Self Care, Emotional Health, Joy and Singing!

I've been listening to podcasts about emotional health.  (Pete Scazzero is one of my favorite at the moment)...  I learned from Dr. Nicole LePera on the Do The Thing podcast, about how important the Vagus nerve is... and to activate it, deep breathing and SINGING are effective!  I'm not good at carrying a tune, but I have lots of wonderful old songs in my heart.  Today it was, "There is Sunshine is my soul today, more glorious and bright, than shines in any earthly sky, for Jesus is my light!"  Fun to learn that singing helps keep me healthy!!

Think Before You Speak

If you think twice before you speak once, you will speak twice as well for your effort.  It would be better to say nothing than to speak in a way that serves no purpose.  And, to speak pertinently, consider both what is proper and when it is proper to speak.  In all arguments let truth be your aim, not winning the argument, or unfair interest; and try to gain understanding rather than to expose wrong in your opponent....
