An elderly couple entered a McDonald's and sat next to a table where some young people were having dinner.

The old man walked over and made the order for himself.

He unwrapped the burger, cut it in half and put one half next to his wife. Carefully he counted all the fries and did the same.

He dipped 2 straws in the soda and put it between himself and his wife.

The old woman began to eat her half of the burger, while people stared at her compassionately.

A young man approached them and offered to buy them another portion of food.

The old woman replied not to bother, as they were used to sharing everything.

People realized that the old man had not eaten, he only watched as his wife ate.

The young man approached them and repeated his offer.

This time it was the old man, who explained that no, they were used to sharing everything.

The young man then asked the old man,

And what are you waiting for then?

THE
TEETH!!!

Have fun with these phrases: these boots are made for walking, I feel the need for speed, go ahead make my day, same procedure as last year, and I'm sorry Dave I can't do that.

To people who continually keep asking for space or say I can't do that... *Beware* .

*You think YOUR plans didn’t work out?*

Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore thought they were going to space for 8 days.
They ended up being stuck for 286 days.

They were LITERALLY stranded in space.

Imagine this:
👉🏾 You pack for a short trip, but instead, you’re gone for almost a year.
👉🏾 No fresh air. No real food. No way out—just waiting in the void of space.
👉🏾 No clear answer to when (or even if) you’ll make it back home.

And here we are, losing patience when:
- A 10-minute traffic jam ruins our day.
- A deal gets delayed by a few months.
- A rejection email makes us want to quit.

Perspective.

These astronauts had no control over their situation.
They couldn’t just book a return flight. They had to adapt, stay calm, and trust the process for 286 days of uncertainty.

And they made it.

If THAT isn’t the ultimate lesson in patience, endurance, and problem-solving—I don’t know what is.

Hats off to these legends for not just surviving, but making history.

Next time life throws unexpected delays at us… let’s remember:
At least we’re not stranded in space.

Life will throw curveballs. Your plans will go sideways. Things will take WAY longer than expected.
But if these astronauts can survive nine months in space instead of eight days, you and I can handle a few detours in life rather than create more uncertainty with speed in life.

In the context of a marital relationship, the statement "If you don't trust me, we should break up" can be a complex and sensitive issue. Here are some thoughts:

*Why it might not be proper conduct:*

1. *Trust issues can be worked through*: Marriage is a commitment to work through challenges together. Trust issues can be addressed and resolved through open communication, counseling, and a willingness to grow and change.
2. ** Ultimatums can be damaging**: Issuing an ultimatum like "if you don't trust me, we should break up" can create feelings of resentment, hurt, and defensiveness. This can damage the relationship and make it harder to work through trust issues.
3. *MARRIAGE IS A COMMITMENT*: Marriage is a commitment to love and support each other through the ups and downs of life. Threatening to end the relationship over trust issues can undermine this commitment and create uncertainty.
Trust is a process*: Trust is built over time through consistent behavior, communication, and mutual understanding. It's not something that can be forced or demanded.
2. *Lack of trust CAN BE ADDRESSED*: Instead of jumping to conclusions and suggesting a breakup, it's essential to have an open and honest conversation about the trust issues. This can help identify the root cause and work towards resolving it.
3. *Breakups should be a last resort*: Ending a relationship should be a thoughtful and deliberate decision, not a knee-jerk reaction to a specific issue. It's essential to consider the potential consequences and explore all avenues before making a decision.

I always say this kids and elders are alike.
Go back to your childhood,
Imagine how your parents used to put your underwear down and make you sleep as soon as you speak.
Used to feed you,
Used to clean your spit. Had to clean the potty too.
When you were sick you had to run.
Sometimes, if you would have been tired of eating wrong, then sometimes it would have been constipated.
If you don't understand then I would have explained you again and again.
Staying up all night for you.

Woke up all night with you in your little pain. Ten times explain the same thing to you. If you were insisting, you would have scolded, sometimes you would have explained with love. But thinking of fulfilling all your stubbornness.
By keeping good things aside that child eats his own choice.
Wherever you go, wherever you stay, they take care of you first.
Just the story of childhood being younger.
And old age after youth, going back to God.
Doesn't matter much.

They also insist on making their talks done, to eat different than what you eat.
You will be angry with you. Again we will agree as soon as we love.
Just like a child needs love, they need respect and respect with love.
Need care like a child, you will hear loud, hands and legs will be painful.
Take care of them as they raised you.
As childhood learns, old age comes out forgetting.

Childhood starts recognizing, forgetting old age.
Many times, they don't recognize their children at a long age.
But you have to remember everything they gave us in childhood.
We will make half of him, he is the biggest Aquarius of life.
Neither their sleep can stop nor potty.
Their machine goes the same way.
Life is similar to childhood in old age.
The only difference is that they make us three or four happy.
And they get heavy on us alone.
This is the difference between us and them.
If you wipe it out, all your baths and pilgrims will be completed here.

I have a firm belief that everything negative can give birth to something positive. It is our duty to penetrate deeply into what is darkness and what is light. We can create love and light out of darkness.

The world is now going through the dark night of the soul—but at the end of the tunnel there is light. I have made up my mind to believe in love and light.

What positive effect can Putin and Trumps policy give birth to? Here comes a few sugestions.

1. Europe can become more united and strong - both economically and militarily.

2. Europe can become clear about its values ​​and identity. This also on the individual plane.

3. Europe cleans up corruption.

4. Europe becomes more socially liberal. This will bring the extreme right-winged towards the center and prevent a third world war.

5. Europe will protect democracy and freedom.

6. Europe takes the initiative in the climate crisis.

7. Europe creates a greater balance between poor and rich.

8. Europe will have a more well-functioning immigration policy.

Dangerous extreme right-wing winds are blowing. The strong become stronger and the weak become weaker. A dualistic mindset that do not protect nature and Life. An unempathetic world where psychopaths and narcissists rule.

Right winged and left winged are opposites - but have similarities. The pendulum can easily go from one side to the other. Too liberal immigration can give power to extreme right-winged parties although they are opponents.

There have been dictators on both the left and right political spectrum.

Leftists have often been associated with communism or socialist systems where the state has had total control.

Joseph Stalin led a brutal communist dictatorship. Mao Zedong's dictatorship resulted in mass starvation.
Fidel Castro ruled Cuba with tight control.

Right-wing dictators have often been associated with fascism, military regimes, or authoritarian capitalist systems. Adolf Hitler combined nationalism, racism, and authoritarian rule. Franco ruled Spain with an iron fist. Now we see right wing Trump more and more acting as an dictator like left wing Putin.

My conclusion is that extreme left or right political systems leads to suffering. The solution is more towards The Happy Middle Way. The Scandinavian countries are good examples. Here we find both wealth, peace and happy people.

Let us not invite extreme right or left parties - and these trends in society.

Darkness and light is a part of the evolution. Let us not hate the darkness - but be very clear about our own standpoint in the light. It is too much polarisation - and too little cooperation. Every political party can teach us something. The most important we need is a shift of consciousness. All actions comes from consciousness.

Prompt: "The human heart has hidden treasures. In secret kept, in silence sealed. The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures. Whose charms were broken if revealed." Charlotte Bronte Write about this quote in your Blog entry today.

Every time I see an old couple walking hand in hand, I don’t just see love—I see a lifetime of choices, sacrifices, and unwavering commitment. I wonder how many nights they went to bed upset, yet woke up choosing to stay. How many arguments they had where pride could have torn them apart, but love pulled them back together. How many misunderstandings they worked through, knowing that the bond they shared was far more valuable than the momentary pain of disagreement.

Love isn’t a fairytale, and relationships aren’t built on fleeting emotions. True love is a decision made over and over again, even when things are hard, even when life tests you, and even when you don’t always see eye to eye. It’s about learning each other’s flaws and still choosing to stay. It’s about seeing the imperfections and loving even harder because of them. It’s about forgiveness, about embracing growth together, and about realizing that no love story is without its struggles.

That old couple? They weren’t always old. Once, they were young, passionate, and just starting out, navigating the unknown of love and life together. They made mistakes. They hurt each other. They probably had moments where they questioned everything. But through all the ups and downs, they never stopped choosing each other.

