Don't Really Have Anyone To Celebrate With, So I Thought I'd Share With You Guys. Iām One Year Sober
That's quite the accomplishment! That first year is hell but so worth it. I'm 15 years sober now and wouldn't trade it for anything. Keep up the great work. I, like many others, are very, very proud of you!
I celebrated my year on June 6. Best gift I ever gave myself. Congrats!! Peace and Love.
Congrats, going sober is never easy. Don't worry we are celebrating with you. ā”
I Just Moved Into My First Very Own Place And Am Living 100% Independently
As another wheelchair user I 100% know how amazing that feeling is! Also love your shoes!
Congratulations and best wishes. Have you considered a companion dog or cat?
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 didnāt make us go live with our biological dad. He continued raising us as his own. He started out as my momās 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. Itās been a few years but I still have trouble on Fatherās Day. He could have ditched us when our mom died and we didnāt have enough income. But he didnāt. He was there fighting to put food on the table. Happy Fatherās Day for all of the fathers who fight for their children.
He sounds like an incredible human, but the fact he had to work 3 jobs with such health issues enrages me beyond belief.
A truly magnanimous man. And again, the health system of the US (which is where I assume this family lives) is sickening in every sense of the world. What sort of cruel society makes people with heart failure, let alone other illnesses work simply to pay bills?
Although we do technically have "disability" here, it's extremely difficult to get it, takes years, and is nowhere near enough to live on, much less raise kids. So yeah...USA, once again, is all about making money for corporations, and to heck with the people.
Load More Replies...May his memory be a blessing. I'm so glad he knew how much his children loved and appreciated him. This made me cry.
My husband, also named mark, took on my two when we got together, we've had two children together but as far as he is concerned he has 4 children and nothing changes that. Step parents who accept the kids as their own are amazing human beings
This made me cry. Simply a good man who took responsibility for the children he loved, even though they werenāt biologically his own, they clearly were in every way that mattered.
Thank Goodness For Common Sense. I Wish It Was Free
I live in what has been described by certain persons as a sh*thole 3rd world country, and I get my life-saving meds free from my local clinic and since the pandemic, as I am high risk and can't go out much, the very lovely ladies come and drop my chronic meds off at my door every month, and I am not charged for this service either. We do give donations though if we can to the ladies. Just something for the Americans to think about. And I am so sorry for all of the people battling financially due to the insane meds prices in the USA.
On one hand, America is my home. On the other hand......
Load More Replies...100% agree that the price is barbaric, but a bit sad that politicians have to experience a problem first hand to want to make a difference.
Why not introduce legislation that removes a price altogether for the public ? You pay taxes that goes towards the upkeep of roads in town and cities across the the US that you'll never use, improves areas of towns and cities that you'll never visit and pay towards a military budget with firearms you'll never use all of this done quite happily. Yet when it comes to making you feel better and curing or managing illnesses through having a healthcare where you get the right medicine or antibiotics without anyone to make a profit is a deeply divisive issue. Quite often, patients are given meds that aren't as effective as it can be, then moved onto another drug with slightly better results and so on until the correct one is given with the most effective results. This should've been done in the first place, however it seems that quite often, it's a case of profits before people.
A hero among us! My moms cancer meds are $65,000 a month. Thank God she has insurance that covers most of it. I mean, what do people do that don't?! Tragic
probably because the one vote he needed to get it passed came from someone you said it can;t be $0 or i won't vote for it.
Load More Replies...This is in Texas, so it probably won't pass. Greg Abbott is already pussed off at this guy because he is one of the Democrats that fled the state. I would love it to pass, but I know that my state legislature is full of Republicans.
It should never be about politics, when lives are at stake, but, it often is, and people die, because of it.
Load More Replies...How about giving it free, along with free needles and diabetic nurse appointments? Like in many countries outside US, where they see that early good care prevents further costly treatments and keeps persons in work force longer.
Huh, what do you want, socialized medicine? We don't want none of that commie crap. We got the best country in the world. USA! USA! /s

Load More Replies...But you did it! I always think about how long I have been sober-whether its three weeks, three months, three years...even three days.....I just think to myself, " If I break down and do this, I 110% know I will have to get sober again. Is this-whatever it is insert here-worth having to live thru every single day of the past number of--days -weeks-months-years--, from day one, again?! Wish I had known about that thought six years ago( sober 8 years, and then six years...with two stupid days in between) re-living those 8 years, the first two I would not wish on the devil himself. If I had only known that, I would have eagerly suffered thru that first day I fell off wagon, hands down. I would have hung on to that thought, and called somebody, and been 14 years sober today. I have to look at it as, it had to happen to teach me that, and, so somebody I don't know "out there" will keep this thought with them, and it will save them from paying for one day or two, with doing years over.

