Much of our anxiety is caused by worrying about things we can’t control. Are you upset by the other political party? Can’t sleep because your team lost? Worried about getting COVID? Do the best you can. Make wise decisions. Let the rest go. Worrying is not going to fix anything.

Nature Is What We See

“Nature” is what we see —
The Hill — the Afternoon —

Thunder — the Cricket —
Nay — Nature is Harmony —

🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ Is Muesli a Healthy Cereal?
Muesli is both a healthy and delicious type of cereal
Muesli is typically made with a combination of rolled oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruit.
While similar to granola, muesli differs in that it is consumed raw, or without being baked. In addition, it does not generally contain any added oils or sweeteners.
The combination of whole grains, nuts and seeds makes muesli an excellent source of protein, providing about 8 grams per one-cup (85-gram) serving. It also contains lots of fiber, vitamins and minerals.
You can lower the carb content of muesli significantly by making a grain-free version, which can be made from coconut flakes, nuts and raisins.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ To Friends at Home
To Friends At Home
Robert Louis Stevenson
TO friends at home, the lone, the admired, the lost
The gracious old, the lovely young, to May
The fair, December the beloved,
These from my blue horizon and green isles,
These from this pinnacle of distances I,
The unforgetful, dedicate.

💡 Something to Think About
Life is tough at times. Life isn’t always fair. That’s the way it is. It’s the only life we have. We can surrender to the darkness or we turn the light on and in spite of life at times being tough and at times unfair, we can shine and light the way through the darkness. Light it Up!!
