\u27a2 <\/span>The Make-A-Wish Foundation recently\u00a0<\/span>offered<\/span><\/a>\u00a0a wish to a five-year-old in Missouri named Grayson Nunley who’s fighting leukemia.\u00a0 And he decided to use his wish to help OTHER sick kids.\u00a0 He spent 20 days in the hospital, and asked them to buy more-comfortable sheets for the beds, so other kids would have an easier time.\u00a0 His mom says she asked over and over if it’s really what he wants to do with his wish.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2 <\/span>Zoe Roth, who became famously known as \u201cDisaster Girl when a photo taken by her dad of her grinning at the site of a house on fire became a viral meme, has become a rich 21-year-old after selling the meme as an NFT (non-fungible token) for $430,000. How did the pic come about? In 2005, the Roth family lived 2 blocks away from a fire station, and one day when firemen were practicing putting out a controlled fire, Zoe\u2019s dad thought it would be the perfect time to test out his new camera.<\/span>

\u27a2<\/span> Remember the classic “David After Dentist” video, where a seven-year-old kid was all drugged up after he had a tooth pulled?\u00a0 Well, he’s a 20-year-old college student now, and he’s\u00a0<\/span>selling<\/span><\/a>\u00a0the video online as an NFT,\u00a0or “non-fungible token.”\u00a0 (Here’s the full “David After Dentist” audio.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2 <\/span>So, how good do you think you are?\u00a0 According to a new survey, almost half of people say that they are the\u00a0<\/span>best person they know.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 Taking it a step further 81% also feel that humankind is inherently good and three out of four believe that they’re fundamentally a good person.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Four Things You Can Do in Under Ten Minutes to Increase Your Happiness . . . For Free<\/b><\/p>\n

It’s Friday!\u00a0 If that’s not a good enough reason to be excited today, here are four things you can do to feel happier.\u00a0 And the best part is, they all take less than 10 minutes, and they’re FREE . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Message someone you know.\u00a0 Reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while.\u00a0 Even if it’s just to send them a funny photo or a fun memory that you had.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Organize your errands.\u00a0 Organize all the small errands you need to do and start checking them off.\u00a0 Planning like that helps reduce procrastination so we feel less stressed out.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Check your vacation day balance.\u00a0 Knowing how many days you have and thinking about what you may do with them allows you to visualize ACTUALLY taking a vacation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Watch relaxing videos.\u00a0 When you have a spare couple minutes, try watching some relaxing\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          videos on the internet.\u00a0 Nature videos are especially good for this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          A recent study out of UC Berkeley found that people who watched parts of that BBC series\u00a0<\/span>“Planet Earth”<\/i><\/b>\u00a0felt an increase in joy, amusement, and curiosity.\u00a0 And the videos also reduced feelings of fatigue, anger, and stress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          MOTHER\u2019S DAY GIFT IDEAS (that you can do even during quarantine):<\/b>
          \n<\/span>\u261e<\/span> Make her breakfast in bed:\u00a0 Yes, it\u2019s an oldie but a goodie, but it\u2019s a great way for mom to kickstart her day. Make breakfast as a family while she sleeps, then present it to her along with gifts and a card.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


          \n<\/span>\u261e<\/span> Host a virtual Mother\u2019s Day celebration:\u00a0 If you can\u2019t be with her, meet via Zoom or Skype and bring the party to mom. You can play a game, ask attendees to bake a Mother\u2019s Day cake beforehand, and have Mom open up her Mother\u2019s Day presents in front of everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


          \n<\/span>\u261e<\/span> Clean house:\u00a0 Take something off her to-do list by cleaning house, or handling any of the chores that others depend on her for. Keep it up, even after Mother\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n


          \n<\/span>\u261e<\/span> Set up a scrapbooking session:\u00a0 Better than digital! Buy a scrapbook, print off pics of a family trip or just a few favorites you know mom loves, then get to work. Not only will she enjoy the keepsake, but she\u2019ll definitely love reminiscing.<\/span><\/p>\n


          \n<\/span>\u261e<\/span> At home spa:\u00a0 Let her relax and focus on self-care. Set up an at-home spa\u2026it could be a bath, an elaborate skincare routine, or a massage. Let her relax in a spa-like environment from the safety and comfort of her own home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
