Part II: From My Red Chair (David C. Russell, Mellow Rock)

Hello Grafted In Readers,


Today is Monday, June 9, 2025 in my corner of blog land. The school year ends later this week for students K/12 in my corner of blog land..

We are spending a few posts focused on mental health observations, and also sharing progress and snippets from my forthcoming title, From My Red Chair.

This is a self-anthology of five short stories with the indirect theme of mental health issues facing story characters.


Today, we are going to scratch the surface on the following:


The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) suggests several tips for improving mental health, including prioritizing sleep, engaging in physical activity, and maintaining a healthy diet. 


Note: According to the Governmental Agency, Center for Disease Control, 43% of us are overweight in North America, and 67% (two-thirds) of us in North America are on the obesity continuum. We eat a lot and often.


As to sleep, the NIMH cites favorable stats. we're doing pretty good overall! North American adults sleep an average of 6.8 hours per day, and the recommendation is seven hours sleep daily.


My biggest challenge is the bedtime snack: faves are corregated chips or popped corn.

What is one of your comfort food faves? Do comment please!


Until next visit around (June 13) God bless and keep us.


Mellow Rock
