Today’s Anagram:
Theology by Paul Laurence Dunbar
There is a heaven, for ever, day by day,
The upward longing of my soul doth tell me so.
There is a hell, I’m quite as sure; for pray
If there were not, where would my neighbors go?
Joe: “My optometrist girlfriend walked into a trash can.”
Pete: “How did she do that?”
Joe: “She didn’t see it coming.”
Prickly pear cactus are abundant in south Texas. I have two prickly pear cactus plants in my yard. I asked ChatGPT about the health benefits and cooking preparations for enjoying prickly pear cactus. Here’s what ChatGPT offered:
Prickly pear cactus pads, known as “nopales” in Mexican cuisine, offer several health benefits and can be prepared in various delicious ways.
Remember to handle nopales carefully during preparation to avoid the tiny spines. Once cooked, they offer a unique flavor and texture that can enhance many dishes.
Today’s Thinking Out Loud reflection is on Cervantes work, Don Quixote.
“Which Don Quixote replied, wounds received in battle confer honor instead of taking it away; And so, friend Panza say no more. But as I have told thee before, get up as well as thou can, and put me on top of thy beast in whatever fashion pleases thee best, and let us go hence . . .” ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Note: We have all been wounded. The poet, Robert Bly, would do workshops for men. He would give them sticky notes to place on the parts of their bodies where they felt they were wounded. We’ve been wounded emotionally and physically. No one is immune. Instead of bemoaning our wounds. We can look at them with great delight. We can see how strong they have made us. We were strong enough to receive the wound and to heal. We gained strength and endurance from the wound. I can review my life and look at the times I was wounded. I didn’t enjoy being wounded. But I am grateful for how strong they have made me. Don’t let your wounds cripple you. Let your wounds be a source of strength.

Today’s Anagram:
Everyone wants to be healthy. Not everyone wants to do the work it takes to be healthy. Imagine good health as a partnership between you and your doctor. You have to do the work that you can do to give your doctor the best possible opportunity to facilitate your continued health. The work you have to do is to eat healthy, avoid things that are bad for you, get proper rest, and exercise. The doctor’s job is to monitor your progress and to help you over those bumps that we all hit during life. When we cooperate with our doctor by doing what we’re supposed to do we increase the odds that we will maintain good health. Yes, it means giving up some things that we enjoy. I grew up loving pizza and macaroni and meatballs. They were staples in my home. Now, I occasionally have a piece of pizza or two but those are on special occasions. I’ll have pasta once in awhile but forget the meatballs. And, I find joy in exercising. I like the feel of sweat and tired muscles after a heavy workout. Think about your lifestyle and think about what you can do for you and your part of the partnership you have with your doctor to maintain good health.
