Today’s Thought: Three Unproven Vaccines Myths
I got my COVID booster today. I’ve never experienced anything more than a sore arm from any of the COVID shots. There are some wild and unproven myths about getting a vaccine. Check out these that made the rounds: Vaccines contain microchips for tracking. Seriously? I wonder if the folks who bought into that one realize they’re being tracked every second by their cell phone. Here’s another: Vaccines alter your DNA: I’m not a genetic scientist but if it did change, I hope it gives me the dancing gene so I can win on Dancing With The Stars. Here’s another silly vaccine myth: Vaccines magnetize your body. I wish I knew this one early in my career.I would have had a built in excuse for being late. After all, I could have told my boss, I was stuck to the car door until the jaws of life pried me free. Some folks may have good reasons for not being vaccinnated. We do, however, have an obligation to ourselves, our family, and those we associate with to learn the truth before believing a wildly created myth i true..

Today’s Quote: Better Days Are Ahead for You
Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.” ― Stephen Hawking
Today’s Poem: My Heart Leaps Up by William Wordsworth
My Heart Leaps Up
William Wordsworth
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
Health Facts: Want to Feel Better?
Here are two lesser-known but important health facts about reducing digital screen time:
- Improved Sleep Quality: Reducing digital screen time, especially before bedtime, can improve your sleep quality. Exposure to blue light from screens suppresses melatonin production, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep. Even a short break from screens in the evening can help restore your natural circadian rhythm, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep.
- Enhanced Mental Well-Being: Cutting back on digital time helps reduce mental fatigue and cognitive overload. Constant exposure to information through digital devices can lead to decision fatigue and stress, which impacts overall mental health. A reduction in screen time allows for moments of reflection, mindfulness, and increased focus, which benefits mental clarity and emotional well-being.

Today’s Thought: You Don’t Have To Do That
“Act your age, grow up, don’t be foolish.” Ever heard those admonitions when you were growing up? Sometimes we live with voices in our heads screaming admonitions at us. The way I look at life, I think I won’t fit the stereotype and act my age, whatever that is. Maybe I’ll dance in the rain. Buy a cone of ice cream and get it all ove my face. I like singer Bonnie Raitt’s song, “Give Them Something to Talk About.” You don’t have to act your age, grow up, and you can be foolish in another’s eyes. Enjoy yourself. Lighten up. You’ll thank me later. :}
