Another Fall FruitWhile pumpkins are plentiful this time of year,

there’s another orange fall fruit, the persimmon. Nativeto Asia, persimmons were introduced to the U.S. in thelate 19th century. The two most common varieties arethe fuyu, which looks like a squat tomato, and thehachiya, which is acorn-shaped. Both can be eatenfresh or cooked into sweet and savory recipes.

Use Your Own PenOne way to reduce your risk of catching contagious

viruses is to carry your own pen. When signing a creditcard receipt or filling out forms at a doctor’s office,avoid using the shared pen that’s provided, since it’slikely handled by many people.

Play With ClayWhether molding simple shapes or creating an

elaborate sculpture, crafting with clay can lift yourmood and increase motivation. Researchers sayceramics is an effective form of art therapy due tothe physical sensation of working the clay andtransforming it into something beautiful.