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.

Important Memories On Google Maps
This post made me look up my grandparents home on maps, and it hasn't been updated in almost a decade. No grandparents in the picture, but the two chairs they used to sit in are there, and I'm going to pretend their ghosts are sitting there, because I need an excuse for all these tears <3

This Is Harith Al Sodany. He Was An Iraqi Spy Who Infiltrated ISIS And Saved Countless Lives By Stopping Suicide IEDs And Car Bombs. He Was A Hero Who Met A Tragic Death
Let's not forget him.
The blame for his death is mostly on the media which essentially blew his cover reporting about fake bomb explosions, for the sake of getting the "exclusive" truth out. He infiltrated the ISIS command and drove suicide bombers to their targets, and, as ISIS believed, detonated bombs in Shia communities in Baghdad. Unknown to ISIS, these "deliveries" never reached targets and were all (30 in total) successfully driven to military bases, where controlled explosions and arrests were carried out. In order to keep Harith's cover, the military would report fake news stories of explosions and casualties to the press, with media cooperation. However, eventually, the media began to publish stories of fake explosions. ISIS became suspicious, Harith's cover was soon blown and he was tortured and executed.
This is awful, the media have a place in war but should respect their place to avoid awful things like this happening. May his soul rest in peace
Load More Replies...May his memory be a blessing. Now bring the rest of these brave souls (and their families) who helped the US to the country they aided. They earned safe passage!
What makes you think they WANT to go to the US? I bet they just want peace in THEIR OWN country.
Load More Replies...If you would like to research and learn more beyond the statement above the pic, you should Google his name with the correct spelling: HARITH AL-SUDANI. There is a lot to be learned and grateful for.
He died. How is this "Wholesome Pics Might Lift You Up " and "balance out negativity" BoredPanda?

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...
Load More Replies...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!
Shouldnāt be allowed to happen in the first place. These so called heroās are the ones who run the exhibitions to the top , so they should very well be cleaning the place up. Itās their customers rubbish after all

A Year Ago I Was Depressed And Suicidal. Today Things Have Gotten Better
I know what this feels like, and I applaud your courage and perseverance. You never know who you can help by sharing this.
Me too. You will. And you will flourish again. If more people talked about it, you would realize how common it is that people struggle with it. Here's all I know to share: depression is caused by living in the past and anxiety is caused by worrying about the future. Forgive anything in your past, and focus on being present and prepared for the future. What NO ONE tells you is THIS, when people meditate for 20-30 minutes, only 2-3 of those minutes are spent in real meditation. The rest of the time is racing. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO KNOW BECAUSE PEOPLE FEEL LIKE FAILURES WHEN THEY TRY MEDITATING AND CANT FOCUS. Just know that even the best can't focus more than 2-3 minutes. Be gentle with yourself.

