What or who are you grateful for today?

Have you told the people you love, you love them? Will they know it by how you treat them?

Have you taken a deep breath of air and are grateful for air you breath, your health, and that you are alive?

Being grateful is a heart-filled way of saying Thank You.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ The Blues

by
The Blues
 Langston Hughes
When the shoe strings break
On both your shoes
And you’re in a hurry-
That’s the blues.

When you go to buy a candy bar
And you’ve lost the dime you had-
Slipped through a hole in your pocket somewhere-
That’s the blues, too, and bad!

🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ Strong Legs Lead to a Healthier Life

by

Keep Your Legs Strong. It’s a Big Deal

Lower-body strength translates into good balance, flexibility, and endurance. As you get older, those attributes are key to reducing your risk of falls and injuries—particularly hip fractures, which often quickly lead to declining health. Up to 20% of hip-fracture patients die within 1 year because of complications from the trauma. “Having weak thigh muscles is the number one predictor of frailty in old age,” says Robert Butler, MD, president of the International Longevity Center—USA in New York City. 

To strengthen them, target your quads with the “phantom chair” move, says Joan Price, author of The Anytime, Anywhere Exercise Book. Here’s how: Stand with back against wall. Slowly walk feet out and slide back down until you’re in a seated position, ensuring knees aren’t beyond toes and lower back is pressed against wall. Hold until your thighs tell you, Enough! Do this daily, increasing your hold by a few seconds each time. (See what else it takes to love your lower body.)
