In a song line, the singer asks, “tell me tomorrow will be better than today.” The singer was asking for hope. Hope is a lifeline that pulls us from today to tomorrow. Hope is something we can give each other. We can look optimistically toward tomorrow and create a lifeline of hope to share with others.

Today’s Inspiration ~ Let Your Life Reflect Your Great Qualities
“Love yourself and realize that whatever you attempt to achieve in Life is a direct reflection of you.”
Something to Think About
The most important person to seek as a friend is oneself. When I can except myself with all my faults, with all the things I don’t like about myself, and look in the mirror and say I love you. I have made a friend and offered that friend unconditional love.
Today’s Power Thought ~ Want to Achieve Great Goals?

Something to Think About
Einstein said, “There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.” When we experience the mysterious we experience life as wonder. We begin to ask questions not so much to gain answers but to open us up to discover new questions to ask. The deeper we delve into the mysterious the more we understand that understanding the mysterious is like peeling an onion one layer at time. There is always a new layer.
Today’s Poem ~ The Quitter
The Quitter
Robert W. Survive
When you’re lost in the wild and you’re scared as a child,
And death looks you bang in the eye;
And you’re sore as a boil, it’s according to Hoyle
To cock your revolver and die.
But the code of a man says fight all you can,
And self-dissolution is barred;
In hunger and woe, oh it’s easy to blow—
It’s the hell served for breakfast that’s hard.
You’re sick of the game? Well now, that’s a shame!
You’re young and you’re brave and you’re bright.
You’ve had a raw deal, I know, but don’t squeal.
Buck up, do your damnedest and fight!
It’s the plugging away that will win you the day,
So don’t be a piker, old pard;
Just draw on your grit; it’s so easy to quit—
It’s the keeping your chin up that’s hard.
It’s easy to cry that you’re beaten and die,
It’s easy to crawfish and crawl,
But to fight and to fight when hope’s out of sight,
Why, that’s the best game of them all.
And though you come out of each grueling bout,
All broken and beaten and scarred—
Just have one more try. It’s dead easy to die,
It’s the keeping on living that’s hard.

Today’s Health Tip ~ Want a Better Quality of Sleep?
Avoid Alcohol Close to Bedtime
A glass of wine in the evening might help you fall asleep, but can impact the quality of your slumber, leaving you sluggish the following day. To help prevent this, avoid drinking close to bedtime to give your body time to process the alcohol. As a rough guide, it’s thought to take one hour for your body to process one unit of alcohol, although this varies between individuals. To find out more about the units in your drink – and to ensure you’re not exceeding the maximum 14 units a week – use the Unit Calculator on drinkaware.co.uk.
