Today’s Smile 😃
I didn’t sleep very good last night.
So this morning I put Monster energy drinks in my coffee…
I was half way to work when I realized I forgot my car.
Today’s Poem ~ The Key to Love
The Key to Love
Author Unknown
The key to love is understanding..
The ability to comprehend not only the spoken word
But those unspoken gestures
The little things that say so much by themselves.
The key to love is forgiveness..
To accept each others faults and pardon mistakes
Without forgetting, but with remembering
What you learn from them.
The key to love is sharing..
Facing your good fortunes as well as the bad, together
Both conquering problems, forever searching for ways
To intensify your happiness.
The key to love is giving..
Without thought of return
But with the hope of just a simple smile
And by giving in but never giving up.
The key to love is respect..
Realising that you are two separate people, with different ideas
That you don’t belong to each other
That you belong with each other, and share a mutual bond.
The key to love is inside us all..
It takes time and patience to unlock all the ingredients
That will take you to its threshold
It is the continual learning process that demands a lot of work..
But the rewards are more than worth the effort.
And that is the key to love.

🍎 Health Hack ~ Another Benefit of Healthy Food
Healthy Food Might Help Reduce Depressive Symptoms
Switching from an unhealthy diet to a healthier one, even for a short amount of time, leads to fewer symptoms of depression . . . [In a] study researchers split a group of 76 university students who exhibited symptoms of depression into two groups. The first group made healthy changes to their diets, such as eating more fruits, vegetables, fish and olive oil rather than processed foods. The second group didn’t change their diets at all. After three weeks, the healthy eaters had fewer depressive symptoms, with depression scores moving into the normal range. The control group, on the other hand, saw no changes.
