Stress. It is probably one of the biggest risks we face. The more worried you are that you might get sick, the more likely it is that you will, or if you do get sick that you’ll end up sicker, or even dead, from an illness you might have survived if you just didn’t worry so much. The more worried you are about the health of your heart, the more damage you do to your heart. The more worried you are about losing your memory, the more your memory fades. The list of damage that worry can do, because of the biology of stress, is long and scary. Which means that not worrying more than we have to may be the best thing we can do for our health.

You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will live as one. ― John Lennon

“When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.”

― Fred Rogers

What are the strongest days of the week? Saturday and Sunday. All the rest are weak days. Sometimes unanswered prayers are the best. You never know what God has in store for you. Keep praying, you never know where God will lead you. ~SantaBanta sms

Like a flower cannot blossom without sunshine, I cannot live without your love. Love someone not because they give you what you need; but because they give you feelings you never thought you needed. When you start loving somebody, you start caring about yourself. But
when you start caring about others, somebody starts loving you.  ~SantaBanta

With patience and understanding you can teach any old dog new tricks, depending on what you are trying to teach, or un-teach the dog, which is usually more difficult. Dogs can learn at any age, and like humans, it’s just old habits that are hard to break! A cat will almost never meow at another cat. Cats use this sound for humans.

Cats, unlike dogs, do not learn tricks to win your approval. Cats can be taught to perform tasks such as retrieving toys and jumping through hoops – but it may take patience and perseverance…and quite a few yummy treats for your feline. Source: Animal Leaque

Sounds like a win-win love ♥ deal 😉

The first day of spring is also called the vernal equinox where there is
supposed to be 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. In spring,
the Earth’s axis is tilted toward the sun, increasing the number of
daylight hours and bringing warmer weather. Many trees, flowers, plants
and bulbs begin to grow during the Spring.

Spring is one of the four seasons and the transition from Winter into Summer and usually occurs during the months of March, April, May, or from the Vernal Equinox (March 20) to the Summer Solstice (June 21).

A fully grown adult dog has 42 teeth. A fully grown person has 32.
The average dog is thought to be about as intelligent as the average two year old child, according to research by leading animal psychologists in America. Dogs have no sense of time in the same way that we do, although their body clocks dictate their need for food and going to the toilet, which is why owners often think their dogs are responding to specific times of the day with a conscious awareness of time passed.
