Raising Your Sites
A human being is a part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and
feelings as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security. — Albert Einstein
Fill Up Your Tank with Appreciation and Commitment

A healthy balanced breakfast that took just 10 minutes.

Today this was one of my snacks, 25 nuts equal one serving, 160 calories, 14g fat, 210mg potassium, 3g fiber, and 6g protein. I had 2 servings, or about 50 almonds.
Top Twenty Fiber Foods
Dietary fiber, sometimes called roughage, is the indigestible portion of plant foods which has two main components:
• soluble (pre-biotic, viscous) fiber that is readily fermented in the colon into gases and physiologically active by-products, and
• metabolically inert insoluble fiber which absorbs water throughout the digestive system and eases defecation.
