I have an eco-friendly tip for you. You can create a natural rain garden with any low area that has some standing water in it after a heavy rainfall. A rain garden is a sunken area in the land that collects rainwater either from a driveway, roof, or street, and soaks it into the ground. This allows the water to be filtered naturally and it in turn helps buffer ponds, rivers, lakes, streams, and shorelines. If you don’t have any natural low areas, you can dig out soil extending 15 centimeters deep. Make sure you gradually descend from the outside edges to the center where it needs to be the deepest. Next, select garden plants that enjoy wet regions like native ones from boggy habitats.
It seems like the joke of the day is already at the door, so we’d better let it in. This one’s called, “Just in Case.”
A husband tasted the food on his plate, then turned to his wife and asked.
“What is the name of this dish that you cooked for me?”
“Why are you so concerned about the name of the dish today?”
“Well, I was just thinking, the doctor might ask that question later!”

And now we have a heartline from Nour in Syria:
My spiritual Master, let Your soul fill my body cells and be the breath I take
My spiritual Master, be my steps and the wisdom I seek, be my patience in adversity and my strength in different circumstances
My spiritual Master, be my sight, foresight, hearing and speech
My spiritual Master, let us be together in all times and spaces, every minute, moment and decision
Even when I sleep, I will never forget that You are with me at all times
My spiritual Master, be in every thought, sound and scene
You are leading me to the Home that I always looked for along the ages, fighting myself and taking turns winning… Until Your breeze touched my face and Your arms immersed my soul…
I prostrate to You with gratefulness and gratitude because You take me Home safe
I pray so all creatures can bathe in Your Almighty Light and be cleansed of every badness, illness and disease…
All love and appreciation to my spiritual Supreme Master
Master, I saw You in my dreams wearing golden shining clothes, and You took me on a fast journey to amazing places that made my heart very light. It was like I got a new soul and clothes.
Yours, Nour from Syria
Delightful Nour, We are thankful to read your beautiful words.
