“The noun conscience refers to a state of awareness or a sense that one’s actions or intentions are either morally right or wrong, along with a feeling of obligation to do the right thing. . . . Conscious, on the other hand, is an adjective that indicates that a person is awake and alert and able to understand what is happening around them, such as a patient who becomes fully conscious after being administered anesthesia.”

Today’s Poem ~ Courage
Courage
Sri Chinmoy
To speak ill of the world
Needs courage,
But fortunately or unfortunately
Everybody has that courage.
To love the world
As one’s own,
Very own,
Needs courage.
Unfortunately, most of us are wanting
In that courage.
The courage of the heart,
The courage of the soul
We badly need,
And not the courage
Of the unruly,
Aggressive,
Impure,
Demanding vital.
✨ Inspiring Quote: The Power of Love
One word
Frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
That word is love. ~ Sophocles

🔠 Grammar Tip: It’s Not Aerobics – It’s Run On Sentences
Run-on sentence
A run-on sentence is two complete sentences joined by a simple comma. This is different from a really long sentence. You need conjunctions to fix a run-on sentence. Here’s an example:
- Incorrect: Practice is over at 5pm, you need to pick John up in time.
- Correct: Practice is over at 5pm, so you need to pick John up in time.
You can also replace the comma with a semi-colon or a period to make two complete sentences correctly.
🍎 Health Hack: Fuel for Your Run
Pre-run snacks boost blood glucose levels, and can top off muscle carbohydrate stores — essential fuel for longer, harder runs. The more time for digestion, the larger the snack. For a snack two hours ahead, go for something rich in carbohydrates such as a bowl of cereal, peanut butter sandwich or small smoothie. This can help power your run and prevent hunger. Typically, 50 to 75 grams of easily-digested carbohydrates can be consumed two hours before a run without causing any stomach upset. . . . When short on time, go for lighter snacks that your body can digest quickly. Consider a handful of dry cereal or a slice of toast with jam. Aim for 15 to 25 grams of carbohydrates in the hour before a run. You also can pop in a carbohydrate gel or half an energy bar for easy digestion if you don’t have access to easy snack foods.
❤️ Today’s Poem – The Hope of Love
The Hope of Love
Meister Eckhart
What keeps us alive, what allows us to endure?
I think it is the hope of loving,
or being loved.I heard a fable once about the sun going on a journey
to find its source, and how the moon wept
without her lover’s
warm gaze.We weep when light does not reach our hearts. We wither
like fields if someone close
does not rain their
kindness
upon
us.
