Today’s Poem ~ The Vintage Man

The Vintage Man

Hafiz

The
Difference
Between a good artist
And a great one Is:

The novice
Will often lay down his tool
Or brush

Then pick up an invisible club
On the mindโ€™s table

And helplessly smash the easels and
Jade.

Whereas the vintage man
No longer hurts himself or anyone

And keeps on
Sculpting

Light.

๐ŸŽ Today’s Health Tip ~ Strengthen Your Core

Build a Strong Core

Core-strength exercises strengthen your core muscles, including your abdominal muscles, back muscles and the muscles around the pelvis. Strong core muscles make it easier to do many physical activities.ย You can do core-strength exercises on a carpeted floor or mat. Breathe freely and deeply during each core-strength exercise. Focus on tightening your transversus abdominis, the deepest abdominal muscle and the one you feel contracting when you cough.

Core exercises are available at the MayoClinic. via a slide show. Repeat each of these core-strength exercises about five times. As your core strength improves, build up to 10 to 15 repetitions. If you have back problems, osteoporosis or other health concerns, talk to your doctor before doing these core-strength exercises.

Resilience: A Big Benefit of Connecting with Others

ย Building positive relationships with people can make a difference in how resilient you are. Resilience, the ability to bounce back after stressful situations, is strengthened when you give and receive support. Try to connect with people who have a positive outlook and can make you laugh and help you. The more positive your relationships are, the better you will be able to face life’s challenges.
