The man doesn't know that there is a snake underneath.
The woman doesn't know that there is a stone crushing the man...

The woman thinks,
“I'm going to fall! and I can't climb because the snake is going to bite me! Why can't the man use a little more strength and pull me up!"

The man thinks,
“I am in so much pain! Yet I'm still pulling you as much as I can! why don't you try to climb a little harder?!"

The moral is: You can't see the pressure the other person is under, and the other person can't see pain that you're in.

This is life, no matter whether it's with work, family, feelings or friends we should try to understand each other.

Learn to think differently, perhaps more clearly and communicate better.

A little thought and patience goes a long way.

Less than 2 percent of Americans achieve even the recommended minimum intake of potassium, due primarily to inadequate intake of plant foods. We need 4,700 mg of potassium a day.

Here are the amounts of potassium found in different plant foods:
1 cup cooked lentils = 731 mg
1 cup cooked black beans = 611 mg
1 cup cubed butternut squash = 582 mg
1 medium sweet potato (with the skin) = 542 mg
1 cup cubed cantaloupe = 427 mg
1 medium banana = 422 mg
1 medium sweet potato (without the skin) = 347 mg
1 cup chopped zucchini = 324 mg
1 cup cooked quinoa = 318 mg
1 cup raw broccoli = 288 mg
2 cups raw collards = 153.4 mg
2 cups raw kale = 145.2 mg

Greens are rich in nitrates and a good source of potassium, so they give us a double whammy of nutrition and are worthy of spotlighting. Nitrates from green leafy veggies are converted to nitric oxide in the body, and potassium increases nitric oxide release. Including high-nitrate vegetables and potassium can help lower our blood pressure and improve our arterial function.

Have you ever burned your fingers on a hot glue gun? How about while gluing hundreds of cotton balls to a sweatshirt? While a crabby toddler clings to your leg?

" Grandma, how do you deal with pain?"

" With your hands, dear. When you do it with your mind, the pain hardens even more."

“With your hands, Grandma?"

" Yes, yes. Our hands are the antennas of our soul. When you move them by sewing, cooking, painting, touching the earth or sinking it into the earth, they send signals of caring to the deepest part of you and your soul calms down.This way she doesn't have to send pain anymore to show it."

" Are hands really that important?"

" Yes, my girl. Thinking of babies: they get to know the world thanks to their touches. When you look at the hands of older people, they tell more about their lives than any other part of the body. Everything that is made by hand, so is said, is made with the heart because it really is like this: hands and heart are connected. Masseuses know this: When they touch another person's body with their hands, they create a deep connection. Thinking of lovers: when their hands touch, they love each other in the most sublime way."

" My hands, Grandma... how long haven't I used them like that!"

" Move them my girl, start creating with them and everything in you will move. The pain will not pass away. But it will be the best masterpiece. And it won't hurt anymore. Because you managed to embroider your essence."
