I was born with Neurofibromatosis(specifically type one) which is a genetic disorder.. My grandpa who was not my Biological grandpa died in April 2016 and when I read the program from his funeral I burst into tears.It said in lieu of flowers to please donate to The Children's Tumor Foundation in his memory. My grandpa loved me so deeply and dearly and I knew that but I hadn't seen him in a few years due to me developing such severe fatigue that I no longer attend family functions. When I read that part in the program it felt like him telling me "I love you" one final time. I knew he saw me as who I was and not Neurofibromatosis but yet he still had my back 100% he wanted me to be free of my pain and the chains of Neurofibromatosis. That one little blurb in his funeral program showed me that. I honestly had no idea just how much he loved me and supported me and I will never know but this showed me that his love for me was infinite. He was a wonderful grandfather.

Awwww... I have a friend whose mom was pregnant with her and got diagnosed with cancer. She chose not having treatment over having her. She passed when she was a newborn, and I told her that as a mom myself, I would've made the same decision. I'm going to send her this... it's so completely accurate. annnnd.....damned onions!!!
While many of us experience wholesome moments in our every day lives, we often don’t think to share them online. Maybe we smile to ourselves in the moment and tell our roommates when we get home, but it’s easy for the joy of an unexpected sweet moment to be fleeting. “Ah, that was nice,” we think. Then two minutes later we're back to being stressed and yelling at other drivers while stuck in traffic. But making an effort to actually share the good things that happen to us can help elongate the joyful feelings and spread them along to others.
Aside from the initial warm feeling we get from reading uplifting stories, consuming positive news can actually be good for our health. According to child psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Nehrer, the simple act of smiling can lead to more positive thinking and act as a coping mechanism for whatever issues we’re battling at the moment.

While many of us know the negative effects of consuming too much disheartening media and getting stuck in the cycle of “doomscrolling”, we can easily shift our mindsets into more positive places by consuming happier content. In fact, mainstream media outlets are getting on board with the desire for positivity by introducing “good news” sections. These can be found on the Daily Mirror, Today, the Huffington Post, The Washington Post, the BBC and more. Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, author of Happier, told The Washington Post, “While I don’t recommend burying our heads in the sand and ignoring what is going on around us, we should certainly limit our consumption of bad news and expose ourselves to uplifting content.”

If she had to manage with 20$ for some time already, she probably stretched the 600$ she got at least into 12 months, if not longer. Or she could afford something she needed now. Like... a washing machine, or a stove. There is always something. Maybe she just saved it for worse days.

I was at a grocery store around Xmas time, it was late, I took out 200$ to add for my rent, I put it in my small purse, as I walked out I fumbled for my keys in my purse as it was very cold, when I got home, I couldn’t find the $, looked everywhere, even back in the car, nothing, the next day I called the market and told the manager what happened, if anyone turned cash in from the parking lot, she said since it’s cash it’s probably gone, told her I just had my fingers crossed that a Good Samaritan turned it in, I was bummed out for weeks, that was part of my rent $ that I worked hard for, but something in my head kept telling me it was ment to be, maybe someone else was having it worse was really needing that for the holidays

I once found a wallet in a shopping cart around Christmas. It had over $1000 in it..I looked through the wallet and found several business cards that were the same so I called the number and asked if they lost their wallet. I told them I'd meet them in front. she came running up sobbing because that was the cash she had taken out to buy her whole family Christmas gifts. She wanted to reward me and I said absolutely not, and I would just take the good Karma. When I was leaving to go home, a car ran the red light and almost smashed into me but I was able to react and it just missed me. I saw that as my payback.

Aw, so sweet. I have a story as well, a girl shared how when her cat was sick and not eating she cried, because she thought her kitty would die. The cat ate a little bit and when her human cheered up she ate some more, to make her happy. The cat lived and since then every time the girl cries the cat brings a bit of her food and eats in front of her, to cheer her up.

When I was pregnant with my first, we had two German Shepherds. The male would stick close to me to keep people away, while the female would keep circling to keep other dogs away. Once I gave birth, they transferred that protective instinct to my daughter. They were the Best Good Dogs Ever.

This is the sentence I say most in my life, - "we don't deserve dogs."
The Washington Post even features an experiment on their website where readers can turn on their computers’ cameras and watch a series of “positive and neutral videos” while the camera tracks their facial expressions. They call it the “joy-o-meter” and its goal is to measure viewers’ happiness through emotional recognition technology. “For the positive videos, the average viewer expressed happiness throughout 39% of the video,” the website states. And in one video featuring a “camera-ready dog, participants smiled throughout 80% of the video”. You can try the joy-o-meter for yourself right here if you’re interested.

urlocalmtndewaddict 3 years ago (edited)
Does anyone actually do that, though? A lot of people get rid of elderly dogs, sadly. And not everyone can afford a pool. Making their last years good ones should be a thing anyone is allowed to do, regardless of how much money they have, especially due to the rate of abandonment of senior dogs since they're no longer seen as "desireable" when they age. My first dog stayed with us since we rescued him at three from an abusive owner, and we kept him until he was sixteen years old. He passed a few days after his birthday (he had heart problems). He didn't have a pool, but he sure was happy, spending his final days with us, being spoiled with attention. Heck, the day he died, our uncle was here, and those two ADORE each other haha. I'm sure he was happy, too. Anyways, point is, I dont think its wrong for someone to adopt a senior dog. Part of me wants to make a senior dog sanctuary in the future, a place for ones whose owners don't want/can't take care of anymore to live out the rest of their days loved and well cared for.

In terms of what makes people smile the most, the joy-o-meter found that pet videos yielded the most positive reactions. But light-hearted memes and sweet videos aren’t the only resources online that can be beneficial. Exposure to constructive journalism can also be helpful for inspiring readers, compared to most news which tends to discourage audiences. Jodie Jackson, author of You Are What You Read, told The Washington Post that constructive journalism “makes us feel more empowered because it gives us three key psychological ingredients: optimism, hope and self-advocacy”. “It helps build resilience,” she went on to say.

If you’re looking for a book to read to help convince you of the impacts positive media can have on your life, I recommend checking out The Power of Good News: Feeding Your Mind with What’s Good for Your Heart by Hal Urban. The book likens how we nourish our minds to how we nourish our bodies:
“Urban explains why, due to neuroscience as much as economics, the media—left, right, and center—focuses mostly on negative stories. And he describes the psychological toll this takes on our mental health. But he’s not suggesting we ignore these stories, just that we vary our diets…We can find countless signs of progress and acts of kindness all around the world if we know where to look. And there are positive aspects in our own lives—family, friends, beauty, generosity, and progress—that we take for granted. Offering techniques he road tested as a teacher for thirty-six years, Urban helps readers become a conscious consumer of information, balancing sources like food groups.”

While the internet is an amazing resource for just about everything, when we’re looking to boost our feel-good hormones in ways that don’t involve screens, Henry Ford Health has got us covered. First, let’s break down the four key "happiness-boosting hormones”: dopamine, serotonin, endorphins and oxytocin. Dopamine is the “happy hormone”, which provides the high feeling we get from falling in love, being praised for a job well done, and countless other pleasurable experiences. Serotonin, aka the “feel-good hormone” is needed to ward off anxiety and depression. Easy ways to boost serotonin are getting a good night’s sleep or enjoying the great outdoors. Endorphins are famous for providing that great feeling we experience after working out, and they act as a natural painkiller. Lastly, oxytocin, or the “love hormone”, is known for creating bonding and attachment and spikes when we experience intimate touches like cuddling or kissing.

There are plenty of easy ways to get a spike in these hormones, including exercising, going for a hike or swimming in nature, and experimenting with aromatherapy. If you’re looking for more relaxing options, try taking a nap, getting a massage, meditating or listening to music you really love. As Dr. Farvah Fatima of Henry Ford Health shares, “There's no right way to boost any of these feel-good hormones. Instead, the key is to tune into your body and notice how different activities make you feel, both in the moment and in the hours afterward.”

During recent years, largely due to the pandemic, many of us have become acutely aware of how constant exposure to bad news can negatively impact our mental health. However, one famous actor realized this issue and decided to use his massive platform to spread some positivity. On March 29th, 2020, John Krasinski, famous for playing the role of Jim on The Office, launched a web series called Some Good News. The premise of the series was “a news show dedicated entirely to good news”, and it featured Krasinski at home during the pandemic, inviting various celebrity guests to join in on the conversations.

