Hey! How you doin out there??

[Michael Mattox - The Mad Ox @TheRealMadOx]

Tucker Budzyn did not just make videos. He made millions of people kinder for a few minutes a day.

Eight years. A golden retriever with a chicken habit and a face that sold joy without asking permission. Kids who never had a dog treated him like one.

Adults who were tired of the news still stopped for a golden on a porch. That is reach most politicians would kill for, and he did it by being a good dog.

Courtney and Mike let the world borrow him. That is the part people forget. They did not owe us the walks, the spa days, the son named Todd, or the last hard week.

They shared him anyway.

When he left on September 2, it felt like a family dog died in a hundred thousand houses at once. That is not branding. That is what happens when people feel connected.

He is gone. The clips are not. Play them for a kid who needs a laugh.

Rest easy, Tucker.

I wish you a day filled with small joys, big love, and moments that make you feel grateful to be alive.

You know what takes Confidence
and Courage?
Changing direction
when the way you were going
isn’t working for you.
Admitting you got lost
is the hardest part.
Turn around.
And if ANYONE
calls you a quitter,
you let me know.
(I will bite them in the butt.)

[Theo-sophy @notquiteold]

Sometimes
you have so many things to do
that you don’t have time
for your friends
and your family
(and pets)
And they have to wait for you.
Did you know that
‘things’
are much better at waiting
than
friends
and family
(and pets)?

This is Alfie. He is a professional opera singer with some of the best vibrato in the industry. Some have even called him the next Paw-varotti. 13/10

A gentle reminder: libraries are still here, still free, still open to everyone. No appointment required. No subscription fee. Just walk in.

🚨WOW!!!

Firefighters and college football players showed up to a Tennessee senior home...to pull grandmas and grandpas down a MASSIVE slip 'n slide!!!

Seniors with dementia and Parkinson's laughed like little kids again.

This is the annual "Ride 'n Slide" at Adams Place in Murfreesboro, Tennessee where a giant tarp is stretched across the lawn and the Murfreesboro Fire Department keeps it soaked and lifts residents safely on and off.

The Middle Tennessee State football team spent their day pulling grandmas across the water on inner tubes and cheering them on every single ride.

One resident, Mike Mitchell, an Army veteran and a retired minister who preached for SIXTY YEARS, talked himself into it right there on the lawn.

One grandma went down FOUR times and came up smiling saying, "Well that was fast!"

Organizers say the residents with dementia and Parkinson's light up brightest of all.

For one afternoon, no diagnoses, no age, just water, laughter, and people cheering your name.

That's so amazing...

GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE!!!! 🇺🇸

[Introvert Problems @IntrovertProbss]

Funny how introverts are always told to “speak up” and “get out of their shell”… but no one ever tells extroverts to lower their volume and maybe read the room

[Mental Health America @MentalHealthAm]

Just in case you needed a reminder…

You’re not in trouble.

You’re allowed to make mistakes.

You don’t need to earn rest.

Your feelings are not too much.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

You may have noticed that the word for ‘night’ in many languages appears to be that language’s word for ‘eight’ with an ‘N' in front of it.

English: N + eight = Night
German: N + acht = Nacht
French: N + huit = Nuit
Spanish: N + ocho = Noche
Italian: N + otto = Notte
Portuguese: N + oito = Noite

We hope this post about orphaned negatives makes you gruntled.

An ‘orphaned negative’ is a word that SHOULD feel like it has a related word, but doesn’t.

‘Nonchalant’ is an orphaned negative because there is no ‘chalant.’

It’s a good day to take things slow.

@atrupar Just saw a video where Trump pointed at someone and said "you're fired." "Fired," of course, is what you do with a gun, which suggests he wanted that person dead. Everyone in the FBI knows this.

[Theo-sophy @notquiteold]

Sometimes I take the easy path.
Sometimes I take the hard path.
I’m not lazy when I take the easy way.
I’m not a hero when I take the hard way.
I’m just
on my way.

[Theo-sophy @notquiteold]

Sometimes
when you are going full tilt
people might not be really sure
what you are -
You are just
A Creature.
You don’t always
have to explain yourself.
Being a mystery
for a minute
is miraculous.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Be careful committing to people who have significant memory loss from anxiety or depression. When they say "I don't remember that" or "that didn't happen that way" they actually mean it.

[Bertie Lakeland @bertie_lakeland]

I may just be a little Lakeland Terrier but some days I do wonder about the modern world, humanity and where it’s all going ……

Tomorrow why not just say ‘hello how are you today’ to a few people be kind have a little chat then say ‘good bye have a lovely day’

You might just make their day and raise a smile in a cranky world ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hey ⁦@DAGToddBlanche⁩, I saw the unredacted version of this email, and there is no reason it should be redacted from the public.

Unless, of course, you are trying to protect your master @realdonaldtrump.
