✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Interaction of Reading and Writing
“The real importance of reading is that it creates an ease & intimacy with the process of writing… It also offers you a constantly growing knowledge of what has been done and what hasn’t, what is trite and what is fresh, what works and what lies there dying (or dead) on the page. The more you read, the less apt you are to make a fool of yourself with your pen or word processor.”

🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Will Stretching Ease Back Pain?
Easing back pain with flexibility exercises
Stretching or flexibility training is the third prong of a balanced exercise program. Muscles tend to shorten and weaken with age. Shorter, stiffer muscle fibers make you vulnerable to injuries, back pain, and stress. But regularly performing exercises that isolate and stretch the elastic fibers surrounding your muscles and tendons can counteract this process. And stretching improves your posture and balance.
🤗 A Better Life ~ You Can Make a Difference By Being Present
When we have a fiend or family member going through tough times, it’s good to be present, listen, refrain from judging or offering advice unless asked. One day it may be our turn.
