The One Thing You Should Always Have in Your House.....Huff Post:

If there's one thing you should let collect dust in your home, it's thank you cards. Why? One word: gratitude.

The function of a thank you note goes beyond just "thanking" someone for a housewarming gift or birthday present. Rather, such a note can serve as a heartfelt message that shows people you care about that they are meaningful to you. Whether it's your best friend who let you crash at her apartment for a weekend or your plumber, anyone can use a good dose of thanks.

As study after study shows, gratitude is actually pretty powerful, with benefits for people on either end of the equation. According to the UC Berkley Greater Good Science Center, giving thanks can boost the immune system. It's also known to promote a good night of sleep and make you feel less lonely.

While we don't want to encourage you to mindlessly hoard items in your home, we do believe in the idea of purposefully collecting cards. Their presence in your home will remind you to express gratitude, and make it easier for you to do so.

So the next time you're at the dollar section of Target, notice card sets on sale after the holidays, or spot a really fancy set of stationery that catches your eye, pick them up and keep them in a drawer. You never know when you'll have to say thanks next, but we can guess that it'll be pretty darn soon.

From graduation parties to a mall, 10 mass shootings over the weekend leave at least a dozen dead

Source: CNN:

and over 60 injured. (rest of headline)

They were at places that seemed safe -- but few spaces in America are guaranteed safe anymore.
At least a dozen people were killed and more than 60 injured in at least 10 mass shootings this weekend in the United States.

Some were at graduation parties, a nightclub, a popular entertainment district or a strip mall.
The bloodshed comes as the nation grieves a spate of killings this past month, including a massacre at an elementary school in Texas; a deadly assault at a medical facility in Oklahoma; a racist rampage at a supermarket in New York; and an attack on a Taiwanese church service in California.

The US has suffered at least 246 mass shootings in 2022 -- far more than there have been days so far in the year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. That's the same number of mass shootings in 2021 through June 5. In 2020, there were 161 mass shootings through June 5; in 2019, that number was 154. The non-profit and CNN both define a mass shooting as one in which at least four people are shot, excluding the shooter.

Bill of Rights, (including 2nd Amendment...) 1791. I don't think founders of U.S.A. would have

written 2nd Amendment if they knew what was going to happen 200 years later.

....I think those founders had any idea that guns would be so easy to get by so many people. If they had
known, they would have worded it differently. Yes, the founders were very intelligent, and they
had no idea what could happen. (At least that is my opinion

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
