🌾 Today’s Poem ~ The Mountain and the Squirrel

The Mountain and the Squirrel

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The mountain and the squirrel
     Had a quarrel,
     And the former called the latter 'Little Prig;
     Bun replied,
     'You are doubtless very big;
     But all sorts of things and weather
     Must be taken in together,
     To make up a year
     And a sphere.
     And I think it no disgrace
     To occupy my place.
     If I'm not so large as you,
     You are not so small as I,
     And not half so spry.
     I'll not deny you make
     A very pretty squirrel track;
     Talents differ; all is well and wisely put;
     If I cannot carry forests on my back,
     Neither can you crack a nut.'

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.

The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.

🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Is Rosemary a Healthy Addition to Your Cooking?

by

Answer: It’s a very healthy addition.

I live in south Texas and rosemary is abundant. I have rosemary bushes in my yard. They are beautiful for the landscape and add a wonderful fragrance. When I prepare dinner, I step outside and take a few clippings. It kicks my meal up a couple of notches. Here’s what the World’s Healthiest Foods had to say:

The wonderful smell of rosemary is often associated with good food and great times. But it could just as easily be associated with good health. Rosemary contains substances that are useful for stimulating the immune system, increasing circulation, and improving digestion. Rosemary also contains anti-inflammatory compounds that may make it useful for reducing the severity of asthma attacks. In addition, rosemary has been shown to increase the blood flow to the head and brain, improving concentration. So, the next time you enhance the flavor of some special dish with rosemary, congratulate yourself for a wise as well as delicious choice.

🤗 A Better Life ~ Some Days are Good and Others are Tough

by

Some days I want to forget. Some days I want to remember and hold tight against me. I’ve had a lot more good days than bad days. I’ll dance with the good days and be grateful for the tough days. The tough days made me stronger and taught me important life lessons. Dance with the Good Days every chance you get.
