Joe: “My neighbor is really rude. At 3 a.m. this morning he wouldn’t stop ringing my doorbell.”
Pete: “Were you upset?”
Joe: “Not really, fortunately, I was awake practicing my drum solo.”
Let Truth be your compass and Love your North star. You won’t go wrong. You’ll find your way.
Cut yourself a little slack today. Reserve perfection for a sunrise, sunset or rainbow. Give it your best shot, then leave your worries behind you. You’re going to do fine.
With you I shall ever be;
Over land and sea
My thoughts will companion you;
With yours shall my laughter chime,
And my step keep time
In the dusk and dew
With yours in blithesome rhyme;
In all of your joy shall I rejoice,
On my lips your sorrow shall find a voice,
And when your tears in bitterness fall
Mine shall mingle with them all;
With you in waking and dream I shall be,
In the place of shadow and memory,
Under young springtime moons,
And on harvest noons,
And when the stars are withdrawn
From the white pathway of the dawn.

O, my friend, nothing shall ever part
My soul from yours, yours from my heart!
I am yours and you mine, in silence and in speech,
Death will only seal us each to each.
Through the darkness we shall fare with fearless jest,
Starward we shall go on a joyous new quest;
There be many worlds, as we shall prove,
Many suns and systems, but only one love!
A daily glass of wine is not for everyone. Small amounts of alcohol may stave off heart disease, and lower the odds of stroke and diabetes, too. But heavy drinking ups your chances for liver and heart damage, plus breast, colon, and other cancers. If you don’t drink, don’t start. If you do, limit yourself to one drink a day if you’re a woman, or two if you’re a man.
Put a smile on your face, turn on some upbeat music, sing along with the artist. Before you know it, your day is going to take off. Have a great flight.
“My writing is a process of rewriting, of going back and changing and filling in. in the rewriting process you discover what’s going on, and you go back and bring it up to that point.” ~ Joan Didion
There are times when it is important to follow the rules and there are times when it is important to break the rules. It takes wisdom to know the difference.
Go gluten-free only if you have celiac disease, when gluten (a protein in grains) damages your small intestine. Experts no longer think gluten causes rashes, stomachaches, or weight gain in people without the disease. It can’t hurt to skip gluten-rich foods like cookies and white bread. But don’t ditch whole grains unless your doctor says to. They fill you up and are full of healthy nutrients.
