Stress can be very detrimental to your health. Sometimes it's good to focus on the beautiful and positive things about life. Being happy is a great motivator for action. It's hard to workout or function when we are feeling blue. Let's bring a little extra happiness here.

This is a short video set to the song Better When We're Together. It's about a boy that rescues a baby hummingbird. It's had over 5 million views. Everyone loves it -especially me. Truly heartwarming Rescued Baby Hummingbird |

Truly heartwarming Rescued Baby HummingbirdThe time, love and patience that young man showed in caring for the hummingbird is amazing! I hope he works with animals in some way, shape or form in the future! |

I love this! We are all imperfect, but we can strive to become better people. Love and empathy feel so much better than hate and apathy. Love is healing. Hate destroys us mentally and physically through ulcers, heart attacks and other ailments. Thank you so much for sharing, Dede. Attachments:

I have a way of frequently getting behind people in line that don't have enough money for their purchase -usually gas or food, but there have been other things. One day, on impulse, I decided to buy a lottery ticket. I had to turn around to get to the convenience store. I only had $12 on me. Two of which was for a lottery ticket. The (very) elderly man in front of me was counting change for gas. He only had $4 for gas. I asked the cashier to put an extra $10 on for him. He was so happy and so was the cashier. When I left the store, he and his friend were excitedly waving and smiling. It made my day. Here's a link to other stories: 30 Stories About the Kindness of Strangers There's also a Random Acts of Kindness website which has been around for years if you're interested in learning more :-) |

From the Jack Lalanne Official Youtube Channel: "Jack LaLanne: World Renowned as “The God Father of Fitness!” He was a television personality setting the Guinness Book of World Records with the longest running exercise program to date. 32 Years on the TV! He performed amazing feats of strength and his inventions were the basis for much of today’s fitness equipment. This documentary covers the many facets of Jack LaLanne. The man, the movement, and the legacy! There's more than you think to this man, watch and behold!" The very first exercising （following an instructor） that I did was with Jack Lalanne. I had a small black and white television and two small （under 4 years） children. I enjoyed the show and his motivating style. It's nice to stroll down memory lane on occasion. jacklalanneofficial |

 For it was not into my ear you whispered,
but into my heart.
It was not my lips you kissed,
but my soul.

 Let each man think himself an act of God,
His mind a thought,
his life a breath of God;
And let each try,
by great thoughts and good deeds,
To show the most of Heaven he hath in him.
~Philip James Bailey

 Better by far you should forget and smile
that you should remember and be sad.
