The Body Keeps the Time!
You can’t hear it go “tick tock,” but scientists have found that your body has its own internal clock. Based on internal rhythms of light, hormones, and eating, your body is pretty good at settling into a roughly 24-hour cycle of wakefulness and sleep, even without clocks.
Good Reads!
A recent cartoon in the New Yorker magazine says it all: At the top of the drawing is the label “The Complete Book of Caregiving.” and below it is a drawing of an open book. But the book only has one page, and on that page are written the words: “Too tired to write it”. It’s very funny, and of course very true.
Time to Get Organized!
The hot “dog days” of summer is a good time to relax, find a little breathing room, and enjoy the slower the pace of activities. It can also be a perfect time for some organizing.
