Today’s Poem ~ Nothing Will Die
Nothing Will Die
Alfred Lord Tennyson
When will the stream be aweary of flowing Under my eye? When will the wind be aweary of blowing Over the sky? When will the clouds be aweary of fleeting? When will the heart be aweary of beating? And nature die? Never, O, never, nothing will die; The stream flows, The wind blows, The cloud fleets, The heart beats, Nothing will die. Nothing will die; All things will change Thro’ eternity. ’Tis the world’s winter; Autumn and summer Are gone long ago; Earth is dry to the centre, But spring, a new comer, A spring rich and strange, Shall make the winds blow Round and round, Thro’ and thro’, Here and there, Till the air And the ground Shall be fill’d with life anew. The world was never made; It will change, but it will not fade. So let the wind range; For even and morn Ever will be Thro’ eternity. Nothing was born; Nothing will die; All things will change.

🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ Make Water Your BFF
H20 is pretty much your BFF. “Every morning, I pour myself a big glass of water, which I drink before putting anything else in my body,” explains Nora Minno, R.D., C.D.N. “Staying hydrated keeps our bodies healthy down to the cellular level and it also helps keep us from overeating. Oftentimes we can mistake thirst for hunger,” she adds, which can lead to taking in more calories than your body needs from food.
🤗 Feel Good Hack ~ Enjoy Food, Eat Mindfully
Take the time to taste and enjoy your food. Eating good food can be one of the greatest pleasures in life. However, to really enjoy it, you must choose tasty food (defined by you), eat slowly enough to savor it, and actually pay attention to your meal while you are eating it. To enhance the experience, try “breaking bread” with friends.
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ A Story Needs Conflict
“Rule number one of creative writing is you have to have conflict. But if you write about yourself mostly, then if you don’t have conflict, then you create it.”
~ John Fulbright
