Solving puzzles and playing word games brings inner peace
Over the years I have enjoyed working on crossword puzzles and doing word searches. I’ve also found peace and contentment by playing Solitaire on my phone. I have noticed during the past few years that such activities help me focus and gives me a sense of inner peace. I have also taken notice that when I check my blood pressure after such activities that it is always significantly lower than before. I love choosing a word and then trying to find as many other words from the letters as possible. For example, I will use the word Christmas.

History of Juneteenth. Top Story - June 2021.
June Nineteenth, or Juneteenth, marks the celebration of the emancipation of African-American slaves in Texas in 1865. While the annual celebration started in Texas the following year in 1866 — and became an official Texas state holiday there in 1980 — this formerly obscure holiday is now observed across the United States and around the world. Yesterday, Congress and the President made it an official federal holiday. It is celebrated with church-centered celebrations, parades, fairs, backyard parties, games, contests, and cookouts.

A Journey from a Production Plotter to a Famous Artist
Betty Woodman was a ceramic craftsman most popular for her extravagantly vivid and innovative work which acquired acknowledgment in the mid-1970s. She frequently worked with a deconstructed adaptation of the conventional artistic vessel, with her pieces going from huge site-explicit wall paintings to fragmentary segments and rug like floor pieces. "It bodes well to utilize mud for pots, containers, pitchers, and platters, however I like to have things the two different ways," the craftsman clarified. "I make things that could be useful, yet I truly need them to be viewed as show-stoppers." In its utilization of shading and example, Woodman's initial work can be viewed as a response to the overwhelmingly sober Minimalist and Conceptual stylish pervasive at that point. Brought into the world on May 14, 1930, in Norwalk, CT, she considered craftsmanship at Alfred University and was outstandingly the mother of the commended late picture taker Francesca Woodman. Betty Woodman's works can be found in the assortments of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, among others.

The covers of these records looked something like this:

What If You Don't Fit Into That Box?
The world tells you that it’s one big cubicle and that there is a box for you that you must fit into, if you don’t want to be chewed up and ruthlessly spat out. It tells you that it’s just safer for you, and that there is no room for anybody in this universe if they can’t fit into its exact dimensions or designs. So, you spend your entire life suppressing the fact that you just cannot fit into any sort of box. And then, as you begin to convince yourself that something might be wide off the mark with you, you begin changing and adapting bit by bit so that you can fit in, because you must, just like everyone else does. Just like every other person you meet, you realize how desperate they too are, to fit into a box that was once given to them.

Time and Its Consequences
My purpose has always been to challenge our perceptions of reality, because our perceptions determine how we react to it. But first, let's define the purpose of this article. The purpose is not to propose a new philosophical discussion or an alternative scientific explanation of time. We shall, however, draw on pertinent scientific theories and philosophies because they are distinct insights that may help us establish a new view on time. Hopefully, a more practical and helpful knowledge of time emerges.
