Thinking Out Loud:

The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but in seeing with new eyes. The only adventure that is doomed from the start is the one we do not attempt. ~ Paul-Emile Victor

NOTE: I read the news online. I read where people see life with the same lens that they have been viewing it for years. The result is tumult and tragedy. When we see life with new eyes we dare to see what is possible. Robert Kennedy said, “There are those that peace-filled future with a sustainable environment is possible when we dare to see with new eyes and set out with hope as our guide and a deep abiding faith that we will succeed.

Dear Friend: Poem by William Shakespeare

Dear Friend

William Shakespeare

When to the session of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time’s waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death’s dateless night,
And weep afresh love’s long since cancelled woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish’d sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o’er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.

Your Colon Will Thank You for Eating Greek Yogurt Everyday for a Month

Eating Greek yogurt for a month can have positive effects on your colon and overall digestive health, primarily due to the presence of probiotics. These are beneficial bacteria that live in your digestive system and play a key role in maintaining gut health. Here’s how Greek yogurt can benefit your colon:

  1. Probiotics: Greek yogurt is rich in probiotics, which help balance the gut microbiota. A healthy balance of gut bacteria is crucial for proper digestion and can help prevent issues like diarrhea, constipation, and inflammatory bowel diseases.
  2. Digestive Health: Probiotics in Greek yogurt can aid digestion and help the body efficiently absorb nutrients from food. This can lead to better overall health and potentially fewer digestive issues.
  3. Immune System Support: A healthy gut contributes to a stronger immune system. Probiotics can enhance immune function, potentially reducing the risk of infections and some chronic diseases.
  4. Lactose Tolerance: For individuals with mild lactose intolerance, Greek yogurt can be easier to digest than other dairy products, as it contains less lactose due to the straining process.
  5. Nutritional Benefits: Greek yogurt is also a good source of protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients, contributing to overall health, including that of the colon.

However, it’s important to choose Greek yogurt that contains live and active cultures and to check for added sugars or artificial ingredients. Also, people with specific health conditions or those who are lactose intolerant should consult with a healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes.

Thinking Out Loud: You’ll Know It When You Find It

To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your path, and don’t worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest. Always do what you are afraid to do. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

NOTE: It takes courage to follow one’s path. Following one’s path often means stepping away from the path that others craft for us. The indoctrination to the path starts early in life and the child comes to believe as he/she matures that the path is his/her destiny. In reality, there may be a different path that is calling. It takes lots of searching, mistakes, and missteps before one can find his/her true path. When we dare to walk in the darkness and search for our path, our heart lights the way. You’ll know it when you find it.
