I Met This Kid At An Orphanage In Tanzania A Few Years Ago And Told Him That If He Studied Hard, I’d Pay For His School To Help Him Towards His Dream Of Becoming A Doctor

Sister And Unsung Brotherhood

Yes, but it was his wife who told him to do it. It's quite okay if women have some things for themselves, I assure you. It's quite okay if some stories are about how women look out for each other. Men won't all spontaneously combust because of it, so rest easy.

Seems to me that a sister had a nice idea, but a brother was the one watching your back. That's a pretty wonderful story, but I was a bit saddened at the husband not being appreciated for his amazing actions when the wife was appreciated so much for just a suggestion that he do something.
The year 2020 has been one hell of a ride. And although things are finally going for the better, many people still find themselves struggling to cope with uncertainty about the future, prolonged effects of quarantine, and low spirits in times of worldwide health crisis.
A batch of positive news, like this post, has likely done the job and lifted our spirits, but finding inner peace in your mind takes much more than that. In order to find out what an expert has to say about keeping oneself in a good place, Bored Panda reached out to the positivity coach and author of “Positive Young Minds” Lynn How. Lynn specializes in supporting parents, teachers, and children as they navigate through mental health issues and prevention.
According to Lynn, there’s always a source of strength deep inside us which helps us get through all kinds of crises. “Whether it’s work-life balance or combatting an issue such as addiction, a pandemic situation such as this exacerbates our difficulties to the extreme. With suicide at an all-time high and a mental health crisis on our hands, it is time we learnt how to access those skills which will help us to help ourselves.”
But Lynn explains that inner strength is something we most often don’t know we have until it's needed. “It’s what keeps you getting up every day when all you want to do is crawl back under the duvet and pretend the day hasn’t started. It’s the thing that makes you smile at your kids when you’re dying inside.”

My outdoorsman brother died suddenly during the summer. He had told several of us his plans for when he died. I was blocked from traveling to his state by Covid orders, so our surviving brother flew from CO to NY to accomplish his wishes. He and my brother's two closest friends hiked two hours out into the woods to a small lake where my brother had canoed and camped, and there his ashes and those of his dog were reunited with the wilderness they both loved. One friend and my brother were in their 70s, so this was a pretty big thing for them to do.

My sister said she watched her 13 year old daughter jump and cry when she saw her friends the first day back to in-classes. The school had switched to online learning in March and didn’t resume classroom learning until October. That’s 7 months without seeing any of her friends. It’s heartbreaking that the wee ones social activity needed for growth has become collateral damage to the pandemic.

Many people are worried about the sacrifices kids have to make, that they’re missing out on major milestones. They are and I appreciate them for it. Just don’t forget, they’re learning so much about empathy and doing their civic duty. I’m sure that many of us have learned to take care of our needs or value our relationships. It doesn’t mean we don’t need each other (or personal space).

Luckily, “We all have it to some degree and therefore we can build upon it.” In order to do so, Lynn says it's crucial to not be afraid to ask for help and let people know how you feel.”
Another important aspect of finding one’s inner strength is resilience. The positive mindset coach explains that “it’s the ultimate key to that inner strength, that ‘bounceablility’—which is the ability to keep getting up when you get knocked down, is often what you learn in the first few years of your life.”
This is a trait that should be fostered from an early age, but “unfortunately, as parents, we always want to solve children’s problems to cause them the least amount of pain possible.” But resilience is also something we can work on throughout the course of our lives.

I work in a school. Been in everyday since first lockdown in March 2020 to make sure children and parents could get online, support all the teachers learning how to make online lessons and looking after key worker kids. Even stayed open during the half term for those kids. We opened again to all the children in September. Straight away I had a kid walk into see me in tears. He was just so happy to see us and had missed us. People think teaching is so easy! Give a lesson, all that holiday, finish at 3:30pm! They have no idea of the real workload and sometimes the real heart ache when you learn what goes on in lives of some of these children. I have a number of stories about young children that would make you question humanity and how people could treat their own kids so badly, let alone any child.

The same thing (kinda) happened to us in October 2020, 2 days before my birthday. We had to put our first cat down that we had rescued in college. I emailed Chewy (and his regular vet and specialty vet), explaining what happened and that I needed to turn off the auto ship for his prescription/prescription food. They all sent cards, and Chewy included some treats and a toy for our little guy kitty. I will ALWAYS use Chewy!!

Chewy is so good about that. I ordered two cases of special food for my diabetic kitty a few years ago. He passed away only after about five cans were eaten. I emailed Chewy about it and they refunded my money and asked me to simply donate the food to a shelter. They also sent a beautiful bouquet of white flowers. After seeing this post, I'm thinking they did that because my kitty was pure white ... although I have no idea how they would have known that and now it scares me a little. lol

No, white is actually a mourning color depending on where you're from and your religion. But it was still sweet. Especially if you had uploaded a pic of your kitty to your Chewy profile. They may have gotten it from that.

I'm glad they came around but honestly, it still baffles me that it can take parents 21 years to accept that their child is attracted to the same gender they are.

The parents were probably taught when they were young that being gay was wrong, or unnatural. When they learn that their child is gay, they might wonder if (or people will tell them that) they did something wrong along the way. It can take a long time for traditional beliefs to change, but I'm glad they eventually could accept it. Baby steps.

