The recipe for today’s soup. I think I’ll make a wonderful day. I’ll start by being grateful that I have a chance to make today’s soup. I’ll add some happy music and sing along in a loud voice. I’ll shower love freely to all who pass by and ask if they want to sample my soup. I’ll add a dash of my secret ingredients, a joyful smile and words of encouragement. My soup is coming along just fine. There’s plenty to go around. Fill your bowl.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Happy the Man
Happy The Man
John Dryden
Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Be fair or foul or rain or shine
The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.
Not Heaven itself upon the past has power,
But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.

But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.
🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ How Important is Breakfast!
Breakfast Fills your Tank with the Energy You Need for the Day
Breakfast is important for a bunch of reasons. It jump-starts your metabolism and stops you from overeating later. Plus, studies show that adults who have a healthy breakfast do better at work, and kids who eat a morning meal score higher on tests. If a big plateful first thing isn’t for you, keep it light with a granola bar or a piece of fruit. Just don’t skip it.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ i shall imagine life
i shall imagine life
e. e. cummings
i shall imagine life
is not worth dying,if
(and when)roses complain
their beauties are in vain
but though mankind persuades
itself that every weed’s
a rose,roses(you feel
certain)will only smile
