20 – Wash your hands frequently for 20 seconds. C’mon, it’s not so bad. You’ll have clean fingernails. LOL
6 – Keep a circle of six feet social distance whenever possible. If you need closer contact, hug a tree, pillow, to masker up an imaginary friend. LOL
We’re getting closer and closer to a vaccine and ending COVID-19. Hang in there.
I’ve seen authentic happiness in the poor dancing to mariachi in the market place. I’ve seen it in people helping each other. I’ve seen it in a mom or dad caring for a child. Happiness happens in the most simple places.
Give Me Strength
Tagore
This is my prayer to thee, my lord—-strike,
strike at the root of penury in my heart.
Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.
Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.
Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might.
Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.
And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love.
“You have to dream, you have to have a vision, and you have to set a goal for yourself that might even scare you a little because sometimes that seems far beyond your reach. Then I think you have to develop a kind of resistance to rejection, and to the disappointments that are sure to come your way.”
A carpenter walks into a bar and holds up two fingers, “Five beers, please.”
Look to this Day
Kalidasa
Look to this day:
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence.
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendour of achievement
Are but experiences of time.
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision;
And today well-lived, makes
Yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day;
Such is the salutation to the ever-new dawn!
There’s a “can-do” fire in your belly. Stoke it, turn it into a roaring blaze. You’ve got something special to offer this world.
True or False: A high protein breakfast prevents fat mass gains.
Answer
True: After 12 weeks, the high protein meal prevented fat mass gains whereas the lower protein breakfast did not. High protein led to reductions in what was consumed overall during the rest of the day and reported less hunger than those who skipped breakfast.
I think I’ll make a banana, blueberry high protein smoothie.
Do you have good eyesight? What a wonderful gift. I look out the window and see a deep blue sky, green trees, a red cardinal at the feeder. I read the words I am typing on this post. My eyes bring the world to me and I am grateful that I can see. Here’s hoping your eyes catch the beauty that surrounds you, sees a smile on the face of a loved one, and brings entertainment to you when you need to relax.
Joe: “My girlfriend said, “You haven’t listened to one word I’ve said, have you!?”
Pete: “How did you respond?”
Joe: “My first thought was, what a strange way to start a conversation with me.”
