She sent me the following: 1 After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself. 2 I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders. 3 I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees. 4 I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am. 5 I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. The story makes them w

  Make your own cleaning products Claudia Sidoti, Head Chef and Head of Recipe Development at foodkit delivery service HelloFresh , believes that the easiest way to make cleaning a part of your life is to use products you already have in your kitchen. Here are her top natural cleaning supplies: Cream of tartar can act as a natural bleaching agent for white kitchen sinks or tile. Vinegar and baking soda can wipe away grease and dirt from your microwave.  Baking soda with a splash of club soda is great for stain removal, especially if your tablecloth or apron gets dirty. Get rid of soap scum and rust from your shower by rubbing affected surfaces with the cut surface of a halved lemon. Allow the juice to work its magic for about a minute, and then use a rough pad to get any remaining junk. Add one cup of undiluted lemon juice to your laundry to act as a natural bleach to clothing. Forget to use a coaster? Remove water rings using a pinch of salt and coconut oil.

  How the fentanyl crisis at the Mexico border affects Central Texas   Here is quote from the above article: By: Cierra Shipley Posted at 5:09 PM, Jun 03, 2021 and last updated 7:47 PM, Jun 03, 2021 WACO, TX — The fentanyl crisis at the Texas/Mexico border continues as just this year an 800% increase in seizures occurred in the first four months of 2021 than the last four years combined. This may be a crisis increasing a few hundred miles away but that doesn't mean it can't make its way to us, here in Central Texas. "We're right between Austin and Dallas so that just makes us a melting pot of all kinds of stuff," Waco PD PIO Officer Garen Bynum said. I-35 is a drug trafficking corridor that runs right through Waco, so it's easy for drugs to come from Mexico. Regarding fentanyl, there is no crisi

Here are five of the most common symptoms: 1. Cholesterol Imbalances: A growing body of evidence has shown that inflammation triggers increased production of cholesterol. The body attempts to use this waxy substance to protect the lining of blood vessels and arteries from damage, often leading to harmful levels of build-up. [12] 2. Elevated CRP Levels: The data linking high levels of CRP to increased heart risk has led a growing number of physicians to routinely run a test for cardiac-specific C-reactive protein. If your doctor has told you that your CRP levels are high, it's an indication that inflammation is present in your blood vessels. [4,5] 3. M

  At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favorite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her. The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter "written" by the doll saying "please don't cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures." Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka's life. During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable. Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin. "It doesn't look like my doll at all," said the girl. Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me.&q
