š¾ Today’s Poem ~ Houses of Dreams
Houses Of Dreams
Sara Teasdale
You took my empty dreams
And filled them every one
With tenderness and nobleness,
April and the sun.
And filled them every one
With tenderness and nobleness,
April and the sun.
The old empty dreams
Where my thoughts would throng
Are far too full of happiness
To even hold a song.
Oh, the empty dreams were dim
And the empty dreams were wide,
They were sweet and shadowy houses
Where my thoughts could hide.
But you took my dreams away
And you made them all come true —
My thoughts have no place now to play,
And nothing now to do.

āļø Writersā Wisdom ~ How do you Write?
“How do you write? You write, man, you write, that’s how, and you do it the way the old English walnut tree puts forth leaf and fruit every year by the thousands. … If you practice an art faithfully, it will make you wise, and most writers can use a little wising up.” ~ William SaroyanĀ
š” Something to Think About
Some days are great. Some days want to beat you down. One thing is certain, we’ve got to get up, dress, and face them all. Not to worry, you’re strong and resilient. Dance and sing on the great days. Face the tough ones head on.Ā
š Today’s Health Tip ~ How Frequently Should You Wash Your Hair?
Even though youāve probably heard that itās best to wash your hair as infrequently as possibleĀ . . . You need to wash your hair regularly for optimal scalp and hair health because not washing your hair enough can cause hardcore dandruff, irritation, clogged pores, breakouts, and even hair loss.Ā When you go too long without washing your scalp, you can get a build-up of sebum, hair product residue, and dead skin cells. “All of this can potentially result in clogged pores, which is not good for your scalp health or your hair health,” Dr. Rubin (demonologist) explains. “The follicles on your scalp are literally the manufacturing plant for your hair, and for your best hair health, it is important that they are not clogged.”
