Woot Woot @Yoolypr and, of course, everyone else too! Happy New Year and health above all for one and all of us in 2023!!!

Outdated mirror.

This poem is something I frequently reread. Lots of wisdom here about the desired/needed qualities for a good life. It was written in 1927 but is still very relevant today -

@Yoolypr, thank you for posting this! Immediately I hear the man's voice in my head, reading it aloud, from when Desiderata was charting on the radio (strange to think of that now).
And the chorus keeps repeating in my mind:
"You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the birds
You have a right to be here.
And whether or not
It is clear to you
No doubt the universe is unfolding, as it should!"
What comfort there is in that, what wisdom in this poem 🥰

Don’t know what eggs cost in your area but they’re obscenely expensive here!

Here eggs are about $4 to $5 or more per dozen. The excuse is that poultry farmers slaughtered thousands of chickens due to rampant bird flu. We’re told it will ease up once the next generation of chickens matures. However in my experience, prices rarely go down to where they were. Might moderate some but never all the way back because people just get used to the new prices and there’s no incentive on the part of the farmers/distributors/groceries to sell for less.

So we’re having freezing rain for the next three days..... Texas is just not equipped for this. So everything is shutting down until Thursday.

Hubby is crowing like the proud rooster 🐓 that he is! Soup 🍲for the ❄️ days ahead.

YES! There is no quick fix. But maybe it really is a "diet" - our new life long diet - as in the primary definition of the word:

1. the customary amount and kind of food and drink taken by a person from day to day.

Love it!!!
