Sometimes in life….
We encounter a rude , smart mouth, bully.
Sometimes …..
We can choose to reciprocate or we can choose to remain calm.

Don’t let someone else change you! Don’t let that kind of behavior change who you should be.

The saddest thing a person could do is let it change them into who they themselves despise.

Poem

Gifted a Thousand Stars by MwsR

You act as if you were given a thousand stars, with which to call your own

As if the stars did not know where they themselves belonged

If mere mortals were the rulers of the stars

We all would have no battle scars

We’d have no need to fight

I know this to be the case, check to see if it is true, you might

You are same as I and yet you lack common sense.

You always think to be great, more money must be spent.

Not true, you see, it is a scam

I am just shocked, I am

Your breath comes and goes just like all of us

Yet you believe that the stars you were to be entrust.

The only shine that I see when looking at all of you,

Is your ego and your pompous attitude.

Gifted a thousand stars, perhaps, in your own dreams

This however, is the real world and things aren’t how they seem.

I hope you figure it all out before it is too late

Before your get served, whatever you dished out, onto someone’s plate.

MwsR Writings

Often times, we may stumble as what to say to another person, who is feeling down. Perhaps, we should just lend a listening ear, instead of all the smothering concerns that lead us to visit un-announced or at the wrong time. Being persistent in asking our sympathetic questions can agitate the person’s situations more than helping them, often times.

Sometimes, people just need to know there is someone out there who is quick to listen to their thoughts, concerns, and needs. Don’t struggle in what to do or say. Just be that ear that they need.

There sometimes can be no concern greater shown than that of a listening ear.

Did You Know?~Wine

Hello Pesticides

Most vineyards are sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to protect their crops from insects and infection. These chemicals get in the soil, the grapes, and ultimately in the wine you drink. Grapes are near the top of the “Dirty Dozen” foods sprayed with the most chemicals. You avoid these chemicals in your food (that’s why you shop for organic produce) and you should avoid them in your wine.

And unlike other fruits, which have a protective rind you don’t eat… grapes have a thin and porous skin. That means they absorb the chemicals sprayed on them. And because wine is concentrated from so many grapes (600-800 per bottle) – the end result is a condensed source of harmful cancer-promoting chemical compounds.

Dump in the Additives

In the US, wine producers can use 76 different additives in wine without disclosing any of them on the bottle. Things like:

  • defoaming agents
  • artificial coloring (virtually every red wine under $20 has the colorant “mega purple”)
  • extra sugar
  • high fructose corn syrup
  • ammonia
  • GMO bacteria and yeasts
  • Fining and Clarifying Agents like fish bladder, casein or polyvinyl-polpyr-rolidone (PVPP)
  • sulfites
  • and a lot more

There’s one additive called Velcorin that’s particularly insane. It must be applied by people with special training while wearing hazmat suits. It’s so toxic it will burn your skin if you touch it and will kill you if consumed before it’s broken down in the wine. But even after it breaks down, I’d rather not put that in my body…

What’s even worse than learning about all these additives used in winemaking is realizing that there is no labeling or transparency about their use. Wine has no ingredients label.

A wine can have 76 additives and you would have no idea!

Why do we passionately read the label for all foods we buy and only purchase items with organic, clean ingredients, and yet we don’t pay any attention to what’s in our wine?!

The Rise of Alcohol

The American Association of Wine Economists tested the alcohol levels of tens of thousands of wines between 1992 and 2009. They saw a surprising trend. Alcohol levels jumped from an average of 12.7% in 1992 to 13.8% in 2009. Today, it’s over 14%.

In fact, it is not uncommon to see 17%+ in commercial wines.

Remember – Alcohol is TOXIC!

While many of us still enjoy drinking alcohol, dosage matters.

Studies have consistently shown that alcohol consumption is highly dose-dependent – in lower doses, research shows many positive benefits; in excess, it’s harmful. A recent report in the journal, Nature, once again highlighted this. It’s crucial to drink lower alcohol wines.

As much sugar as a coke can?

A bottle of wine can have a surprising amount of sugar in it. Again, there’s no nutrition label on the bottle so you have no idea. Even red wines have higher sugar levels than you think. You won’t always taste it because the underlying acidity and tannins hide the sweeter notes.

If you’re trying to avoid sugar in your diet, you are likely still drinking sugar in your wine.

Super sweet wines can be as high as 300 g/L of sugar. A can of coke has 108g. To follow a healthy lifestyle, you should avoid both.





Poem

Mind and Soul’s Release..by MwsR

For today breathe a little
Take time, your heart can be brittle
Unkind words will soon fade
Just like our bodies often cast a shade
Things worth it are many
They won’t be announced like in the Grammys
Nice thoughts are like pillows for your heart
Doesn’t matter if you don’t make the first start
Patience will come to you
Just in time, it will ensue
Helping you to heal…
To feel
Making realizations forefront in your mind
Directing you like a stick does for the blind
In time you will grow
If not by making errors, maybe in your heart it will show.
Fly with problems, as well as in peace
It’s your mind and your soul’s release.
