🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ Exercise Nourishes Your Skin
Run Away From Aging Skin
Exercise benefits every part of your body — including your largest organ, the skin. Working out improves circulation, helping nourish the skin. Better blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients and may help your skin produce collagen, which staves off wrinkles. Don’t fret about sweat — exercise will not clog your pores. Wash your face right after a workout and avoid tight headbands, which can trap sweat and irritate skin.
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Don’t Let the Rejections Get You Down
“This is a stamina game, so don’t despair if you run down a blind alley and have to start over, or if you get another rejection letter. Every successful writer has gone through that, but they kept writing and didn’t quit until they made it happen.”

You may not have the words of a great poet, but your actions may be as eloquent. Let your actions put a shine on all who come your way today. No words needed. Actions wrapped in love and kindness will do just fine.
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Forever at His Side to Walk
Forever at His side to walk
Emily Dickinson
Forever at His side to walk —
The smaller of the two!
Brain of His Brain —
Blood of His Blood —
Two lives — One Being — now —Forever of His fate to taste —
If grief — the largest part —
If joy — to put my piece away
For that beloved Heart —
The smaller of the two!
Brain of His Brain —
Blood of His Blood —
Two lives — One Being — now —Forever of His fate to taste —
If grief — the largest part —
If joy — to put my piece away
For that beloved Heart —
All life — to know each other —
Whom we can never learn —
And bye and bye — a Change —
Called Heaven —
Rapt Neighborhoods of Men —
Just finding out — what puzzled us —
Without the lexicon!
