Life Well Lived #4: Three Steps to Paradise
I took three steps and found myself in Paradise. The first step was a good thought, the second, a good word, and the third, a good deed. – Friedrich Nietzsche This week’s plant is Echinacea, also called purple cone flowers, known for boosting the immune system, especially in helping to heal the common cold, and other wellness benefits. Echinacea is a perennial. Once planted, it returns every year. Thinking of health, for the past twenty years, I’ve intended to improve mine by trimming and toning my body. Alas, perhaps you’ve heard the saying: Repeating the same behaviors and expecting different results is, ummm, unrealistic. In my journey to a life well lived and physical fitness, Nietzsche’s three steps would be a good start, especially the third which would involve turning off my television and getting off the chaise lounge [smile]. Join me! Continuing on last week’s love note about drive-in theaters, just found this list of the Parade’s top picks from each state. I hope you’re soon enjoying movies under the stars. NOTE: The videos offered with each post are chosen for visual interest, inspiration, ideas and brevity. This week’s pick will definitely make you smile Ice Cream This Sunday, July 19th is National Ice Cream Day. Even better, all of July is National Ice Cream Month.
