We’re delighted to see that the postbox just outside of Bletchley Park has been beautifully decorated by a talented 'yarn-bomber'!
Thank you for your incredible work honoring service men and women ahead of Remembrance Day. We think this thoughtful tribute is truly inspiring ❤️

Just seems appropriate today.

Strażacy robią wszystko, żeby ludzie i zwierzęta byli bezpieczni!

W miejscach zagrożonych powodzią.
Odepnijcie psy z łańcuchów i otwórzcie kojce, dajcie im szanse na przeżycie.
Nie przeganiajcie kotów, które szukają schronienia.
Nie zostawiajmy swoich zwierząt samych!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture.

The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no.

Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.

You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery.

Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others.

Be civilized.

We remember the ones we lost, but we also celebrate the extraordinary kindness that was shown 22 years ago. These words were displayed on the desk of Mayor Claude in Gander through to his retirement in 2017.

[Dr Angie Bartoli @AngieBartoli]

For many today is a time of celebration, appreciation, and joy. For others it can be a reminder of what we have lost, never found or still seeking.
If today is one you celebrate- hold your mum (or her memory) close. If today is difficult- be kind to yourself. #MothersDay

The 7 year old girl who kept her hand on her little brother's head to protect him while they were under the rubble for 17 hours has made it safely. I see no one sharing. If she were dead, everyone would share! Share positivity...

After Mum's heart attack yesterday, I am putting this out there.

Heart Attacks present differently in Women, and if my Dad hadn't acted as quickly as he had, things may have been a very different story today.
