Bumps and bruises, scrapes and scars, we all get them either figuratively or literally. Each time we bounce back we become a tad stronger, a bit more resilient. In many ways, they have become our teachers.

🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Is Peanut Butter a Healthy Choice for Breakfast?
“Peanut butter not only tastes good, it’s good for you. When you include peanut butter in your breakfast, you fuel your body with fiber, protein and healthy fats to satisfy you till lunchtime. Be sure to purchase natural peanut butter — the ingredients should be peanuts, and perhaps a touch of salt. Anything else isn’t as healthy, and just shouldn’t be considered peanut butter.”
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Poems of Joy
Poems of Joy
Walt Whitman
1
O TO make the most jubilant poem!
Even to set off these, and merge with these, the carols of Death.
O full of music! full of manhood, womanhood, infancy!
Full of common employments! full of grain and trees.
O for the voices of animals! O for the swiftness and balance of fishes!
O for the dropping of rain-drops in a poem!
O for the sunshine, and motion of waves in a poem.
O the joy of my spirit! it is uncaged! it darts like lightning!
It is not enough to have this globe, or a certain time—I will have thousands of
globes,
and all time.
