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."

After A Wildfire Destroyed My Family's Home In Lytton, These Firefighters Saved The Animals That Were Left Behind By Bringing Them Food And Water
Firefighters are the absolute best. When our house burned down, a firefighter gave my cat oxygen. ☺️
I am glad they got out the most important valuables... the living! Wishing you lots of help to pull your life back together!
I remember this clearly. So many animals were saved, by the efforts of rescuers.
Hi everyone these are our puppies and the remains of our home in the background. Please know we would NEVER have left our animals behind. We were away from the farm attempting to help evacuate Lytton when the fire jumped the river and raced 4 km from it start point. It moved unbelievable fast. Access to our farm was blocked by the fire from both directions. We spent 4 days fighting for access to be allowed in to get our animals. On day 5 we went rogue and showed up at the roadblock and told them we were not leaving without our animals. We carry a great deal of guilt for not being able to save the animals who perished in the fire and well a guilt for not being able to rescue our surviving animals sooner.
First of all thank you for helping others evacuate! I am so sorry for the losses you have endured. Secondly please don't beat yourself up and feel guilty. I know it's easier said than done and I'd probably be the same way but it was out of your control. Also please do not take people's comments personally. I think we see things like this and assume the worst because honestly human beings can really suck. So thank you for explaining! Hang in there, and give your family and those animals extra love and hugs and may they be a source of comfort during this time. I will pray for you!
Load More Replies... I could not leave my critters I'm so stupid I'd probably stay with them. Thanks to great people like these.
Oh, what sweet doggies! I am so glad they were saved! These firefighters are saints!
[Pauline] why do people have so many animals they are incapable of planning to evacuate them as well? Leaving them behind for a horrible death? I can't do that. I have plans for my precious animals and volunteer to help others with theirs.
Firefighters will always be my heroes along with all the behind the scene medical people that aren't doctors, but seldom get credit.
Nobody would intentionally leave them. We were trapped on the otherside of the fire and could not reach them. It took 5 days of fighting the Regional District and finally going rogue to get the survivors out.

Where does it say they left puppies behind? I'm going to look again.
If there will be a fire, the First thing I would collect & grab would be MY PETS. Materials can be placed but not my beloved animals..
What if they were gone when the fire got close and weren't allowed back home? Or had to help elderly family or something out of the house and by then couldn't get their animals? I totally get your point! I feel the same way about animals but there are unfortunately times where Circumstances just don't let things work how we want them to.
