May 21 seems to recognize many notable activities–something for anyone! Along with World Meditation Day, it’s National Strawberries and Cream Day. National Talk Like Yoda Day. National Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day. International Tea Day. I Need A Patch For That Day. National Memo Day. Rapture Party Day. National Waitstaff Day.

Stones left to right: white howlite for calmness, comfort, and mind relaxation; green aventurine for comfort, harmony, and compassion; carnelian for courage, endurance, and motivation; tiger’s eye for focus, courage, and empowerment; red jasper for stamina, spiritual grounding, and strength; snowflake obsidian for balance during changes, purification, and fulfillment; blue aventurine for balancing, healing, and communication.

How’d you get so big eating fruit of this kind!
Control, control, you must learn control!
