April 14 poem
The Humming-Bird by Emily Dickinson
A route of evanescence
With a revolving wheel;
A resonance of emerald,
A rush of cochineal;
And every blossom on the bush
Adjusts its tumbled head, ?
The mail from Tunis, probably,
An easy morning's ride.1 -
What's a snack stack @BodyTalking ?

I completed my third weekly 36 hour fast this weekend. It has gone well, and I have been able to function normally activity wise, completed a 30 mile bike ride and worked in the yard for about 4 hours on Saturday, and did not feel any more fatigued than I normally would. I believe that I am going to make it a habit on any of the weekends that we are home.

Wow! @Interbeing ! That fast is really impressive, and your ability to stay very active without serious fatigue is amazing! You get extra points for bravery!

April 15 poem
Oh, Hope! thou soother sweet of human woes
by Charlotte SmithOh, Hope! thou soother sweet of human woes!
How shall I lure thee to my haunts forlorn!
For me wilt thou renew the withered rose,
And clear my painful path of pointed thorn?
Ah come, sweet nymph! in smiles and softness drest,
Like the young hours that lead the tender year
Enchantress come! and charm my cares to rest:
Alas! the flatterer flies, and will not hear!
A prey to fear, anxiety, and pain,
Must I a sad existence still deplore?
Lo! the flowers fade, but all the thorns remain,
‘For me the vernal garland blooms no more.’
Come then, ‘pale Misery’s love!’ be thou my cure,
And I will bless thee, who though slow art sure.1 -

well done! Hard to believe we are mid way thru the month already. I find that being active before a meal tends to curb my hunger for some reason.
My extra dental care is progressing nicely. It's really very easy and not much extra time involved but I feel like my gums are very appreciative and hopefully my hygienist will be also. Alto I think i am going to switch dentists this summer. I had been going to a new one for a few years recommended by my retired dentist but then this one is all but retired also and his office is very pricy. I was only going there really for him so now I can find a few more recommended to me that are closer and hopefully less over what my insurance covers.
