Raspberries are Good for Your Brain and Nerves

Just one cup contains nearly half your daily manganese—important for brain and nerve function, as well as bone and joint health. Raspberries are high in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, and low in carbohydrates.

Something to Think About

by

There is much more that unites us than that which divides us. When we change our focus from that which divides to that which unites, our relationships are changed. We begin to see the deep connections between ourselves and others. We may believe differently, hold differing political perspectives, and have cultural differences, yet, these differences are minor compared to what unites us as human beings. Perhaps it is time to reject divisive calls that seek to divide us and demand calls that unite us. 

Today’s Health Tip ~ Want to Lower Your Stroke Risk?

by

Drink Green Tea

Green tea’s antioxidant compounds have been linked to slower cancer growth, improved blood flow, weight loss, improved liver function, and reduced rates of brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. But black tea’s no slouch in the health department either. It’s been shown to reduce stroke risk and lung damage from smoking. But whether you knock back a cup a week or several a day, you’re doing your body a favor.

Note: I make a large pot of green tea, cool it, and put it in the fridge with a few slices of lemon. It makes great iced tea to cool off the hot south Texas days.

Today’s Good Word ~ Fire Up

by

Fire up your passion to do something great. You may not win the Nobel Prize, but you may make a difference in one person’s life. Fire up your passion to make today the best day ever. Go all in with your work and relationships. Fire up your enthusiasm for life. Don’t let the news get you down. Life is wonderful, it’s joy-filled, it’s waiting for you to experience it all.

Today’s Poem ~ Life in a Love

by
Life In A Love
Robert Browning
Escape me?
Never—
Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at last, I fear—
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed—
But what if I fail of my purpose here?

It is but to keep the nerves at strain,
To dry one’s eyes and laugh at a fall,
And baffled, get up to begin again,—
So the chase takes up one’s life, that’s all.
While, look but once from your farthest bound,
At me so deep in the dust and dark,
No sooner the old hope drops to ground
Than a new one, straight to the selfsame mark,
I shape me—
Ever
Removed!

Joe: “My online dating profile says I’m paid to travel and have direct responsibility for hundreds of people.”

Pete: “How’s it working for you?”
