In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, focusing on wholesome moments doesn’t mean ignoring the tough parts of life. Instead, it’s about choosing to see things in a more positive and constructive way.
It’s not about pretending problems don’t exist—it’s about believing that challenges can be overcome and that good things are always around the corner.
D***s. D***s. D***s. D***s. Not all D***s are illicit. Stop censoring every damn thing.
I'm not sure whether unskilled labor actually does exist, since the examples people bring up are just jobs that require skills that are learned outside of formal education. But if there is such a thing as unskilled labor, the unskilled laborers still need to be paid fairly for their time and effort.
Psychologist Barbara Fredrickson suggests that positive emotions expand our way of thinking, making us more open to new ideas and possibilities. When we feel happy, we’re more likely to think creatively, connect with others, and find solutions to problems we might otherwise struggle with.
Simply put, a positive mindset opens doors.
On the flip side, negative emotions tend to limit our thinking and reactions. Think about a time you were extremely stressed—chances are, you felt trapped, unable to see beyond the immediate problem.
That’s because anxiety and fear narrow our focus, making it harder to find alternative solutions or consider different perspectives.
Research also shows that positive emotions help us build valuable mental and emotional resources over time. People who regularly experience joy, gratitude, and love are better equipped to handle stress, setbacks, and even major life challenges. Meanwhile, negativity can drain energy, making it harder to bounce back from difficulties.
Beyond just mindset, positivity has real health benefits. Studies show that optimistic people tend to have lower rates of depression, as well as improved heart health and stronger immune systems. When we focus on the good, our bodies actually respond in a way that makes us healthier.
A positive outlook also reduces overall stress levels. People who actively practice gratitude and focus on uplifting experiences tend to feel less overwhelmed in difficult situations.
This means they’re able to manage pain and discomfort better than those who constantly dwell on the negative.
When my mom's mother (Mammay to us), I went to help her clean out the house. I found a ton of the Barbie clothes that my great Aunt Alta (great grandmother's sister) had sewn for my sister and I one summer when I was like 7 years old. I brought every single piece home with me, even though I didn't have a girl (yet, but she wasn't a doll kinda kid). I now have 1 granddaughter and another on the way. Thanks for the reminder! They're packed away and I had forgotten about them.
Psychological well-being isn’t just about avoiding stress—it’s about how we cope with it. When life throws challenges our way, maintaining a hopeful attitude can help us navigate those moments with resilience. It’s not about avoiding reality but about handling it with strength and grace.
Even as a child, I could recognize that even the house i was abused in, was a house more than many people had. And then I also had the forest to run and hide in, some people dont even have that. And this was before i started counting my blessings, like my dog and two cats and my bed. I thank my grandma. She failed hard with my psycopath father (she tried to drown him..) but she did alot for my perspective on life <3 Sometimes i wish she had reported him tho, instead of moving closer to fill the gap when he left for a week at a time for "work" when I was a preeschooler. But one cant have it all.
This should be posted in all of those toxic facebook mom groups so those gatekeeping twats see.

As we've established previously on BP...This is real but the person in question was not a chief mechanic as no woman has achieved that feat in F1...If I remember correctly we did work out who she was and she was senior in an F1 team...BP, Please stop putting out the same memes over and over and over and over and over and over again. Have some self respect and try new ones.
The name of the song is Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle.
My mum told me this story. When I was about 3, my dad thought he'd teach me to punch. He held up his hands, palms facing me, as he said, "Hit me, son. Hit me." Apparently, I responded by picking up his work boot and conking him on the head with it. I believe I made him cry.
Most of us will be able to contribute *something* - we just need to be allowed to tell you what we can do rather than being written off because we can't do everything non-disabled people can do.
So right! It's the only acceptable form of "if you can't handle me at my worst".
I still don't understand why children don't learn sign language in schools and kindergartens from an early age. It would be so easy and such a great way of inclusion
Here in Edinburgh you have a quick chat while your items are being scanned. It's really just a quick thing and quite a lot it's the customer starting by asking the cashier "How are you today". You heard that right: the CUSTOMER asks first. It's kinda a way to say "I acknowledge you as a Human being, not just a part of the supermarket machine". Oh well, and we love a wee blether. ;)
These are the kind of relationships we all are in need of. ☝️ This is need, not a want.
Why is it here? 😒 This is literally "Karan getting Karma" moment 🙄 this absolutely doesn't belong here
Why is this a "thing" in the country that claims to be "the leader of the free world"? We do this anyway, in countries with free healthcare for all. Socialism I suppose...
Seems like they are in a content and healthy relationship. I love this 💞
Shes a GREAT grandma to an adult and still looking young as ever? Aimt no way
My father was the only earner in the family of three. We had a car, my parents had a flat with three bedrooms, that they paid off during my teenage years. We went on a 4 week vacation with a caravan to France every year. I wore Esprit and branded shoes. My father was a technical draftsman. I was born in 1983. My mother recently told me, that I make higher figures than my father ever did, but she now sees that I could never do all that they did.
Resonates. I was born on Christmas in a quite religious family. I never had a birthday cake until I was in my 30’s
Society could learn so much from people who were abused as children how the various forms of abuse hurt people in the long run. But apparently it's more important to stick to "how we always did it", unloading one's frustration on a weaker person aka the kid, and seeking revenge rather than teaching a kid how to do better...
If there's really such an insistence on the man paying that seems an extremely American (or anglo) thing. In Germany it's just the partner who can afford to pay (and it often was me), and gifts outside birthdays and Christmas aren't really a demand, more something you just do when you feel like it and to the extent of your financial level.
The bowler is bowling over hand with his none dominant hand and the bats man has stepped forward ready to knock the ball for an easy 6... BUT WHAT IS THIS?!?!?! He has dropped the bat and pulled out an eldritch horror! This cricket match is definitely going to be epic!
