Every day presents us with the chance to expand our knowledge. But if you are still, for whatever reason, worried that you are too old to learn something new, think about Priscilla Sitienei, a midwife from Ndalat in Kenya.
Not having the opportunity to attend school as a kid, she grew up without learning to read or write. But as she got older, she wanted to share her experiences and knowledge with her family. So, at 90 years old, she joined a local school, along with six of her great-great-grandchildren.

When my kids and I see scary pictures of sharks (breaching, with all their teeth on display, for example), we imagine them singing power ballads. That takes the edge off, too. Total Eclipse of the Shark!
Engaging in activities that challenge our mind is the key to reducing the risk of cognitive decline. Studies reveal that adopting new skills can enhance mental abilities in older adults. Just like our muscles, the mind also requires daily exercise to stay healthy.

Taking up hobbies that involve curiosity also reduces stress and anxiety. For instance, reading allows us to unwind by letting us take a break from the hustle and bustle of work, relationships, and daily responsibilities. In fact, it triggers the release of feel-good neurotransmitters, such as dopamine. These neurochemicals promote feelings of pleasure and relaxation.

This Is One Of A Collection Of Twelve Giant Books Made In 1715 By A Priest In New Spain
sushi 1 year ago
this is most likely a community missal book for churches, as printing individual booklets was beyond expensive and pretty much impossible. these books were placed in the front and center of the church, and the huge letters allows for anyone in any part of the church to read along and follow the mass. books like these usually had hymns or psalms for the congregation to sing, or the parts of the mass such as the liturgy of the eucharist. churches very rarely owned more than one of these books, as they were pretty dang expensive, but one book could have up to an entire liturgical year written inside of it.

The Blood Falls‼️ One Of The Most Incredible Natural Phenomena On The Planet
InfamousBerry34 1 year ago
How does this happen? Kinda need more information, so if anyone can help that would be great please :)
Jossh Nine 1 year ago
Blood Falls is a waterfall of vibrant red water that oozes out of Antarctica's Taylor Glacier. Its unique color is due to iron salts seeping out of the ice that turn red when exposed to oxygen. The falls are home to microbes that can survive extreme conditions, with no light or oxygen.........I just did a copy/paste from a Google search.

I'm always thinking, must my every comment be negative? But somehow that's what I feel compelled to speak on. Some of us have bad habits. And we know it. And we're half-heartedly trying to make it better. But also, complaining somehow brings me joy. Go figure. Maybe adding your positive spin will even things out.