Load More Replies...We can improve everybody's life so much by just letting animals live their life among us, as long as we accomodate them well and treat them with respect. Even if you can't afford a pet, be friendly to any wild animal you meet on your way, make room for them in your place as much as possible : you'll never feel sad and lonely anymore. One of the worst, most toxic for the environment and self-destructive feelings in humanity is to think that we're alone on this planet and only have to care about ourselves.
"as long as we accomodate them well and treat them with respect" EXACTLY. As an ethologist i made my thesis about it and the point was to study the effects of animal mediation on severe apathy/brain damage AND to prove that a free range animal is best and more efficient for patients and just basic respect for the animals. My appendices featured WTF pictures of mistreated animals performing "pet therapy". I proved very well that free range animals are even more efficient. Once a severely apathetic patient said "oh, the cat is about to jump off the wardrobe!" "yes he is madam!" it needs a very deep insight and interest to predict a behavior, that was awesome for a severely apathetic patient. Could not have been there with a poor tied cat who have no choice and is stressed as hell. This kind of people should be forbidden to work around animals and vulnerable people, they can make a lot of damages on both. maltraitan...fa7612.jpg
Animal mediation can do wonders. As an ethologist i studied the effects of sessions with my cat on severe apathy due to Alzheimer and brain damage. He managed to make a severly apathetic patient suffering from Alzheimer and stroke brain damage to use an arm that she never used since her stroke years before. Good job kitty! RIP kitty, he was a rescue and i lost him from mediastinal cancer while writing my thesis, it was awful but i know that he helped people a lot. photo-1-61...2a078a.jpg

Load More Replies...i remember once i high school. it was toward the end of the year, and a very hot stretch of weather came up with temps in the upper 90s. the building was old, and only the more recently built addition that housed the offices had any air conditioning so it was pretty brutal for the students. The school also had an no shorts allowed dress policy, but girls were allowed to wear skirts so long as they were no shorter than 2in above the knee. that week there were several instances of students passing out from heat related issues, and one was a girl who fell backwards down the stairs and got hurt pretty significantly. The Boys football team decided to all wear skirts in protest, and some other students that got wind of it also participated, along with multiple parent complaints and the school officially changed the dress code to allow shorts after that.

that picture would have been taken long before the opening, but good on him anyway.

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. āŗļø
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!

My Dad Suffers From Bipolar Disorder And Depression. He Was Feeling Very Ill, But When I Asked Him To Help Me Measure An Apartment, He Said "This Is Important For You So Let's Go"
I get depression too, distraction - having something to do that matters, is easily the best therapy.
What a strong man he is to go despite his own pain. He must love his child a great deal.
The mentally ill are just people with mental illness; they can be fools, geniuses, meanies, or loving dads.
Sometimes people just need to feel needed. It was probably hard for him, but also good for him. I know that sometimes I have felt like I just couldn't move, but i needed to be somewhere for someone so I had to motivate. Almost always, the experience turned my mood around for the better and was just what I needed, even though it was the last thing I wanted to do.

And this father will have the joy and love his own parent didn't experience.
My parents both had full time jobs back in the late 50s when I was born. My mom worked days and my dad nights. Dad and I spent a good amount of time in the garage, doing his latest project. Before I entered kindergarden, I could change a flat tire, change the various fluids in a car. As I aged, I moved several hours away for a job. Several times a year I'd be working on my car, rotating tires, putting the snow tires on in the fall and taking them off in the spring, changing antifreeze or oil. I can't tell you how many times men stopped offering to do it, for me, bless them. I had to tell them I had it covered. ;)

My Son Who Was Told Last Year He Was Behind In Reading Just Finished His First āBig Kid Bookā. All 131 Pages
I was behind in my reading and had to go to special classes. If I didnāt have that, I would have been stuck behind all my fellow students for a long time. Itās really hard not being able to read as well as others and itās so great heās read his first big book. It was a really important moment for me too.
Awesome job!!! I was told my autistic daughter would never read when she started kindergarten. Today she is 12 and reading on the level of a 10 year old, never give up little man!
When I was a kid, the local library had something called the "Ribbit Readers Club". You advanced in level by reading a certain number of books, and at each new rank you'd get a small prize. At the highest rank, you got a special trophy of a frog sitting on a book. And they did themed costume parties and everything. It was a great way of encouraging kids to read! I've still got my Ribbit trophy proudly displayed on one of my bookshelves. :D
Good job buddy!!! I also had a hard time reading when I was about 7/8. Had a great teacher and grandmother who took notice and turned it around. I read at least a book a week or more. Lots of years reading now and I still love it. Iām 70.
What does "behind on reading" even mean ? I hope your son can enjoy reading at his own rhythm and the things he likes !

