Clench Your Right Hand When Learning, Then Your Left Hand to Remember
As weird as it might seem, a study actually proved this effective in improving short-term memory.[1] When you’re learning, simply clench your right hand into a fist. And then later on, when you have a need to remember, squeeze your left hand. However, this is only proven to be effective in right-handed individuals.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ A Prayer
A Prayer
Sara Teasdale
When I am dying, let me know
That I loved the blowing snow
Although it stung like whips;
That I loved all lovely things
And I tried to take their stings
With gay unembittered lips;
That I loved with all my strength,
To my soul’s full depth and length,
Careless if my heart must break,
That I sang as children sing
Fitting tunes to everything,
Loving life for its own sake.
🤗 A Better Life ~ A Well Lived Life
“The man/woman is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men/women and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.”

🤗 A Better Life ~ Discover the Pearls in Your Life
Life is made up of a few moments all strung together like pearls. Each moment is a pearl, and it is up to us to pick the ones with the highest luster. If we do not have time to do great things, take a few gentle moments and do small things in a great way. —author Joyce Hilfer
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Love after Love
Love after Love
Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,
And say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
Today’s Smile 😃
Joe: “Where did you get that iWatch, Pete?”
Pete: “I won it in a race.”
Joe: “How many people were in the race?”
Pete: “Three: a policeman, the owner of the iWatch, and me.”
