A Story of Priorities and a Jar...
The following story is one that’s been circulating for awhile. We believe it holds a very important message regarding appropriately setting priorities in our lives.
A professor of philosophy stood before his class with some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks about two inches in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was full.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly and watched as the pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks. The professor then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They chuckled and agreed that it was indeed full this time.
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. The sand filled the remaining open areas of the jar. “Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar signifies your life. The rocks are the truly important things, such as family, health and relationships. If all else was lost and only the rocks remained, your life would still be meaningful. The pebbles are the other things that matter in your life, such as work or school. The sand signifies the remaining “small stuff” and material possessions.
If you put sand into the jar first, there is no room for the rocks or the pebbles. The same can be applied to your lives. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are truly important.
Pay attention to the things in life that are critical to your happiness and well-being. Take time for wellness, get out doors, reconnect with old friends (which they say are your golden friends) go for a run, write your grandmother a letter. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, or fix the disposal. Take care of the rocks first – things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just pebbles and sand.
Finding time in the day for fitness is considered a “rock” for us all.

A wise teacher once brought balloons to school, told her pupils to blow them up and write their name on one. After the children tossed their balloons into the hall, the teacher moved through the hall mixing them all up.
The kids were given five minutes to find the balloon with their name on it, but though they searched frantically, no one found their own balloon.
Then the teacher told them to take the balloon closest to them and give it to the person whose name was on it. In less than two minutes, everyone was holding their own balloon.
The teacher said to the children, “These balloons are like happiness. We won't find it when we're only searching for our own. But if we care about someone else's happiness...it will ultimately help us find our own.”

Did you ever stand in produce aisle and look at fennel and say "now what do you make with that"?
We love sliced fennel in orange sauce. This can be eating along for a light meal to give your digestion a rest or as a side dish. Try it - let us know how you like it. It's so yummy!
Ingredients:
Serves 2
1 lg fennel
Sauce:
2 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 teaspoon fennel fronds, chopped
Trim the base of the fennel. Remove the top stalks (with the fronds).
Hold the fennel in your hand and start slicing thin slices as seen in video.
Place in a 2-qrt mixing bowl and set aside.
Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients in a small, non-metallic bowl. Pour over the sliced fennel and gently toss. Transfer to a 10-inch fry pan and cook over medium-low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat when the fennel is tender, but has a slight crunch in the middle.
Sprinkle the fronds on top and serve.
Enjoy!
