It isn’t the thing you do, dear, It’s the thing you’ve left undone, Which gives you a bit of heartache at the setting sun. The tender word forgotten, the letter you did not write, The flower you might have sent, dear, are your haunting ghosts to-night. The stone you might have lifted out of a brother’s way, a bit of heartsome counsel you were hurried too much to say; The loving touch of the hand, dear, the gentle and winsome tone, that you had no time or thought for, with troubles enough of your own. The little act of kindness so easily out of mind; Those chances to be angels which every mortal finds; They come in night and silence - each chill reproachful wrath - when hope is faint and flagging, and a blight has dropped on faith. For life's all too short, dear, and sorrow is all too great, to suffer our slow compassion, that tarries until too late; And it’s not the thing you do, dear, It’s the thing you leave undone, which gives you the bit of heartache, at the setting of the sun.

SPRING INTO HEALTH Spring doesn’t just have to be about cleaning and reorganizing – it’s also a great way to start healthy
new habits and break the old. Here are a few tips to
get a head start on your spring health! Start an Exercise Routine – The weather is
warm and the days are longer which makes it a perfect combination to get active outside. The American Heart Association recommends that
individuals do moderate exercise for at least 150 minutes per week.
Revamp Your Diet with Fresh Fruits and
Vegetables – Take advantage of the variety of vegetables available during spring. Vegetables
like broccoli, green beans, leafy greens, zucchini, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, and tomatoes are low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins, and
minerals. Try to eat about 3 to 5 servings every day. Fruit is also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. You should try to eat about 2 to 3
servings of fruit each day.
Drink More Water – As the heat kicks into high gear it is harder to stay hydrated and more
important to drink more water. Drink plenty of water before going outside and have plenty
on-hand all day long to stay hydrated.
Check In for a Check Up – Ask your doctor to let you know how often they need to test for high blood pressure, diabetes, other diseases, and
cancer screenings.
Protect Your Skin – Its going to get hot, the sun is shining, and your skin needs protection. Not
only do men and women need to regularly moisturize their skin, but also protect it from the
harsh rays of the sun. If you’re outside, make sure to use a sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher that protects against UVA and UVB rays. It doesn’t hurt to throw on a pair of sunglasses and hat
as well!
came to live here at The
Masonic Home on February 24,
2016, and hails from local St.
Petersburg Lodge No. 139. He
resides in Room 209S, and his
Birthday is May 10th. MD was
born in Spartanburg, South
Carolina. His father was a Sheriff and his mother was a teacher. He
had older siblings - a brother, Sam and a sister, Eloise. He enlisted
in the Navy in 1943 at the age of seventeen. He was involved in
several amphibious operations in the Pacific and Philippines during
WWII. In addition his ship deployed the first occupation troops in
Japan at the war’s end. In 1953 he attended the University of
Tennessee under the GI Bill. He had a double Major in Transporta-
tion and Office Administration. After graduation he received a
commission in the Army Reserves. He became a Mason in 1949,
was a Member of York Rite, and also involved in many fraternal
and civic activities over the years. MD was married for fifty years
to Bernice. They had two children; Manning Jr. and Caroline. He
also has three grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Most of
his professional career consisted mainly in the field of motor freight
transportation until he retired, then he started spending his free time
volunteering. He volunteered at St. Vincent De Paul Soup Kitchen
and at St. Anthony’s Hospital for several years in the Emergency
Room. He enjoyed helping with odd jobs, doing paper work and
transporting patients in wheelchairs. MD was in the Ushers Guild
and President of the Sunday School class at the First Presbyterian
Church. He was also President of his Chapter of The Sons of the
American Revolution here locally for many years. MD was the
President of his Condo Association at Winston Park where he lived
before moving to the Masonic Home on February 24, 2016. He was
also instrumental in starting the first community newsletter for the
association. MD now spends his free time watching TV and is a big
fan of the Wall Street Journal and loves reading the paper every
day. His family visits him often and he also spends a lot of time
with his friend, Sandy. His favorite day is Wednesday, because that
is when we usually serve ice cream, and he loves ice cream! He is a
pure southern gentleman. He is always courteous with a kind hello
and a tip of the hat to the ladies. MD said he feels very fortunate to
be living here at The Masonic Home and he is very grateful to have
so many things in his life to be thankful for, and we are all grateful
to have such a wonderful person here with us! ~Maryanne Mello
SAVOR FOOD SLOWLY: Eating more slowly may be a crucial lifestyle change to help prevent metabolic syndrome. Slow eaters are less likely to gain weight and develop metabolic syndrome. When people eat fast, they tend not to feel full and are more likely to overeat. BE A SMART TV VIEWER: Watch-ing TV itself isn’t likely bad, but we tend to snack and sit still for prolonged periods while watching. TV viewers are nearly twice as likely to develop a dangerous blood clot, compared to people who rarely watch TV. You could walk in place, or do sitting exercises and move around while watching. MAKE IT A DAILY HABIT TO EAT GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES: They are a natural source of nitrates, the raw material for nitric oxide production. Nitric oxide is the molecule that controls blood supply to the heart. Heart disease is a slow process where the arteries become stiff and then, over time, plaque builds up and it ruptures, and that’s a heart attack. The loss of nitric oxide production in the lining of the blood vessels precedes the structural changes and the plaque develop-ment by many years. Beets are also one of the richest food sources of nitric oxide. USE HERBAL MOUTHWASH: Nitric oxide production begins in the mouth, but antibacterial mouthwash kills beneficial oral bacteria that generate about half of our daily nitric oxide. Switch to an herbal mouthwash instead.
