  Mars has two small moons called Phobos and Deimos that are irregularly shaped. Fiction writer Johnathan Swift wrote about these moons ( Gulliver's Travel) 150 years before they were discovered.  The Kingdom of Kush. This African Empire flourished between 1069 BCE and 350 CE. It controlled a large part of the Nile river now called Southern Sudan. It operated a lucrative trade in ivory, iron and gold. It was a trading partner and a rival to Egypt in the North. In the 8th century the Kushites conquered Egypt establishing the 25th Egyptian Dynasty and ruled Egypt for over a century. The legacy of the Kushite capital house remnants of over 200 pyramids - more than all of Egypt.  If you sleep in a rom at 66 degrees temperature for one month, this can aid in your fat burning plan as much as 10%.  The world's largest pyramid is in Cholula, Puebla , Mexico- with a base four times the size of the Great Pyramids of Giza.
 A guy was late for an important meeting. But he can't find a place to park.
In desperation, he begins to pray: "Please Lord, if you help me find a parking stall right now, I promise to go to church and never drink vodka again." A moment later, he sees a beautiful empty spot right next to the entrance. "Never mind , found one."  Omicron Subvariant BA.5 Is this the next COVID Threat?  As frustrating as it it, viruses mutate. This is a word most of us we would like to eliminate from our vocabulary -mute- hell no! Just when we thought we were through with Covid-19 or at least live with a few cases popping up here and there we now hear about Omicron and then a subvariant and another subvariant.
Discovered in India in June this year, Omicron BA.5 has been reported to be affecting people in 15 countries , including the US. and in seven states so far. How serious is Omicron BA.5? The World Health Organization (WHO), says it is watching the variant closely. Some infectious disease experts say, there's no cause for alarm - yet. Editor -in-chief of Medscape, Eric Topol seems to feel that "Any worry about this variant is misplaced, at least as this juncture." "I wouldn't panic yet," says Rajendram Rajnarayanan, PHD, and assistant dean of research and professor at Arkansas State University. Let's wait to see what's the next medical report would be on this variant.  1 " It's your reaction to adversity, not adversity itself that determines how your life story will develop." Dieter .F. Uchtdorf.
2. " Their is no time for ease and comfort. It's time to dare and endure." Winston Churchill 3. " It's our attitude to events itself. Not the events themselves, which we can control. Nothing is by itself calamitous - even death is terrible only if we fear it." Epictetus. 4. " Someone I once loved gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift." Mary Oliver.  Summer, the season of budding and blooming flowers. We just hoping that this spirit will help to lighten all of our hearts. One way in which we can do that is to look around us and see the thousand of things we can be thankful for.
We're alive -breathing and can smile, say a kind word to more people. Forgive the hurts. Move on and let the spirit of summer brighten our lives. No one can stay in a perennial state of laughter and high spirits. Challenges come and rock us or even knock us off our feet sometimes. But, in the midst of this, we can strive to still shine after we would have recovered from the jolt. Love always, from us at SEASONS MAGAZINE. Cheers!  Turkish Bath (1862)

Vision Of Love Treated me kind Sweet destiny Carried me through desperation To the one that was waiting for me It took so long Still I believed Somehow the one that I needed Would find me eventually I had a vision of love And it was all that you've given to me Prayed through the night Felt so alone Suffered from alienation Carried the weight on my own Had to be strong So I believed And now I know I've succeeded In finding the place I conceived I had a vision of love And it was all that you've given to me I had a vision of love And it was all that you've given to me. I've realized a dream And I visualize The love that came to be Feel so alive I'm thankful that I've received The answer that heaven has sent down to me You treated me kind (yeah) Sweet destiny(and you know that you did) And I'll be eternally grateful Holding you so close to me(prayed through the night) Prayed through the night(so faithfully) So faithfully Knowing the one that I needed Would find me eventually I had a vision of love And it was all that you've given to me I had a vision of love And it was all that you turned out to be.
