Select a Thought

The words of ‘Each Day Brings a Chance to do Better’ is wonderful food for thought and contemplation by Helen Steiner Rice. I have written the words of her lovely inspirational verse for you below.

How often we wish for another chance
to make a fresh beginning,
A chance to blot out our mistakes
and change failure into winning –
And it does not take a special time
to make a brand-new start.
It only tales the deep desire
to try with all our heart
To live a little better
and to always be forgiving
And to add a little “sunshine”
to the world in which we’re living –
So never give up in despair
and think that you are through,
For there’s always a tomorrow
and a chance to start anew.

The food we eat really can influence our thoughts. Just as food has an effect on our health and physical well being, it can equally have an impact on our minds and consequently our moods.

Eating the right food can help the body rid itself of many niggling aches and pains. It can help banish tiredness, lethargy, and irritability. Choose fresh natural food to give your brain power a boost, get that feel good factor, and add years to your life. Have you noticed how people who live to an extraordinary old age are always happy and serene?

It often puzzles me that some folk still prefer white bread over brown, as brown wholewheat bread contains so may of the vitamins and minerals the body needs. The same goes for sugar, did you know that sugar can be used as a pesticide? If you really can’t live without sugar try brown sugar or better still, plump for the natural goodness of honey.

Whenever possible choose natural foods and try to avoid processed foods. How pure is the water you drink? Do you use a water filter? We aren’t all fortunate enough to live near a sparkling fresh water stream, but have you tried drinking pure rain water?.. It’s sent straight from heaven you know.

Don’t forget, your body needs around eight to ten glasses a day, don’t deprive yourself of one of nature’s most precious gifts.
