Focus on what you need — not what others think “you need.” Don’t push yourself to go bowling just because someone told you you need to. Don’t listen to what other people “think you need” but rather listen to what you KNOW you need.

đ Todayâs Happy Brain ~ Did You Know that Blueberries are Brain Berries?
Blueberries Are Brain-Berries
Research in animals shows that blueberries may help protect the brain from the damage caused by free radicals (which can damage cells in your body) and may reduce the effects of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.

đ Today’s Health Question ~ What Happens When Your Pet Sleeps in Your Bed?
Do You Know What Your Pet Might Bring to Your Sheets?
Do you sleep with your fur baby? Rover or kittyâs hair and dander on your bedding become extra buffet fare for dust mites. Dogs with a skin condition called mange can spread mites that burrow under your skin. You wonât catch human scabies, but your skin can turn itchy and irritated. Your pets also can pass on a fungal infection called ringworm of the scalp. Aim to change your sheets once a week.

đž Today’s Poem ~ My Song
My Song
Tagore
This song of mine will wind its music around you,
my child, like the fond arms of love.
The song of mine will touch your forehead
like a kiss of blessing.
When you are alone it will sit by your side and
whisper in your ear, when you are in the crowd
it will fence you about with aloofness.
My song will be like a pair of wings to your dreams,
it will transport your heart to the verge of the unknown.
It will be like the faithful star overhead
when dark night is over your road.
My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes,
and will carry your sight into the heart of things.
And when my voice is silenced in death,
my song will speak in your living heart.
