Make time for laziness. You don’t have to be constantly on the go — that’s how you get run down. Spend a little time each day or each week doing something you enjoy that is completely frivolous. For example, watch TV or a silly movie, chat on the phone, play a game, or just listen to music.

🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ 3rd of 3 Heart Health Myths
Myth: Omega-3 fatty acid supplements will help your heart.
The argument: Eating fish may lower your risk of dying of heart disease thanks to the unsaturated fatty acids in seafood, which may reduce inflammation and lower levels of blood fats called triglycerides. But if you don’t eat fish regularly (or at all), reaching for an omega-3 or fish oil supplement seems like a good shortcut.
The reality: A major review of studies including nearly 80,000 patients found no link between omega-3 supplements and heart disease. The takeaway: While supplements probably aren’t harmful, you may be better off getting your omega-3s from your diet, rather than from a bottle.

Today’s Poem ~ Kind Words
Kind Words
Daniel Clement Colesworthy
A little word in kindness spoken,
A motion or a tear,
Has often healed the heart that’s broken,
And made a friend sincere.
A word – a look – has crushed to earth
Full many a budding flower,
Which, had a smile but owned its birth,
Would bless life’s darkest hour.
Then deem it not an idle thing,
A pleasant word to speak;
The face you wear, the thoughts you bri

I have a fear of speed bumps.
But I am slowly getting over it.

Today’s Poem ~ Making Life Worthwile
Making Life Worth While
Poet: George Eliot
Every soul that touches yours –
Be it the slightest contact –
Get there from some good;
Some little grace; one kindly thought;
One aspiration yet unfelt;
One bit of courage
For the darkening sky;
One gleam of faith
To brave the thickening ills of life;
One glimpse of brighter skies –
To make this life worthwhile
And heaven a surer heritage.
