Each time we confront and conquer the challenges we face, we conquer fear in ourselves. Never quit. Never give up.

🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Should You Pound Protein after a Workout?
Feed Your Body Protein After Your Workout
Cool down from your workout and pound protein. . . . The so-called “anabolic window” refers to a short period of time following workouts, during which exercisers need to consume protein for muscles to properly recover, grow and become stronger. It revolves around the concept that muscles are more sensitive to protein and therefore more likely to absorb and use protein immediately after exercise than they are later throughout the day. The ‘anabolic window’ implies that delaying protein intake by one hour or more after exercise will reduce or, worse still, prevent muscle anabolism [growth] during recovery.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Happiness
Happiness
Carl Sandburg
I ASKED the professors who teach the meaning of life to tell
me what is happiness.
And I went to famous executives who boss the work of
thousands of men.
They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though
I was trying to fool with them
And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along
the Desplaines river
And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with
their women and children
and a keg of beer and an
accordion.
💡 Something to Think About
What happened yesterday is over. We can replay it a hundred times in our minds; it won’t change the outcome. What happens today is under our influence. We can live in the make believe world of the past, or, we can live in the adventurous world of the present. It’s a choice.
👊 Today’s Power Thought ~ It’s Better to Climb Together
If we get to the top by stepping on people we’ll find it very lonely. We can get to the top a lot faster if we’re working together and arrive at the same time. It’ll be time to party with all who joined us on the journey.
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Leap and Grow Wings
“If we listened to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go into business, because we’d be cynical. Well, that’s nonsense. You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.”
~ Ray Bradbury
💡 Something to Think About
Letting go and moving on is often better said than done. It takes courage to let go. It takes faith to move on into an unknown future. What are you holding on to that is holding you back? Is it time to let go and move on?
