If you had a magical writing journal, what special power would it have and how would you use it?

I want the journal to have the magical power of bringing whatever I write to life. If I conjure up a new type of vehicle, then *poof* here it appears. If I write about me and my family living in a big luxurious house then *poof* here it manifests and suddenly we are now living in luxury. If I write about all my relatives who have passed away still alive and in the prime of health and living with us, then suddenly it happens and it’s like they never left. And that goes for our pets too.

And if I write that instead of the year 2023 and on earth, that humanity lives on several planets and moons in a distance galaxy a few thousand years from now, with humanity thriving beyond our current limits, with no wars amongst ourselves or fights or even small disputes as humans have evolved beyond all of that and live in harmony with poverty, illness, diseases, accidents, hunger, homelessness and thirst all a thing of the distant past. Also ofcourse we travel the stars so easily that other than out military ships and officers who patrol the stars and our scientific teams who explore and research, civilians too can easily travel the planets and star systems.

Imagine packing your kids, spouses, pets and the in-laws into a large mansion size spaceship and go from your home to another planet or moon either nearby or in a different star system. Vacations and travel for leisure to exotic worlds and safari on an alien planet with their animals and birds. Visit friendly tourist destinations where friendly aliens live. Ofcourse due to excellent scientific advancements, humans and their pets are protected in a forcefield that keeps them completely safe and impervious to outside danger, weapons, radiation and harmful gases etc. The stars are no longer the limit.

We often think of them as nuts. But cashews are the seeds of cashew apples, which grow in trees. The cashew is beloved around the world because it has a rich flavor and many uses. They’re popular as a snack, topping, as cashew butter, and in dairy replacements. Rich in protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants such as polyphenols, cashews offer several health benefits:

Reduced cholesterol

Cashews have had a bad reputation for containing saturated fat. But much of the fat in cashews comes from stearic acids, which experts think have little effect on blood cholesterol. Research suggests that people who eat a small serving of cashews every day may see a small reduction in LDL “bad” cholesterol.

Heart disease prevention

Not only can they lower bad cholesterol, cashews may help prevent heart disease due to their high magnesium content. Getting enough magnesium may reduce your risk of ischemic heart disease, which happens when your heart doesn’t get enough blood.

Stroke prevention

The magnesium in cashews may help reduce the risk of stroke. This link is thought to be strongest for hemorrhagic strokes, which happen when a weakened blood vessel ruptures and spills blood into the brain.

Diabetes prevention or management

Cashews are low in carbohydrates, especially compared to many other common snacks. This limits their impact on blood sugar, making them a good choice for people with type 2 diabetes, as well as for those looking to prevent the condition.

Cashew Nutrition

Cashews are rich in healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated types. They’re also a good source of protein. That’s one reason they’re popular with many vegans and vegetarians.

Cashews are also a good source of:
