Good morning my DU family,

[JMCKUSICK]

If we can do one thing today that really matters, let us help someone overcome fear, knowing how debilitating it can be.
Have a deep, personally meaningful day.
Love, John

1. That's a good thought, fear can be paralyzing I know

4 AM and I can’t sleep either. Good morning, saw my hummingbirds yesterday at my feeder so I feel a little better. I will mix up some fresh sugar water as soon as it gets daylight. Gives me purpose.

4. Try this?

I'd found this trying to help another friend struggling with anxiety, then found myself unable to sleep due to caffeine too late in the day. So, I thought, what the heck - give it a try...

This is magical. I don't know what else to call it. 😊

7. Knocked my ass out quickly.

Hope it does same for you.

8. Than you Walleye,

Hummingbirds are like a popsicle on a really hot day. Absolutely delightful!

3. Gm, John & All

What a lovely thought, John. Fear can be so crippling...

10. Good morning SheltieLover,

You are so right. 'm still trying to find my way almost 6 decades into life.

14. Precisely why FDR said we only have to fear fear itself

Very crippling emotion & magats feed off of fear energy.

11. Good morning Emile,

If this was WWE wrestling, we would be tag team world champions. You are so careful in your selections each morning so that both posts speak the same general language. Your thoughtfulness is so endearing.

12. Good morning, John!

13. Hi Scrivener7

[wordstroken]

15. Good afternoon, John.

Love this morning’s theme and all the conversations that follow — especially the part about hummingbirds and popsicles!!

[JMCKUSICK]

17. Thank you wordstroken,

I happen to be on a real fruit popsicle binge since my heart surgery. (No sugar added of course.)

[wordstroken]

18. Hahaha! Me, too. And Apollo. Seriously, the two of us have been on a homemade ice cream popsicle binge.

For the last several weeks, I’ve been blending Icelandic Skyr* with organic fruit — like strawberries, bananas, oranges, etc. Also tried mixing it with coffee extract and/or dark organic chocolate. No sugar needed.

Both Apollo and my fave is Creamsicle (just like the old-fashioned ones of long ago), using peeled organic oranges, including the pulp, and blending to a liquid, then mixing with Skyr. Churn in ice cream maker and pour into popsicle molds. Super good and super healthy. Did I mention I’m a health nut?

Ajax is not interested in the creamsicles. He’s more of a meat and meat kinda guy.

If you want, I’ll post the exact recipe.

*Skyr is delicious and super-nutritious type of Greek yogurt, but with lower fat, higher protein, higher calcium, milder, taste, thicker and creamier texture. Available in the yogurt aisle of grocery. Google “health benefits of Skyr compared to Greek yogurt” to see nutrition details.
