Keep Your Balance
If you’re young and active, good balance will help you avoid injuries. If you’re older, it will keep you active longer and lower the chances you’ll fall and break a bone. No matter your age, good balance means better muscle tone, a healthier heart, and greater confidence. Yoga and tai chi are great ways to work on it, but just about anything that keeps you moving, even walking, can help.

Here’s what I do each morning: As part of my daily stretching routine, I stretch each of my quads. I stand on one leg and grab hold of my foot on the other leg and pull it up toward my butt. I hold the “flamingo” poise for 30 seconds. I end up stretching my quads and practicing balance on each leg.

🌞 Today’s Inspiration ~ Move On!
Bad stuff happens.
Sometimes it makes no sense at all. Sometimes its unfair.
Sometimes, it just plain sucks.
Bad stuff happens sometimes.
Always remember that, but remember that you have to move on somehow. You just pick your head up and stare at something beautiful like the sky, or the ocean, and you move the hell on.
~ James Patterson

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Is It Raining Little Flower?
Is It Raining Little Flower
Anonymous
Is it raining, little flower?
Be glad of rain.
Too much sun would wither thee,
‘Twill shine again.
The sky is very black, ’tis true,
But just behind it shines
The blue.
Art thou weary, tender heart?
Be glad of pain;
In sorrow the sweetest things will grow
As flowers in the rain.
God watches and thou wilt have sun
When clouds their perfect work
Have done.
👊 Today’s Power Thought ~ You Are Special
What would life be like without you? One word, boring!

✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Persist! Persist! Persist!
I think persistence in the face of adversity is an essential part of a writer’s job description. If you don’t care enough about it to avoid being easily disheartened that way, you really should be doing something else.
~ Lawrence Block
