Here you end and there I start

Today’s Shot 106
Honey
Her familiar face –
Moving closer, became new.
Hello, and well met.
I recognized Honey from a distance, but up close – through a picture – I felt like I’d met someone completely new in the wildwood. She was not sown by any human plan, yet she rose up and found her own way.

A Merry Lass
Eyes upon the sky,
I almost missed her surprise.
Beckoning, she stood.

It was a green whim

Golden Trumpets
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee
If they were to raise their voices… what song would they play?
Can you hear them? I think it would be beyond anything words could ever say.
Indescribable.

Mindful Moment
Ripples … Finding Sanctuary in the Moment
Georgia Swamplands
This place doesn’t mind being forgot.
It cares not.
Time moves forward here without being pushed. It’s the natural way to move so subtle and slow.
Letting it flow.
No greeding or hoarding of supplies to survive. Without thought…
It lives to thrive.
No wonder we step away to remember again, there’s more to us than the rush and the fuss.
A space to contemplate, instead of cuss.
Leave it all in this moment we find. Then rejoin your life,
With a clearer mind.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) – A Powerful Immune Booster
ALA is a vitamin-like chemical (naturally occurring fatty acid) known as an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect our cells from damaging free-radical cells which are caused by such things as environmental toxins, aging, inflammation and stress.
While our bodies naturally make a small amount of ALA – which helps turn glucose into energy (thereby helping with diabetes), it can also be found in vegetables such as spinach, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, beets, broccoli, peas, carrots, tomatoes, and in foods such as brewers yeast, potatoes, and organ meats like liver and kidney.
As we age, our bodies make less of this antioxidant, and so supplementing can be very beneficial. It is easily absorbed and is water soluble.
One of the most powerful antioxidants in our body is called glutathione and ALA helps boost this protective antioxidant as well.