Real love isn’t measured by the absence of fights but by the willingness to fight for each other. It’s in the silent moments where one reaches for the other’s hand after an argument. It’s in the patience shown during difficult times. It’s in the deep understanding that love is more than just an emotion—it’s a promise.

So, if you ever wonder how some couples make it through decades together, the answer is simple: they never stopped trying. They forgave a thousand times. They chose love even when it wasn’t easy. And most of all, they cherished what they had, never letting temporary storms destroy something worth holding onto.

Because in the end, it’s not about finding someone perfect—it’s about finding someone who makes the journey of love worth every challenge, every tear, and every moment of joy.

The human heart has hidden treasures. In secret kept, in silence sealed. The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures. Whose charms were broken if revealed..all this can be be covered if there is love spelled backward as evol or eternal virtue of lord.

Prompt: What is a significant life change you've recently experienced and how has it impacted your daily life? Write about this in your Blog entry today.



I got a major jolt in life, as my father in law lost his mind, though he was a responsible and proactive person and 5 people's life depended on his shoulder. After he lost his mind, everything went to bonkers and my daughter one of the 5 persons depended on him is facing nightmarish experience. I have recommended these steps to cope up with the changes.

1. **Privacy is your superpower.** What others don’t know, they can’t ruin. Keep your life close to the chest—people thrive on drama.

2. **Loneliness is part of the journey.** Embrace it; it’s an art form all its own.

3. **Remember, everything is temporary.** Life is fleeting, so stay grounded and humble.

4. **Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.** Be kind; it costs nothing.

5. **Your partner mirrors you.** Choose wisely. Seek out her values just as diligently as her looks.

6. **Your mental health trumps everyone’s feelings.** Be a little selfish here; it’s vital.

7. **You don’t need more time; you need fewer distractions.** Focus is your key to success.

8. **Guard your time fiercely.** Not everyone deserves a piece of it.

9. **Surround yourself with those who truly value you.** You shouldn't have to plead for respect and appreciation.

10. **Self-love is not selfish; it’s necessary.**

11. **Treasure those who lighten your load.** They are rare gems in this world.

12. **Choose your circle with care.** The right people uplift you; the wrong ones can drag you down.

13. **Peace of mind is invaluable.** Protect it at all costs.

14. **Stop chasing love; simply live your life.** The right person will come along.

15. **Seek those who embody that “grow together” mindset.** Lift each other higher.

16. **No regrets—just lessons learned.** Dust yourself off and push forward.

17. **Pursue someone proud to have you by their side.**

18. **Never surrender.** Everyone faces tough times; pick yourself up and keep going.

19. **If you feel drained, take a step back to recharge—don’t quit.**

20. **Sometimes, you need to disappear to return stronger.**

21. **Learn from the successes of others, but let their mistakes teach you wisdom.**

22. **Want to be happy?** Stop expecting anything from anyone; nobody owes you a thing.

23. **Everything will fall into place eventually.** Keep that optimistic mindset alive.

24. **Keep grinding—your breakthrough is on the horizon.**

25. **There’s nothing more attractive than mutual effort.**

26. **Stop overthinking it in places where you’re not valued.**

27. **If no one lends a hand, take the initiative yourself. Complaining won't help.**

28. **Obsess over your growth.** It’s the best investment you can make.

29. **A heart-to-heart should never end in conflict.** Open dialogue is sacred.

30. **“I’ll do it tomorrow” is just procrastination in disguise.**

31. **Aim not to stay the same—strive to be better.**

32. **Sometimes, waiting is more powerful than forcing things to happen.**

33. **Not everyone will understand your journey, and that’s perfectly fine.**

34. **Heal so you don’t become a reflection of your past trauma.**

35. **Keep your circle small and your friends insightful.**

36. **If they’re only around temporarily, feel free to let them go permanently.**

37. **People come and go; learn how to stand strong alone.**

38. **If needed, take time to disappear and focus on yourself.**

39. **Some will resent you for refusing to be controlled.** That’s their problem.

