The impact of kindness is indeed real and it's up to us to make a difference in someone's life, one small act at a time.
This hit me... You never really know the true impact you have on those around you. You never know how much someone needed that smile you gave them. You never know how much your kindness turned someone's entire life around. You never know how much someone needed that long hug or deep talk. So don't wait to be kind. Don't wait for someone else to be kind first. Don't wait for better circumstances or for someone to change. Just be kind, because you never know how much someone needs it.

Remember to live a life that you are excited about instead of living a life others expect you to live 🥰🤗
A big part of being happy is being excited. Be excited for everything-making a cup of tea, seeing a friend, the next episode of your favorite show, buying something you've been saving up for, sunsets, traveling, falling in love. Live a life you're excited about.

Some things never change unfortunately
This comic is over 80 years old and yet you don't have to change a thing about it. It's every bit as relevant today as the day it was drawn.

I have found this to be true 🤗🥰
protect your Energy Not everybody is your friend or wants the best for you. Trust your instincts. Stay grounded. Don't open yourself to everyone. Be selective. Trust the vibes.

Follow your intuition and follow your heart 🤗🥰
You're asking for a sign, but you already know deep inside of you what's right for you and what's energetically aligned with your life's path. Your intuition is your guidance system. Trust it.

This is the convective storm outlook for today. Thunderstorms will be possible this evening into tonight across the western Gulf Coast states. Severe storms are not expected.
Thunderstorms will be possible this evening into tonight across the western Gulf Coast states. Severe storms are not expected. ...Synopsis... A mid-level wave traversing the Four Corners region as of mid-morning is forecast to move eastward into the southern Plains through early Thursday morning. West/southwesterly mid-level flow will steadily increase to around 50-60 knots as the wave approaches, which will help advect a plume of modestly steep (7 to 7.5 C/km) lapse rates out of northern Mexico towards the TX/LA Gulf Coast region through tonight. At the surface, a weak surface low noted off the south TX coast will gradually intensify and lift northward towards the LA coast as broad-scale ascent ahead of the upper wave increases later tonight. The combination of increasing ascent and steepening lapse rates will support isolated to scattered thunderstorms tonight into early Thursday morning for much of the TX Coastal Plain and central to southern LA. ...Upper TX Gulf Coast to far southwest LA... Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop along the upper TX Gulf Coast around 02-04 UTC tonight as warm advection atop a residual frontal boundary increases. Forecast consensus is that the surface low will remain off the coast through the forecast period, which will limit the potential for surface-based convection. However, strong moistening/ascent within the 925-850 mb layer will likely support a narrow swath of deep convection along the TX coast where MUCAPE may exceed 1000 J/kg. Within this zone, buoyancy profiles should be deep enough to realize the favorable kinematic environment, which will be characterized by elongated hodographs and effective shear of around 50 knots. Destructive storm interactions/modes will likely modulate the overall longevity of any particular cell, but the sufficient thermodynamic/kinematic environment may support a few brief storms

A very strong message that really hits home with me 🤗🥰
THE ROAD I LEFT BEHIND I stand and wonder at the paths I missed, The quiet turns, the chances kissed By time's swift hand, now out of sight-The roads I left in fading light. I think of doors I did not try, Of questions hushed, of dreams passed by, And sometimes ache for what could be, The unknown branches lost to me. Yet hope still whispers through the trees, That life is not confined to these. The road ahead is wide, unpaved, Not just the echo of what I craved. For every step, though weighed with past, Can shape a journey vast, steadfast. And maybe still, beneath the sun, The road not taken can be won. WRITTEN BY CHUIYAM VASHIM

Food related vehicles you may see on the road
Over the Road Snacking Forget about roadside attractions— these must-see spectacles are on the actual road. Check your blind spot for these fan favorite foodmobiles. The Big Idaho Potato Truck. Travelers should keep their eyes peeled for this 4-ton potato replica. If the towering tater were real, it would have taken more than 7,000 years to grow and would make almost 1 million french fries. The gigantic spud travels in style on a red tractor trailer with the Tater Team. One Tater Team driver even met his now-wife while hauling the giant spud around the country. The NUTmobile. Americans have been snacking on Planters nuts for more than 100 years. In 1,935, an ambitious Planters salesman built a peanut car. Since then, the nutty vehicle has been reinvented as a NASCAR hot rod, a biodiesel vehicle and a camper. Today's NUTmobile is longer than an elephant and weighs 13,000 pounds. Recent college grads, called Peanutters, drive the NUTmobile around the country. The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. The iconic hot dog on wheels has been hitting the pavement since the 1930s. The Wienermobile has lived through many retirements and rebirths, including being reinvented as a mini Wienermobile, an off-road vehicle and a Wienie-Bago, where a few lucky football fans found lodging at the 50th Super Bowl. A tour crew, named the Hotdoggers, mans today's Wienermobile.

Tips on how to chill indoors on winter days
Cool Ways to Chill Indoors If the weather outside turns frightful, try some of these indoor activities to make winter more delightful. Research your roots. Map your family tree by launching a genealogy research project. Heritage hunters can use both free and paid online resources to search military records, newspaper clippings, court documents and more. Make sure to keep your findings for future generations. Just dance. Turn any room into a ballroom this winter. Learn to groove alongside a video tutorial, or dance with virtual partners through an online class. By the end of the season, you may even try your new moves at a party with friends. Volunteer ... virtually. Explore opportunities to share your talents in service of others. Virtual volunteers can write letters of encouragement for first responders, transcribe historical records for the Smithsonian, tutor students and much more. Catch up over crafts. Invite a friend to try a new hobby with you, like jewelry making, calligraphy or origami. If you and your friend can't make crafts together in person, try crafting over video chat. You can even mail your creations to each other-both the successes and the funny failures. Adding curiosity and structure to your days can help keep wintertime blues at bay and make hibernation a little happier.

I played the clarinet in the school band and in the community summer band. I gave up playing the clarinet when I went on to college.
Top 10 Reasons to Play the Clarinet 10. Small case fits easily in to lockers 9. Almost no tuning needed 8. Cheapest reeds of the woodwind instruments 7. Everyone looks cute when playing a clarinet 6. The mouthpiece alone makes a great peacock call 5. The bell makes a great duck call 4. Clicking the keys just right sounds like a galloping horse 3. High notes beat fingernails scraping across a blackboard 2. In the right hands it becomes a lethal weapon 1. No spit valve

When someone uses the word, "illegals" I am done listening to what they have to say. I live in America, a nation stolen from the indigenous natives, built on the backs of slaves, & made prosperous by the sweat, & blood of immigrants. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." My country is not white. It's not Christian. It's American. It's made up of people from around the globe. Humans aren't illegal. But your dehumanization, & demonization should be.
