"To be sure, this time of the year seems to bring out both the best and worst memories – and subsequent feelings. It also exposes both the best and worst in people. Therefore, people are, perhaps, “alive” the most during this period (which is certainly better than the alternative)."
Dear friends,
With Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s Day consuming so much of our time over the next two weeks, I thought it would be great to share an informative, but light, piece with you.
To be sure, this time of the year seems to bring out both the best and worst memories – and subsequent feelings. It also exposes both the best and worst in people. Therefore, people are, perhaps, “alive” the most during this period (which is certainly better than the alternative).
In any case, while food and drink can be healthy panaceas, the piece on the link below that was written by someone who I hold in deep regard, Kimberly Garrison, the fitness columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News (www.philadelphiadailynews.com) brings into mind that we need not disconnect ourselves from reality to have a good time. By the way, Every Thursday, Kim appears in the “Yo! Features” section of the newspaper. Her articles are not your typical run-of-the-mill “Eat your Wheaties” admonitions. Rather, they are always imaginative, super-informative, socially-conscious and well written. Still, as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad would say on these occasions, “Eat ‘til your face falls in the plate!”
Enjoy!
