🌞 Today’s Inspiration ~ You Were Born Great, Believe It

🤗 A Better Life ~ Wake Up to Life
It’s easy to slip a couple of ear pods in and walk through life oblivious to all around us. It’s easy to get lost in our thoughts and problems and sleep walk through the day. It is more difficult to reach out to those around us and check in with them. Try it, you never know if you’ll make someone’s day, turn a frown into a smile, or make a new friend.
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Free Love
Free Love
Rabindranath Tagore
By all means they try to hold me secure who love me in this world.
But it is otherwise with thy love which is greater than theirs,
and thou keepest me free.
But it is otherwise with thy love which is greater than theirs,
and thou keepest me free.
Lest I forget them they never venture to leave me alone.
But day passes by after day and thou art not seen.
If I call not thee in my prayers, if I keep not thee in my heart,
thy love for me still waits for my love.
Feeling Tired? Orange Juice is a Great Pick Me Up Drink
Orange Juice is a Healthy Choice
A tall, chilled glass of orange juice is the most effective remedy to ward off fatigue and tiredness, and rejuvenate your body with a massive dose of citric energy. A 4-ounce glass of orange juice is packed with fructose that is sufficient to charge up your entire body, and lift up your mood as well. There is ample research to validate the claim that vitamin C is a powerful nutrient that battles against oxidative stress that occurs when the body is attacked by free radicals. Vitamin C also energizes the body, and it plays a pivotal role in metabolizing iron, which aids the energizing oxygen in travelling through your bloodstream.
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Happiness
Happiness
Amy Lowell
Happiness, to some, elation;
Is, to others, mere stagnation.
Days of passive somnolence,
At its wildest, indolence.
Hours of empty quietness,
No delight, and no distress.
Happiness to me is wine,
Effervescent, superfine.
Full of tang and fiery pleasure,
Far too hot to leave me leisure
For a single thought beyond it.
Drunk! Forgetful! This the bond: it
Means to give one’s soul to gain
Life’s quintessence. Even pain
Pricks to livelier living, then
Wakes the nerves to laugh again,
Rapture’s self is three parts sorrow.
Although we must die to-morrow,
Losing every thought but this;
Torn, triumphant, drowned in bliss.
Happiness: We rarely feel it.
I would buy it, beg it, steal it,
Pay in coins of dripping blood
For this one transcendent good.
Is, to others, mere stagnation.
Days of passive somnolence,
At its wildest, indolence.
Hours of empty quietness,
No delight, and no distress.
Happiness to me is wine,
Effervescent, superfine.
Full of tang and fiery pleasure,
Far too hot to leave me leisure
For a single thought beyond it.
Drunk! Forgetful! This the bond: it
Means to give one’s soul to gain
Life’s quintessence. Even pain
Pricks to livelier living, then
Wakes the nerves to laugh again,
Rapture’s self is three parts sorrow.
Although we must die to-morrow,
Losing every thought but this;
Torn, triumphant, drowned in bliss.
Happiness: We rarely feel it.
I would buy it, beg it, steal it,
Pay in coins of dripping blood
For this one transcendent good.