I want this to be me at that age—-and beyond. I come from a very long-lived family, with several members who lived to over 100—even back in the 1980s when that made the news. Knowing that, I have planned my whole life to retire in my eighties instead of my sixties, because why should I spend an entire third of my life trying to survive on ever-dwindling social security and retirement investments? Adding 20-25 years to my working life shortens that downtime, and lets me sock decades more money away, to have a shorter and much more comfortable retirement.

It's funny how things work out in the end! I have a similar story. I really wanted a sister but ended up having a "brother". I was sad at first but we were still close growing up and I loved him. I found out 19 years later that I had a sister all along! I love her still dearly and my kids now have a wonderful aunt. My son's only concern was that he still wanted her to be his friend. When we told him yes he was happy. Love is love ❤!

My family is similar. I have autism, but ever since we found that out a few years ago, nothing has changed. They have not once abused or mistreated me, and despite being imperfect just like me and everyone else in the world, they try so hard. I couldn't have been born into a better place if I tried. ❤️👨👩👧
JensenDK 4 years ago
Oh no - autism does not mean 'imperfect'. No way, never! My husband and my son both has autism, and they are both perfect. It can be a challenge to understand each other now and then, but life never gets boring that way, and if it was possible to remove the autism from them, I would protest. I love them both just exactly the way they are.

Randomly Reunited With My Sister Tonight After She Ran Away From Home In 2005
The story is quite long and painful, but the summary is that we were raised in an abusive home. She had an undiagnosed mental illness and ran away at 17, I was 16. She was on the streets and dealing with addiction, in and out of rehab but she's been clean for nearly a year now. It wasn't random in that we accidentally bumped into each other, but random in that I assumed I'd never see her again as she became a distant memory, but that all changed overnight. I received a call before bed yesterday from another family member that they'd made contact with her, and that she'd actually moved back to our home city 2 years ago. Less than 24 hours later and she's back in my life again. The whole thing feels very surreal and I'm still trying to wrap my head around what just happened.

As long as older people are able to take basic care of themselves and their surroundings, I believe they should be allowed to stay independent. Sure, check on them regularly, and take them some ready made meals to heat up, so they can take a break from cooking once in a while, but don’t run their lives for them, and don’t take their autonomy away from them until they’re so incapacitated it’s the only thing you—-and they—-can do. I’ve seen way too many older relatives, who had been thriving living on their own, go downhill and die with lightning speed, when a busybody relative decides to put them in a home and liquidate all their assets (which is usually the main motivation, btw—-f*****g moneygrubbers!).

I worked hotel front desks for years, and have heard stories from housekeepers of some of the really gross stuff—-and people—-they’ve encountered, a lot of which would just turn your stomach. Because of that, whenever I travel, I hang up my towels, make my bed, and straighten out the room everyday. The day I check out, I strip down the bed and take down the towels, then put them in a neat pile to go on the laundry cart. Most of all, I leave a thank you note and nice tip. Housekeepers work too hard, and put up with too much s**t (sometimes literally, yuck) and make too little, so anything you can do to ease their day is incredibly appreciated, believe me.

You don’t keep anything that reminds you of a lost loved one? It helps with grieving to have something they wore often and even has their scent.

Is the peg better suited to sailing (serious question) ? Or was it just for the "fun" of it ?
Kayla J 4 years ago
if you look at the bottom left under most Bored Panda pictures they can take you to the sources, in this case Reddit. Someone had the same question and he answered "Actually, yes. A prosthetic foot doesn't flex like a real one. So it can act like a hook, and trip you up a lot. And there's a lot of lines (ropes) on a sailboat to get snagged on."

Congratulations and Great Job! My husband is British, and has been thinking about becoming a US citizen, so he ordered the study guide and sample tests. I was born here, and got As in History and Civics in school—-including college—-and the test threw me for a loop! Never ever think an immigrant who becomes a naturalized citizen knows nothing about the US. I’ll bet they know a lot more than you do!

Morning Sickness Is Rough But This Guy Is Definitely Helping. He’ll Sleep With Her Like This For Hours
Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago
Our companion animals tune into us so well, they just know something’s wrong—-sometimes even before we do—-and also know exactly what we need from them. I have four cats and a dog. When I’m sick, or laid up for some reason, I always have at least one of them with me, sometimes almost all of them; dog in his bed right next to the bed, or cats up on the bed next to me. It’s like they take shifts, and they each make sure someone’s with me before they leave to eat, go potty, visit with my husband, etc then come right back. I can’t imagine life without them.

My Grandma Has Some Mild Dementia, But She Always Recognizes My Boy When We Come To Visit

Carol Emory 4 years ago
This puppers looks like my sisters dog, Suzie. My Dad had late stage Alzheimer's, but he always recognized the dog. He'd pet her when she nuzzled, he'd feed her people food when my sister wasn't looking and if she started barking, whether he was awake or asleep, she'd get a very firm "Hush up! No go lay down!" And she'd obey him....

The biggest expense for a tradesperson is the investment in good quality tools, for a variety of purposes—-some of them are purpose made for very specific jobs and nothing else—-and they are not cheap! You have just given your son part of the core of his toolkit. Make it a tradition to give him at least one good quality tool he needs every Christmas until he’s got a complete set, plus spares and sturdy carrying cases and toolboxes. Same with work boots and clothes, which are also pricey for good quality.
