The noise only bothers one, if one pays attention to it.
One moment it’s all good and the next? Who knows? Life offers no guarantees. Enjoy each moment, fill the moment with love and a zest for living. When the tough times come, endure, you’re strong, don’t quit, don’t give up, a rainbow awaits.

Everything is a gift. The degree to which we are awake to this truth is a measure of our gratefullness, and gratefullness is a measure of our aliveness.
“Writing is like being in love. You never get better at it or learn more about it. The day you think you do is the day you lose it. Robert Frost called his work a lover’s quarrel with the world. It’s ongoing. It has neither a beginning nor an end. You don’t have to worry about learning things. The fire of one’s art burns all the impurities from the vessel that contains it.
Freedom and responsibility are two sides to the same coin. I am free, for example, to drive my car. Yet, I have a responsibility to drive it safely. The decisions I make where freedom and responsibility meet, shape my character.
Joe: “I got good news and bad news today from my lawyer.”
Pete: “What was the bad news?”
Joe: “My blood was all over the crime scene.”
Pete: “What was the good news.”
Joe: “My cholesterol was under control.”
However far I travel, someone has helped me, pointed the way, and taught me a lesson. I hope to do the same for those who are traveling with me.

Be grateful for the kindly friends that walk along your way;
Be grateful for the skies of blue that smile from day to day;
Be grateful for the health you own, the work you find to do,
For round about you there are men less fortunate than you.
Be grateful for the growing trees, the roses soon to bloom,
The tenderness of kindly hearts that shared your days of gloom;
Be grateful for the morning dew, the grass beneath your feet,
The soft caresses of your babes and all their laughter sweet.
Acquire the grateful habit, learn to see how blest you are,
How much there is to gladden life, how little life to mar!
And what if rain shall fall to-day and you with grief are sad;
Be grateful that you can recall the joys that you have had.
Turkey is a popular meat that boasts high-quality protein, B vitamins, selenium, zinc, and phosphorus. It may support various aspects of health, including muscle growth and maintenance, due to its rich supply of nutrients. However, it’s best to avoid processed varieties, as these are high in salt.
