“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
Aesop
“When the mind is allowed to relax, inspiration often follows.” Phil Jackson
Runners will often say that great insights come to them during their run. Running relaxes them. The runner gets into the rhythm of his/her pace and thoughts ramble through his/her head. Out of nowhere and insight floods their minds. It happens to all us when we find ourselves lost in a relaxing moment. It doesn’t have to be running. It can be working in a garden, walking, or playing an instrument. Our minds quiet down and allow new insights to enter.
To a Daisy
Alice Maynell
Slight as thou art, thou art enough to hide,
Like all created things, secrets from me,
And stand a barrier to eternity.
And I, how can I praise thee well and wide
From where I dwell—upon the hither side?
Thou little veil for so great mystery,
When shall I penetrate all things and thee,
And then look back? For this I must abide,
Till thou shalt grow and fold and be unfurled
Literally between me and the world.
Then shall I drink from in beneath a spring,
And from a poet’s side shall read his book.
O daisy mine, what will it be to look
From God’s side even of such a simple thing?
Both red peppers and green peppers are healthy choices, as they are both packed with nutrients such as vitamins C, A, and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants. However, there are some differences between the two.
Red peppers have a slightly higher nutrient content than green peppers, particularly when it comes to vitamin C. Red peppers contain almost three times as much vitamin C as green peppers, making them an excellent source of this important nutrient. Additionally, red peppers have more beta-carotene, which the body can convert into vitamin A, than green peppers.
However, green peppers are still a great source of vitamins and antioxidants, and they are also lower in sugar and calories than red peppers. They also have a slightly higher amount of fiber than red peppers.
Overall, both red and green peppers are healthy choices, and you can’t go wrong with either one. You can mix and match them to add variety and color to your meals, and to ensure that you’re getting a range of nutrients.

“How do you move on? You move on when your heart finally understands that there is no turning back.” J. R. R. Tolkien
Sometimes life lets us know it is impossible to turn back. We have no choice but to move into unknown territory. It takes heaps of courage to walk in the darkness toward some destination we can’t see or imagine. When you find yourself in this situation, take a deep breath, say a short prayer, and step forward. You’ll figure it out. Everything will turn out. Don’t lose heart.
The whole advantage of other people having problems is that they aren’t your problems. When you frequently take on other people’s problems, you get into the habit of enabling. Let’s get crystal clear about the definition of enabling: enabling is the art of continuing to take responsibility for other people, thereby disallowing their personal responsibility.
Some people develop an addiction to drugs, alcohol, or food. Others choose the seemingly kinder, gentler addiction of enabling. It is of no service to other people to take on their problems because they can’t/won’t/don’t know how to fix the problem. It is of service to empower others to take responsibility for themselves and their lives, to encourage, teach, and motivate others to address their own problems.
When choosing fresh asparagus, there are several factors to consider:
Remember that asparagus is best eaten fresh, so try to consume it within a few days of purchasing it. Store it in the refrigerator, wrapped in a damp paper towel or plastic bag, to help keep it fresh.

My Life is a Memory
Rafael Arévalo Martínez
When I met her I loved myself.
It was she who had my best singing,
she who set flame to my obscure youth,
she who raised my eyes toward heaven.
Her love moistened me, it was an essence.
I folded my heart like a handkerchief
and after I turned the key on my existence.
And thus it perfumes my soul
with a distant and subtle poetry.
