers are breeding plants so that they can have high THC levels. Hemp farmers do not need to modify plants and are used to create the CBD oil.

How it works

Cannabinoids affect the body by attaching themselves to different receptors. Some cannabinoids are produced by the body and there are the CB1 and CB2 receptors. CB1 receptors are located all through the body with a great number of them being in the brain. The receptors are responsible for mood, emotions, pain, movement, coordination, memories, appetite, thinking, and many other functions. THC affects these receptors.

As for the CB2 receptors, they are mainly in one’s immune system and affect pain and inflammation. Even though CBD does not attach directly here, it directs the body to use cannabinoids more.

The benefits

CBD is beneficial to human health in different ways. It is a natural pain reliever and has anti-inflammatory properties. Over the counter drugs are used for pain relief and most people prefer a more natural alternative and this is where CBD oil comes in.

Research has shown that CBD provides a better treatment, especially for people with chronic pain.

There is also evidence that suggest that the use of CBD can be very helpful for anyone who is trying to quit smoking and dealing with drug withdrawals. In a study, it was seen that smokers who had inhalers that had CBD tended to smoke less than what was usual for them and without any further craving for cigarettes. CBD could be a great treatment for persons with addiction disorders especially to opioids.

There are many other medical conditions that are aided by CBD and they include epilepsy, LGA, Dravet syndrome, seizures and so on. More research is being conducted on the effects of CBD in the human body and the results are quite promising. The possibility of combating cancer and different anxiety disorders is also being looked at.
