Don't Really Have Anyone To Celebrate With, So I Thought I'd Share With You Guys. I’m One Year Sober
I Just Moved Into My First Very Own Place And Am Living 100% Independently
When you finish going through the pictures, there are more things you can do to make your day a little brighter. Sarah Helen King, psychologist and founder of Invigorise, told Bored Panda that practicing gratitude can do wonders for us.
"Keep a gratitude diary near you and each day just spend a few minutes thinking about one thing you are grateful for, and write it down," Sarah suggested. "Then, whenever you are having a bad day, whip it out and read it. Instant mood enhancer."
For Those Who Step Up
My parents split when I was in first grade. My mom met my step-dad, mark, when I was in second grade. We moved in with him by the time I was in 3rd we moved in to his house. He treated my siblings and I as his own since day 1. He even would watch Gilmore Girls with me and my sister every afternoon. After my mom died when I was 16, Mark didn’t make us go live with our biological dad. He continued raising us as his own. He started out as my mom’s boyfriend and became my dad, my best friend, my go-to for advice.
Mark ended up working 3 jobs while having heart failure, asthma, and diabetes. He did everything he could to provide for my sister and I. He passed away 6 days before I graduated college in 2016. It’s been a few years but I still have trouble on Father’s Day. He could have ditched us when our mom died and we didn’t have enough income. But he didn’t. He was there fighting to put food on the table. Happy Father’s Day for all of the fathers who fight for their children.
Thank Goodness For Common Sense. I Wish It Was Free
No Matter How Hard It Is, You Have To Try To Push Through
But when it comes to news, the psychologist believes the only way to stop it from bothering us is to simply not watch it. "This has been hugely effective for many of my clients in minimizing anxiety in their day-to-day lives," she explained.
"As an alternative suggestion though, give yourself a daily time (e.g 6 pm) and limit (10 minutes) where you will catch up with the day's events. If you are prone to anxiety, steer clear of clicking on headlines that you know will be a trigger for you, and then after do something you enjoy, like go for a walk in nature or phone a friend for a catch-up and steer the conversation to something positive that happened in the day."
Another good alternative is The Happy Broadcast by Mauro Gatti, an illustration project that showcases some of the most positive news from around the world.

Nepalese Climbers Removed 2.2 Tons Of Rubbish From Everest While Tourists Were Away
Yeah thanks for cleaning up stuff that shouldn't even be there.... oh right.
Load More Replies...
They should make every climber bring back at least 2kg of rubbish each, every time. How disrespectful of the mountain and the people who live there :(
This is as wholesome as it is sad. Mountaineering should be about experiencing nature to its fullest, so people who do it SHOULD be aware of what they're doing to nature by littering. But as it's nowadays a matter of money to be carried up Mt Everest, even a remote place like that is invaded by selfish pricks.
Is it possible to close down a mountain? Because they should. Let the mountain be.
Certainly. You need an expensive permit to climb Everest and the Nepalese government could just stop issuing them. But the money...

Ugh, I hate these feel good stories that are actually a tiny dogooder's dent in a systemic problem. Good on these climbers for clearing rubbish, but couldn't the article be about what actions local governments, inspired by these do gooders, now plan to take to prevent litter in the first place?
Wow! That's impressive and bad that there was that much litter there anyway!
Shouldn’t be allowed to happen in the first place. These so called hero’s are the ones who run the exhibitions to the top , so they should very well be cleaning the place up. It’s their customers rubbish after all
If the carried it up why can't they carry it down? Never understood that.
You each went the extra mile in every direction.... Thank you !
It would be great if the most dramatic accomplishments were for improving the planet instead of reaching personal goals.
Maybe for the privilege of climbing, they should have to haul out some trash before climbing.
Carry in, Carry OUT, people!!! This applies everywhere, but it seems like the people on Everest should really have understood this...
r/detrashed was just talking about this the other day, and trying to think of ways to handle it. Then the locals went and did it for them!
You are heroes. Says a lot about the people who leave so much garbage behind. Yucky people.
Of course they wouldn't have had to if a bunch of cretinous a holes hadn't left it there in the first place.
WOW, you'd think that climbers would be more respectful of that majestic place.
the view reminds me of the mysecretwoods ring collection :O. Bless these climbers.
I wish any moron wanting to that climb should cough up 1000$ as a fee just for the clean up. I followed an aquantaince on social media who did the trip and it is really just a massive vanity project.
Some of this "rubbish" is the lost packs of those who didn't make it, climbing Everest has become far too trendy for too many who have no business attempting it
Have they ever managed to clear away all the bodies that are lost up there?
Y’all are freaking AWESOME! People who don’t understand that the world is not their trash can drive me nuts.
