Poem of the Day ~ Reconciliation

by

Reconciliation

Else Lasker-Schüler

A great star will fall into my lap. . .
We would hold vigil tonight,

Praying in languages
That are carven like harps.

We would be reconciled tonight—
So fully God overwhelms us.

Our hearts are only children,
Eager for weary-sweet slumber.

And our lips would kiss each other,
Why are you fearful?

Does not your heart border upon mine—
Your blood always dyes my cheeks red.

We would be reconciled tonight,
If we clasp each other, we shall not perish.

A great star will fall into my lap.

Vegetables and Grain and a Winning Combination

You’ll need a salad, one other vegetable, and three servings of whole grains every day. Any vegetable will do, but collard greens, kale, and spinach are especially good. Though there’s little research on brain function and grains, part of the science behind the MIND diet may include how the foods work together. Researchers are still trying to figure out why it works so well.

“

Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Disappointments happen. Shake them off, wish them a hearty farewell and start again. Each time you rise you gain strength, you become more resilient, you become invincible.

Feeling Good Tip ~ Let the Light In

Open Your Shades

This might seem silly, but if you aren’t able to take daily walks or you feel stressed by going outside, opening your curtains or blinds each morning can be a nice way to interact with the natural world. Even on cloudy days, natural light can help brighten up your space. Bonus points if it’s warm enough to open your windows.

Poem of the Day ~ Paradox

by

Paradox

Angelina Weld Grinke

When face to face we stand
        And eye to eye,
How far apart we are——
As far, they say, as God can ever be
From what, they say, is Hell.

But, when we stand
Fronting the other,
Mile after mile slipping in between,
O, close are we,
As close as is the shadow to the body,
As breath, to life, . . . . . . . .
As kisses are to love.

Health Tip of the Day ~ Is a Glass of Red Wine Heart Healthy?

by

So, is red wine heart-healthy?

Is red wine good for your heart? “I would say that is unknown,” admits Dr. Bruemmer. “We don’t really know.” 

Some studies do indicate that the secret to a longer life might be found at the bottom of a wine goblet. But there’s nothing that shows without a doubt that red wine (or any alcohol) is ideal for your health.

“As physicians, we would never recommend that someone start drinking alcohol to protect themselves from death,” he continues. “There’s just no evidence to support that.”

And if you sip the occasional glass of red wine or another adult beverage with a few meals a week … well, you should be OK. “If you’re going to enjoy a drink, focus on doing it in moderation,” advises Dr. Bruemmer.

Just don’t think you’re doing it for your health.
