Just jump in if joining, no "catch up" ... just today is today ...

I will include chapter headings, as we discovered some differences between the US and UK editions regarding chapter order.

Chapter 49 - Don't Let Things Go To Waste - Take a part of some food you ordinarily throw away and find a recipe or reuse them in some other way. For example, these simple recipes for cooking onion skins that we often throw in the trash (https://food52.com/blog/16853-4-ways...up-onion-skins) or for lemon peels (https://food-hacks.wonderhowto.com/h...peels-0168627/). In Zen life, precious resources are used with much greater care and efficiency than most of us bother with in modern consumer life.

Chapter 50 - Don't Be Bound By A Single Perspective - Rescue some item or object about to be tossed in the trash, and repurpose it in some useful way. For example, wash out a used tin soup can and turn it into a holder for old nails, an incense burner or maybe a planter for a seed like in our previous week. Use old worn clothes to clean some part of your house you have forgotten to clean for awhile or, if good with a needle (like all our Rakusu sewers now are ) to sew into some new item (https://www.buzzfeed.com/connieesch/...hes-throw-away).
