This is Just to Say
William Carlos Williams
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Is Pineapple a Healthy Choice?
Answer: Pineapple is a Healthy Choice Winner
If you’re looking for a tropical fruit packed with excellent health benefits, look no further than the pineapple, rich in vitamin C and manganese. The best reason to eat pineapple, however, is an enzyme called bromelain, which you can only get by eating this tasty fruit. Bromelain helps you absorb antibiotics, stops diarrhea, and may even fight diabetes, heart disease and cancer, according to a study by Biotechnology Research International. It also shortens the healing time after surgery, and is used for treating inflammation and sports injuries.

👊 Today’s Power Thought ~ Today’s is Yours
Today’s your day. Don’t hold back. Reach down, give it everything you’ve got.
🤗 A Better Life ~ The Best Things in Life
The Neil Diamond song, Forever in Blue Jeans, contains the lyrics,
“Money talks
But it don’t sing and dance and it don’t walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I’d much rather be forever in blue jeans.”
There’s lots of wisdom in those words. Money can give us many things, but it can’t give us someone who loves us unconditionally and becomes our soul mate/best friend.
