Feed the Orphans

While raising my daughters I was introduced to the term "endorphins". 

Here is Wikipedia's definition:

Endorphins ("endogenous morphine") are endogenous opioid peptides that function as neurotransmitters.^[1] They are produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus in vertebrates during exercise,^[2] excitement, pain, consumption of spicy food, love and orgasm,^[3][4] and they resemble the opiates in their abilities to produce analgesia and a feeling of well-being.

I learned we all need to make a daily habit of doing those things that create a feeling of well-being.   We need to feed our endorphins.

I some how managed to morph endorphins to Orphans and from there the regular directive for us all became, "Make sure you feed the Orphans".

I still tell my girls - "feed the Orphans" and I remind myself I need to do the same.

Let's take care of ourselves!

The start of a new week...

This week will be a good one. I am going to work less, walk more, eat better and sleep later.  I am going to explore my new hobby!  Excited to get started but not sure where to begin.
