Today’s Poem: Yes! No! by Mary Oliver
Yes! No!
Mary Oliver
How necessary it is to have opinions! I think the spotted trout
lilies are satisfied, standing a few inches above the earth. I
think serenity is not something you just find in the world,
like a plum tree, holding up its white petals.
The violets, along the river, are opening their blue faces, like
small dark lanterns.
The green mosses, being so many, are as good as brawny.
How important it is to walk along, not in haste but slowly,
looking at everything and calling out
Yes! No! The
swan, for all his pomp, his robes of grass and petals, wants
only to be allowed to live on the nameless pond. The catbrier
is without fault. The water thrushes, down among the sloppy
rocks, are going crazy with happiness. Imagination is better
than a sharp instrument. To pay attention, this is our endless
and proper work.
Today’s Joke: Joe Tried To Exercise
Joe: “I tried walking up a hill without my iWatch.”
Pete: “How did it go?”
Joe: ‘I stopped after a couple of meters. I had neither the time or the inclination.
Health Facts: The Right Diet Can Help Keep Your Lungs Healthy
Here are two lesser-known but important dietary health facts to keep your lungs healthy:
- Incorporating Omega-3 Fatty Acids Reduces Lung Inflammation: Omega-3 fatty acids, commonly found in foods like flaxseeds, walnuts, and fatty fish (e.g., salmon), have anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic inflammation can harm lung tissue over time, so eating foods rich in these healthy fats can help reduce inflammation, improve lung function, and may lower the risk of conditions like asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
- Flavonoid-rich Foods Protect Against Respiratory Damage: Foods high in flavonoids, such as apples, berries, and green tea, can protect your lungs from oxidative damage and support overall respiratory health. Flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that may reduce the risk of lung cancer, COPD, and even asthma by neutralizing harmful free radicals that damage lung tissue over time.
Incorporating these nutrient-dense foods into your diet can help keep your lungs in top shape!

Today’s Thought: What Are You Thinking
We can be good at a lot of things, one thing that stumps us is mind reading. You ever have someone say to you, “I know what you’re thinking?” How can we know what someone else is thinking? We can intuit what they are thinking. When we do that we are just guessing. I recall when a colleague said to me, “I know what you’re thinking?” I didn’t say anything because what I was thinking was, “You’re nuts.” He then made to wild guess, which changed my thinking to, “You need an intervention.” I never told him what I was thinking. I not sure what I am thinking until I stop what I’m doing and think about what I’m thinking. I’m now thinking, “Ray, are you as confused as you sound. lol”

Today’s Poem: Friendship by Salomeja Neris
Friendship
Salomeja Neris
Let prophets curse, this world despising,
Until their bloodless lips turn blue!
My friendship – like the sun arising,
Like longing – I extend to you.
In pitch-dark night we often blunder
The clouded skies seem never bright.
And yet I cannot help but wonder:
Why is the earth so full of light?
It’s not the sun that we so cherish
That every morning brings us light.
It is the dawn of our great friendship
That fills us brimful of delight!
It keeps this world and us still going,
It keeps all songs alive and gay.
For friendship’s sake do streams go flowing
And forests sing their roundelay.