40. **Concentrate on your improvement, not on proving yourself to others.**

41. **Never, ever return to what once broke you.**

**Keep pushing forward!**

At a certain age, you’ll stop longing for a companion. You’ll learn not to stress over people and forced relationships. Instead, you’ll start enjoying your own company. You’ll stop feeling awkward over an empty seat in front of you in a café or a large bucket of popcorn all for yourself in a cinema.

At a certain age, you’ll choose sleep over an uncommitted conversation, to stay at home and indulge yourself in classic movies than to force yourself to show up in a Friday night party just to blend in.

At a certain age you’ll learn that moments can also be fun and memorable even in your own company. That it’s never sad to explore life’s corners on your own, that it’s actually more fulfilling and freeing.

At a certain age you’ll learn that you are not getting any younger and all you can do is to make every moment count. That life is a short but meaningful journey; and to make the most out of it, you have to stop waiting for someone to hold your hand and walk the road with you. You have to get up and cherish the walk yourself.

Ernest Hemingway once wrote: The hardest lesson I have had to learn as an adult is the relentless need to keep going, no matter how broken I feel inside.

This truth is raw, unfiltered, and painfully universal. Life doesn’t stop when we are exhausted, when our hearts are shattered, or when our spirits feel threadbare. It keeps moving—unyielding, indifferent—demanding that we keep pace. There is no pause button for grief, no intermission for healing, no moment where the world gently steps aside and allows us to mend. Life expects us to carry our burdens in silence, to push forward despite the weight of all we carry inside.

The cruelest part? No one really prepares us for this. As children, we are fed stories of resilience wrapped in neat, hopeful endings—tales where pain has purpose and every storm clears to reveal a bright horizon. But adulthood strips away those comforting illusions. It teaches us that survival is rarely poetic. More often than not, it’s about showing up when you’d rather disappear, smiling through pain no one sees, and carrying on despite feeling like you're unraveling from the inside out.

And yet, somehow, we persevere. That’s the quiet miracle of being human. Even when life is relentless, even when hope feels distant, we keep moving. We stumble, we break, we fall to our knees—but we get up. And in doing so, we uncover a strength we never knew we had. We learn to comfort ourselves in the ways we wish others would. We become the voice of reassurance we once searched for. Slowly, we realize that resilience isn’t always about grand acts of bravery; sometimes, it’s just a whisper—“Keep going.”

Yes, it’s exhausting. Yes, it’s unfair. And yes, there are days when the weight of it all feels unbearable. But every small step forward is proof that we haven’t given up. That we are still fighting, still holding on, still refusing to let the darkness consume us. That quiet defiance—choosing to exist, to try, to hope—is the bravest thing we can do.

It occurred to Pooh 🐻 and Piglet 🐷 that they hadn't heard from Eeyore for several days, so they put on their hats 🎩 and coats 🧥 and trotted across the Hundred Acre Wood🌲 to Eeyore's stick house. Inside the house was Eeyore.

"Hello Eeyore," said Pooh.

"Hello Pooh. 🐻 Hello Piglet 🐷" said Eeyore, in a Glum Sounding Voice

"We just thought we'd check in on you," said Piglet, "because we hadn't heard from you, and so we wanted to know if you were okay."

Eeyore was silent for a moment. "Am I okay?" he asked, eventually. "Well, I don't know, to be honest. Are any of us really okay? That's what I ask myself. All I can tell you, Pooh and Piglet, is that right now I feel really rather Sad, and Alone, and Not Much Fun To Be Around At All.

Which is why I haven't bothered you. Because you wouldn't want to waste your time hanging out with someone who is Sad, and Alone, and Not Much Fun To Be Around At All, would you now."

Pooh looked and Piglet, and Piglet looked at Pooh, and they both sat down, one on either side of Eeyore in his stick house.

Eeyore looked at them in surprise. "What are you doing?"

"We're sitting here with you," said Pooh, "because we are your friends. And true friends don't care if someone is feeling Sad, or Alone, or Not Much Fun To Be Around At All. True friends are there for you anyway. And so here we are." 💜💚

"Oh," said Eeyore. "Oh." And the three of them sat there in silence, and while Pooh and Piglet said nothing at all; somehow, almost imperceptibly, Eeyore started to feel a very tiny little bit better. 🥰

Because Pooh and Piglet were There.
No more; no less.
