Your body is the agent through which your life is lived (and through which all of your Good Deeds are performed), and as such it must be actively cared for in order to make your life potent and thereby meaning-full.  With this in mind you might be tempted to pamper your “Temple” today – you might be tempted to shower a bit longer than usual &/or eat lots of raw fruits & vegetables throughout the day (and absolutely no animal flesh or secretions) … You might be tempted to drink lots of spring water and absolutely no alcohol or make an appointment for a full-body massage (or even a simple shoulder-rub from a friend) … Later this evening you might be tempted to spend some “quality time” alone in peace while listening to your favorite music, (while being kind to your mind by turning off the TV) … And yet these practices, while all healthy to varying degrees, are not ways in which you can truly CARE for your Temple – seeing as how your Temple can only be truly Cared for while it is being used to Care for others.

Bonus Activity:  Today, enable a friend or an associate (or, much more powerfully, an “enemy”) to anonymously receive some of the pampering mentioned above.
