Researchers from the University of Surrey in the UK ran an experiment involving 36 volunteers aged 60 or over, testing their response to two-hour-long sessions of blue and regular white light twice a day over several weeks. They have discovered that a morning dose of blue light might help older people sleep better in the evening, giving them a boost for their daily activities the following day. @ScienceAlert reports:

Hey, folks! I’m looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join my team (API Core) at #Mailchimp.

We are stewards of our public #APIs, and we collaborate with other capabilities teams to ensure APIs are developed according to our standards and processes. You would work directly with me on a daily basis.

Last night I Tooted / Posted that I had Shingles and Influenza shots that morning, and felt woozy.
Managed to sleep overnight in only 3 stages (thank you water pill), and woke up at 05:57.
I had originally set my alarm for 05:00 to be at the church building at 06:00 for my hour of prayer. Obviously that's not happening, but I shall set aside time today to pray.
Other than running 2 weeks worth of laundry, the only other work I plan for today is for MissionAssist.
Otherwise I am totally resting up all day.
Take care of yourselves y'all.

Today is a study of contrasts. #TheDisciplesWay is reflecting on #disruption (Mark 11:15-18a) while #ForwardDaybyDay reflects on #rest & the Sabbath (Hebrews 4:8). There are so many things in the world today that distract us from our #faith & the #WayofLove It’s easy to lose sight of what we are called to do & be by God. Both of these reflections remind us that we regularly need take a step back, to rest & refocus our attention on God. It sounds simple. Sometimes it is. Often, however, resting is complicated as we navigate the many things (jobs, family, media, etc.) vying for our attention. Stepping away (a news or social media fast, vacation, just going for a walk) can feel incredibly, frighteningly, overwhelmingly disruptive to our daily lives. And yet, that is what God asks us to do. Importantly, we are told to rest regularly. Perhaps, if we did, it would seem less disruptive…or maybe it would be more disruptive. Today is a study of contrasts. Or is it?

Witch Hazel is the most difficult to draw, of all my cats. My skills will never adequately represent the complexity of her markings.

But look at that face.

She is so clever, so loyal, so clingy!

Slow blinks to you, fedifriends. Rest up and relax and restore. We have much work to do . We need to build strength for the days ahead.
