Don’t let time slip away. Tell those close to you, you love them. Call your parents tell them thank you for all they’ve done for you. Reconcile with a family member over past grievances. Before you know it, time will have slipped away. The chance to connect will no longer exist. You won’t regret it. Don’t let time slip away.

A good friend is moving out of the neighborhood to move closer to family nearly 1200 miles away. She was a good neighbor and friend. We’ll all miss her and wish her well. We’ll have good memories of her time here. Now, the goal is to welcome our new neighbors into her home. I’m looking forward making new friends. Life goes on and we all have to move on.
Today’s Health Tip ~ Ginger Can Relieve Nausea and Vomiting
Ginger Has Surprising Health Benefits
Ginger can be enjoyed raw, cooked, steeped in hot water or as a supplement, and is effective in all forms. It’s often taken by women suffering from morning sickness, a type of nausea and vomiting that can occur during pregnancy. Ginger is also helpful for people undergoing chemotherapy or major surgery, since these treatments can cause severe nausea and vomiting. Taking 1 gram of ginger daily, prior to undergoing chemo or surgery, can significantly reduce the severity of these symptoms. Ginger can even be used as a natural remedy for motion sickness. When taken beforehand, it can help reduce the intensity of nausea symptoms and speed of recovery time. How this works is not entirely understood, but it’s hypothesized that ginger regulates nervous system signaling in the stomach and speeds up the rate at which the stomach empties, thereby reducing nausea and vomiting. Ginger is generally considered safe, but heartburn, stomach pain and diarrhea can occur at doses above 5 grams per day..

Today’s Good Word ~ Participate
When I was growing up I played sports. It didn’t matter the season, I enjoyed playing. I didn’t like sitting on the bench. I wanted to play. For me, engaging ins sports is a metaphor for life. If you want to enjoy the game, you have to participate. If you want to enjoy life, you have to participate. Sitting on the sidelines lets the game and life slip by. Before you know it, it’s all over. What have you got to lose? Join in the game. Participate.

Something to Think About
The voices of doom were in fine voice this morning as I read the news. They spoke of inflation, recession, evil people winning elections, fires, floods, and melting glaciers. They were forecasting a future even worse than their news. They bore me. I see a different world. I see people helping each other. I see tough times making us stronger and good times ahead. I have an optimistic faith in a democracy figuring it out and things working out. I’m not going to hide in a closet. I going to choose to enjoy life. I’ll let the naysayers sing their dirges. I prefer to sing and dance.
Today’s Poem ~ Fear
Fear
Hart Crane
The host, he says that all is well
And the fire-wood glow is bright;
The food has a warm and tempting smell,—
But on the window licks the night.
And the fire-wood glow is bright;
The food has a warm and tempting smell,—
But on the window licks the night.
Pile on the logs… Give me your hands,
Friends! No,— it is not fright…
But hold me… somewhere I heard demands…
And on the window licks the night.
