Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

More Vs Less

Ate less today –
felt stronger
and healthier

worked smarter – 
while doing less seeming
to accomplish more

ignored many shallow
acquaintances...giving extra
time for deeper more meaningful
relationship with a carefully
chosen few

reaffirming to my mind
that only Love
needs no compromising....

Mystic Rose Rose July 1, 2023 at 9:36 AM wow ! this is a keeper Joe, wish everyone would weed out the crowd like this, I am getting older and as my energy dwindles, I aspire to this more and more in my life :) Joseph P. DiMino July 5, 2023 at 7:28 AM Hi Vie; simplify! I agree. I hate wasting time, the older I get realizing how fleeting precious time is. Blessings my friend.

Valsa George June 29, 2023 at 8:13 PM On many other things we can compromise, but with love no compromise is allowed. When we leave aside cumbersome little activities, mostly unwanted and focus on few important people and pursuits, there would be more satisfying relationships and better outcome. So wisely put, dear Joe Joseph P. DiMino June 30, 2023 at 5:41 AM Everything else in life, requires thoughtful balance, but one can never give nor receive too much love. Thank you, Valsa. Blessings!

Joseph P. DiMino June 29, 2023 at 1:05 PM Hi Vijay; ain't that the truth. Quality over quantity. We only need be popular with God ultimately. Blessings my friend.

Anne-Lise Andresen June 29, 2023 at 11:26 AM - I have never been concerned about my weight or a lot of food ... I am not thin and not fat ... eat sensibly ... use your feet ... every day out in nature ... drink water ... this is my advice... have a lovely day, Joe :) - hugs Joseph P. DiMino June 29, 2023 at 12:59 PM Sound advice -- stop eating when tummy is comfortable, and plenty of fluids and exercise -- I eat a lot of watermelon during the summer months. Of course, I am in Arizona, where 110 plus in July and August is the norm. Have a beautiful day Anne. Blessings.

Victor Buhagiar June 29, 2023 at 8:42 AM Eating wholesome but not in great amounts s ideal and makes you stronger. Good advice Joe. I'm doing the same. Joseph P. DiMino June 29, 2023 at 9:51 AM Eating is necessary, but most of us probably eat twice what is needed for health, overloading our systems. Too much is no better than junk food. It can be deadly. No doctor~just my opinion for the little it may be worth.
