🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ Should You Be Taking Vitamin Supplements?
Healthy and Eating a Well Balanced Healthy Diet? You May Not Need Supplements
According to Mayo Clinic, whole food is not to be replaced by supplements, as supplements cannot replicate all the health benefits of whole foods. For example, fruits and vegetables carry many different nutrients that provide health benefits to the human body. . . .if you’re a pretty healthy person with a well-balanced diet containing a wide variety of foods — including fruits, vegetables, reduced fat dairy products, whole grains, legumes, lean meats and fish — you most likely don’t need supplements. Talk to your health care team and dietitian if you have questions or concerns about supplements.

✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Enjoy the Writing Journey
I would want my younger self to realize that as wonderful as publication is, it isn’t the point of the writing process. It’s just a stop along the road. Writing is more about the journey than the destination. As award-winning author Anne Lamott points out, “Being published isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Writing is.” So don’t let your non-published status get you down. Just enjoy where you are right now.” ~ K. M. Weiland

🤗 A Better Life ~ Waiting is Better than Interfering
It is difficult not to interfere in other people’s business, especially when the people are those closest to us. It usually doesn’t work out too well. Feeling are hurt and resentments linger. It’s not easy to see a loved one suffer or struggle, but it may be better to wait until asked or to suggest, ‘Let me know if I can help.’
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ A Mime
A MIME
Hafiz
A mime stands upon a gallows
For a crime he did not do.
When given a last chance to speak,
He remains true to his art.
A crowd of hundreds has gathered
To see his last performance,
Knowing he will not talk.
The mime takes from the sky
The circles of bright spheres,
Lays them on a table,
Expressing deep love
For the companionship and guidance
They have given him for so many years.
He brings the seas before our eyes,
Somehow a golden fin appears, splashes.
Look, dear ones, there is turquoise rain.
He removes his heart from his body and seems to
Arouse all life on this splendid earth
With such a sacred tenderness,
There for an extraordinary moment
It looked like someone was giving birth
To the Christ again.
He mounts his soul upon the body of Freedom.
The great Breeze comes by.
The sun and moon join hands,
They bow so gracefully T
hat for a moment, for a moment
Everyone knows that God is real,
So the tongue fell out
Of the mouth of this world
For days.