We tend to associate finding sources of positivity with something to do in our personal lives, but why not incorporate it into the workplace as well? Paola Cecchi-Dimeglio, CEO and founder of People.Culture.Drive. Consulting Group, wrote a piece for MITSloan Management Review sharing tips for how employers can boost employee morale through sharing good news. She mentions that employees tend to imitate the behavior of their supervisors, so it’s important to set positive examples and encourage sharing uplifting news. Paola also mentions the value of regular social bonding opportunities to help employees enjoy their work environment. Lastly, she shares that guiding workers towards mental health resources can help reduce anxiety, and helping employees develop start-and-stop rituals at work can make it easier for them to find a healthy balance between work and personal life.

actually, it's not manipulative capitalism.... I've never seen a hotel give away anything for free that it didn't feel was an absolute life-or-death necessity. So, to get something as random and silly as a rubber ducky, I would say this hotel in particular is more bucking that capitalist trend.

Animals do have favorite people. My dog loves me, but I’m chopped liver when my husband comes into the room. Then again, I’m the favorite person of two of our cats. The third cat gravitates toward my husband just like the dog. Basically we have four animals who love both of us, but we each have two who consider us their favorites. We just love them all with a heart and a half.

There's a type of Fairy Wren in Australia that has a couple of peculiarities about their singing. They live in 'harems' - one male and his group of females, plus a few juvenile males. The females sing love songs to their male and wait for it to nest at night. Then they sneak off and have sex with a neighbouring harem leader, before sneaking home at dawn and then singing to their male. There was also a study done on them not long ago, about why the male seemed to be singing specifically to eggs that are gestating. The scientists figured out that when the babies are hatched, they already know Dad's voice, so they stay in the harem when they're older. I love them - I have a group of them in my garden; the male is called Diego and (all of) the females are called Frida...as in Khalo.

I'm 45 years old and the best thing I've ever eaten in my life was homemade tahdig made by a friend of my moms- when I was 14- so I can definitely relate to this. Shortly after we ate at her home, they moved to England and our family got out of touch. I still think about that tahdig pretty frequently and have tried to replicate it but nothing has worked very well or even come close to Pamela's.

I may be very wrong and I dont remember the condition, but it looks the same as what make siamese cats darker in the end-bits. Their fur change colour with the temperarure. So where is is white, he is presumebly colder
AnnaBanana 3 years ago
I think that's called the Agouti gene. That's what makes 'pointed' cats pointed, i.e. darker on their points. However, having a fever when a young cat can also make their fur grow in white - I had a seal point ragdoll who had little white 'spectacles' around his eyes from a short illness when he was a kitten. But I've never seen a dark coloured cat with ears this white!

I'm obsessed with my cats' feet. Utterly obsessed. I can't leave them alone! I'm lucky I have three cats, so one doesn't have to put up with messing with it all the time. But I can't decide which feeties I love the most! The jet black, leathery ones... The pink with black spots ones that are exceedingly ticklish... Or, the palest pink, tiny ones that feel just like velvet. Kitty foots are truly beautiful!

What’s so cool is when they put their paw out like that, and you gently put your finger or hand under it—-not grabbing it, just gently under it—-and they do that stretch and clench of their toes like they’re squeezing your hand or finger to tell you they love you. You can only do that with a cat who loves you. If the cat doesn’t like you, they’re more apt to turn their paw into a murder mitten and take a swipe at you to slice you up.

We used to have a raccoon come to our house begging for food when I was a little kid. We didn't see her for a few weeks and we thought she had been hit by a car, but then suddenly she came to the door. We gave her a treat and she ran back to the woods. Then she came back with a baby raccoon in her mouth and dropped it at our feet and ran back to the woods for her other baby. She dropped him next to us and sat back a few feet while we cooed and pet the baby raccoons and gave them treats, too. After a few minutes of this she waddled up, took the babies and went back to the forest. We figured she was either showing off her babies or telling them "Here's where you get the good stuff"
HarriMissesScotland 3 years ago
Not a raccoon, but a muskrat. My husband and I "adopted" a small park with a pond, and started caring for the grounds, planting flowers that were native to the area, etc. There was a pair of muskrats that approved of our work, and every spring, after the thaw, the mama muskrat would bring her babies over to show us. She had twins almost every year. Talk about "Muskrat Love." LOL
