December Quotes
“While snow the window-panes bedim,
The fire curls up a sunny charm,
Where, creaming o’er the pitcher’s rim,
The flowering ale is set to warm;
Mirth, full of joy as summer bees,
Sits there, its pleasures to impart,
And children, ‘tween their parent’s knees,
Sing scraps of carols o’er by heart.”
John Clare, December

Treehugger: What’s the Difference Between Shrimp and Prawns?
You can tell these crustaceans apart by a few key physical characteristics.
The question usually arises in a kitchen or restaurant: Is there a difference between shrimp and prawns? Are they the same?
In fact, these decapods—crustaceans with ten feet—belong to different suborders and can be further classified by their species.

There are lots of collections of stars in the night sky that can form the shape of a triangle. The giant Summer Triangle is one, and the Triangulum Australe in the Southern Hemisphere is another. Triangulum the Triangle is a constellation in northern skies that you can best spot in late autumn or early winter. It lies to the northeast of the Great Square of Pegasus and below the “W” shape of Cassiopeia.

Inner Journey:
PROCRASTINATION
“Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.”
— Don Marquis
Most of us struggle with procrastination — the ‘I’ll do it later’ syndrome. If this is one of your key time wasters, take time to become more aware of your behaviour.
Identify what you are procrastinating.
Identify why you have not done these things. Seek out your deepest reason.
Is there a fear underlying your reason? There is for most people.
We typically procrastinate because of unclear goals, lack of information and/or skills, fear of moving into new territory, fear of failure or success, feeling overwhelmed, lack of time due to over-commitments, poor timing, and general disorganization.
“Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they started.”
— David Allen
And, just for fun: “The best labor saving device is doing it tomorrow.”
— Source Unknown

Anyone who has walked through the forests of the southeast has encountered Usnea, but you might not have noticed it. You probably didn’t know that the inconspicuous gray-green fuzzy stuff covering many of the trees is one of the gentlest yet strongest immune tonics in the herb world.
