Not a very good morning today. Chores.

marguicha @marguicha (222974) • Chile 13 Nov

I´m glad that Anita came today. I have not been feeling good. I think that my pressure dropped. Anyway, I will buy a devise to check my BP. Low BP can be as dangerous as a high one. I had breakfast with Anita and came back to my...

Macy I haven't had decent sleep since my kids, husband and I got sick. It all started in early October, so it's been a month of getting patches of sleep. I'm surprised that I'm still able to get by and do my usual chores. I take a lot of naps during the day though...

Greenery8 @grenery8 (10592) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 14 Nov

Is poetry still having a place in this digital era?

Anish Asokan @RevivedWarrior (2209) • India 14 Nov

While we were in school or college, we used to read and learn poetry. It is unique way of human expression with carefully chosen words, rhythm and creativity. Poetry has the power to convey to convey emotions, thoughts or even...

Macy You could be right. I miss those times when we would just read the lines slowly and meditate on them. Poetry makes us slow down. People are so soaked in social media and live online discussions now, that we barely notice the wisdom and beauty of poetry in our...

Macy There must be some truth to the saying that "less is more." I also like small cups and mugs, especially for my tea. I don't believe in indulging in large portions, especially when it comes to drinks or food.

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160663) • United States 14 Nov

Macy Wow, Amyra is a fighter! My niece in San Jose was also born 5 months premature and stayed in the hospital for about 3 or 4 months. Now, she's 17 - smart, pretty and healthy. Just like Amyra, she is a fighter and a miracle baby!

Anish Asokan @RevivedWarrior (2209) • India 5 Nov
