Here’s an experiment for you. Stand back to back with that special person in your life. Take turns describing what you see without turning your head. It’s the way life is, we only have a partial view of reality, we don’t have the full view. We need to hear other views to gain a clearer picture of our reality.

🤗 A Better Life ~ Take a Chance on Love
I know many people who have chosen loneliness over love. Most were in love at one time and were hurt. Now, fearing to be hurt again, they hold back not wanting love to hurt them. Take a chance. Real love heals the hurts, it erases the scars. Take the chance and, who knows, maybe real love will wrap its arms around you and never let go.
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Wonderment
Wonderment
Siegfried Sassoon
Then a wind blew;
And he who had forgot he moved
Lonely amid the green and silver morning weather,
Suddenly grew
Aware of clouds and trees
Gleaming and white and shafted, shaken together
And blown to music by the ruffling breeze.
And he who had forgot he moved
Lonely amid the green and silver morning weather,
Suddenly grew
Aware of clouds and trees
Gleaming and white and shafted, shaken together
And blown to music by the ruffling breeze.
Like flush of wings
The moment passed: he stood
Dazzled with blossom in the swaying wood;
Then he remembered how, through all swift things,
This mortal scene stands built of memories,—
Shaped by the wise
Who gazed in breathing wonderment,
And left us their brave eyes
To light the ways they went.
👊 Today’s Power Thought ~ You’re Doing Just Fine
Ever felt like you’re traveling at the speed of light but getting nowhere? I have, many times. I’m mixing metaphors, but life is often like the tides. The tides rise and fall. If you’re at the beach, you hardly notice the water creeping toward you. It’s often this way as we journey through life. What we perceive to be no progress is actually movement moving at a perfect pace for us.

✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Will Your Muse Show Up Today?
“Discipline allows magic. To be a writer is to be the very best of assassins. You do not sit down and write every day to force the Muse to show up. You get into the habit of writing every day so that when she shows up, you have the maximum chance of catching her, bashing her on the head, and squeezing every last drop out of that bitch.” ~

🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ Do You Have to Follow a Certain Diet to Eat Healthy?
Answer: No – Follow the Eating Pattern that Leads You to Good Health
Although certain people need — or choose — to avoid particular foods or adopt diets for health reasons, most people don’t have to follow any specific diet to feel their best. That’s not to say that certain eating patterns can’t benefit you. For instance, some people feel healthiest when following a low carb diet, while others thrive on high carb diets. In general, though, eating healthy has nothing to do with adhering to diets or certain dietary rules. “Healthy eating” simply means prioritizing your wellness by fueling your body with nutritious foods. The specifics may be different for each person depending on their location, financial situation, culture and society, and taste preferences.
💡 Something to Think About
There’s more than one way to journey through life. Find your own way. Find the way that’s right for you. Once you’ve found it, stay true to it.
