🤗 A Better Life ~ Learn to Roll with It

by

It’s been my experience that no matter how well I plan the day, it seldom works the way I want it to work. Unexpected surprises and interruptions mark my path. I’ve found that learning to roll with the surprises and interruptions keep me centered. Today, if unexpected surprises and interruptions mark your day, just roll with it. 

💡 Something to Think About

by

When I was a kid I’d go fishing with friends. I recall using a small red lure called a “daredevil” to catch pickerel. I’d cast the lure near lily pads and hope I’d get a strike. The lure worked fairly well and soon I’d get a strike and a large pickerel would leap out of the water with the lure stuck in its mouth. If the pickerel let the lure pass, it had another day to enjoy life. How many times do you and I snap at the lure someone tosses by us. If we only let it go, the day would have been a happier one. Today, let the lures pass by and enjoy life.

by

Today, take an inventory or all the false beliefs, myths, and assumptions you’ve made about yourself. Once you’ve taken your inventory, laugh at them, don’t a believe a word they’re tossing at you.

🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Are You Getting Enough Magnesium?

by

“Almost half of Americans don’t get enough magnesium from their diet. Over time, low levels of the mineral may set the stage for a variety of health issues, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and migraines. Older adults, alcoholics, and those with type 2 diabetes or digestive issues are more likely to lack it, either because their bodies get rid of too much magnesium or they don’t take in enough in the first place. . . . An adult woman needs about 310 milligrams of magnesium a day, and 320 milligrams after age 30. Pregnant women need an extra 40 milligrams. Adult men under 31 need 400 milligrams and 420 milligrams if they’re older.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Bluebird

by

Bluebird

Charles Bukowski

there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
to let anybody see
you.
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he’s
in there.

there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody’s asleep.
I say, I know that you’re there,
so don’t be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he’s singing a little
in there, I haven’t quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it’s nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don’t
weep, do
you?