In 2018 Highschool Robotics Team "Rogue Robotics" Made A Robotic Wheelchair For A Toddler Because His Parents Could Not Afford It And Insurance Wouldn't Pay For One
USA here: Its lovely for the team to do. They should be commended for their great deed. But, on the other hand, this is a USA failure - this family could not afford to care for their child due to the lack of affordable healthcare here. This family should not have had to rely on the goodwill of high school students
Awesome wheelchair! I'm sure there would be an adult or two that wouldn't say no to a Mario Kart special! Thank you Rogue Robotics, you didn't have to but you did.
This isn't uplifting. It's great they do this and all ... but ... insurance won't pay? Parents can't afford? This is, by all means, a medical condition which makes him even need this! This shouldn't rely on volunteers, or on his parents' income, or on anything but medical criteria - and the insurance shouldn't even have the right not to pay. They're there for something, not only for collecting money to hand out to their obscenely rich shareholders.
If I won the lottery I would buy a big farm to rescue all the animals and then I would buy kids things like this.

Man Buys $540 Worth Of Girl Scout Cookies So Girls Don't Have To Stay Out In Cold
This man purchased 7 packs of cookies. Gave the girls $40, told them to keep the change. Then he came back to the table and said. "Pack up all of your cookies. I’m taking them all so y’all can get out of this cold." $540 he spent on cookies. What an amazing soul!
1. That man is awesome. 2. Kind of predatory that the scouts expect the girls to sell cookies in the cold.
...so they could get out of the cold lol, Iād be honest and say I have a Girl Scout Cookie addiction. Especially the chocolate covered mint ones.
It depends on the GS Council as to when they sell cookies. When I was GS in CA, it was spring. My daughter's GSC in MD, orders and delivery Sept-early Nov. And down the road in a different county connected to PA GSC sells at end of winter. FYI, they also had different bakeries, so if you get Thin Mints or Do Si Dos(sp?) You are getting them from original bakery. If they have a name change, then it is the other bakery.

Iāve Been Growing Out My Hair For 3 Years After I First Heard You Can Give Them To A Charity That Makes Wigs For Children With Cancer. Today Was The Day To Cut Them All Off
I'll send them in and start over again. Hopefully, I can make as many kids as possible happy with a new set of hair.
Before you do this, please do some reading about that so-called "charity". It's a big scam that you are sacrificing your hair for. Better donate some money to a good cause and keep your hair.
Most of the wig "donation" nonprofits actually charge families quite a lot for wigs. By all means, keep donating if you want to, but there may be better ways to support people with cancer and other severe illnesses. Donate blood. Wash your hands. Stay home when you're sick. Make sure you're on the kidney and bone marrow donor lists. Be an organ donor. Push for funding for cancer research and quality, accessible healthcare, etc.
I donated around 14 inches a few weeks back, and it totally does!
Load More Replies...One Year Ago I Was In Such A Deep Depression That I Genuinely Could Not See A Future For Myself. Now I Have Bought My First Car, I Love My Life And I'm Glad I Stuck Around
I also signed a lease for my first apartment, and have a great job where I am surrounded by wonderful people daily.
When I was seriously depressed and in therapy, my therapist asked if I had had any suicidal thoughts. I said no, and even though I was at the lowest point I've ever been in my life to date I stuck by my lifelong philosophy of "this too shall pass". Nothing lasts forever, including the bad times, so there's no sense in ending it when a better tomorrow could be just around the corner. Thankfully, I was proven right. I got through it and now I'm enjoying life again. š
Living ain't all that bad. It is the frustrations and illnesses that take us down. But life, the spark that caused our brains to burst into existence, can experience some amazing things. My moment was sitting at the Grand Canyon with my wife and just seeing that time, so so much time, has passed and will pass with or without me but this is my time to cherish, no one else's.

WOW. What a difference. I know you changed some of your outside look, but that, is definitely not all because you physically changed your appearance. I swear, I think, down in your core, your soul, how you feel about yourself, how you treat others, and how you act when no one is watching, emanates from deep inside of you, and your appearance is affected by that. It manifest your internal beauty on the outside.( same goes for if you treat others badly, yourself badly, have nothing nice to say about anybody, and do bad deeds-that turns ugly on the inside, and radiates outward as part of your appearance.)
Loving the Friends shirt! It looks great on you! Glad to hear you are feeling better and loving yourself!
