Yesterday, I was with a group of friends. Someone wanted to take a photo of the group but wanted everyone in the photo. Six people were too many for a selfie. There was no one near by to take the photo. One of the group had the bright idea of taking off a sandal and wedging into the branch of a small tree and then putting the iPhone inside the sandal and setting a timer. The first try was a wonderful photo of our legs. The second try caught half our heads. Then a member of the group removed a belt and secured the belt around the tree, sandal, and phone. The camera’s focus reset, the ten-second timer started, and we ended up with a photo of six happy people. There’s always a way through, no matter the challenge.

Today’s Quote: It Will Get Better
There is something in the human spirit that will survive and prevail, there is a tiny and brilliant light burning in the heart of man that will not go out no matter how dark the world becomes. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Today’s Poem: In the Beginning by Dylan Thomas
In The Beginning
Dylan Thomas
In the beginning was the three-pointed star,
One smile of light across the empty face,
One bough of bone across the rooting air,
The substance forked that marrowed the first sun,
And, burning ciphers on the round of space,
Heaven and hell mixed as they spun.
In the beginning was the pale signature,
Three-syllabled and starry as the smile,
And after came the imprints on the water,
Stamp of the minted face upon the moon;
The blood that touched the crosstree and the grail
Touched the first cloud and left a sign.
In the beginning was the mounting fire
That set alight the weathers from a spark,
A three-eyed, red-eyed spark, blunt as a flower,
Life rose and spouted from the rolling seas,
Burst in the roots, pumped from the earth and rock
The secret oils that drive the grass.
In the beginning was the word, the word
That from the solid bases of the light
Abstracted all the letters of the void;
And from the cloudy bases of the breath
The word flowed up, translating to the heart
First characters of birth and death.
In the beginning was the secret brain.
The brain was celled and soldered in the thought
Before the pitch was forking to a sun;
Before the veins were shaking in their sieve,
Blood shot and scattered to the winds of light
The ribbed original of love.
Health Fact: CO2 levels Causing Problems?
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: High CO2 levels can cause inflammation and respiratory issues. Omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties, can help reduce inflammation in the body. These fatty acids are found in fatty fish (such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines), flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and hemp seeds. Including these foods in the diet can support respiratory health and reduce inflammation caused by high CO2 exposure.
Incorporating these dietary elements can help support overall health and resilience against the adverse effects of a high CO2 environment.

Today’s Thought: Hold On, Never Quit
Yesterday afternoon a whooper of a thunderstorm roared through my area. Lightening and thunder at times were instantaneous. The winds drove the heavy rain sideways. I was happy I was in my home. Then, as quickly as the storm hit, it subsided and the Texas sun was as bright as ever. That’s how it is with life. Storms hit us, sometimes with a raging fury. If we hold on, the storm loses its power and our sunlight returns. We all have to endure challenges. They’re not always simple to overcome. If we hold on we can outlast the challenges. Never quit.
