    There are amazingly wonderful people in all walks of life; some familiar to us and others not. Stretch yourself and really get to know people. People are in many ways one of our greatest treasures.

    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

    Interesting assessments in this video. He's got another one that discusses facial atrophy indicating a stroke event. And not the kind involving a 14 y/o girl.

    I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.

    Now that Half-Flat is in a more self-sustaining place, I have returned to massage - this time as self-employed rather than at a studio. I'd rather not be an entrepreneur, but there's no way I could work for businesses that I know are breaking payroll laws and exploiting their therapists. I've been an information resource for others who have found me through massage unionizing, though, and I'm excited that the trend is still running. A spa up in Seattle successfully unionized a few months ago too, making at least three that have made it all the way through their election. ✋💪🤚

    In the meantime, I've launched Serotonin Massage - specializing in therapeutic and trauma-informed massage. It will be nice to get back into the field. For all the faults in the industry, I love the practice. My logo is below.

    Nothing better than a good massage to help work out the physical and mental kinks. A massage therapist did more for me in one session than 2 weeks of PT did, after a rotator cuff repair. It hurt like hell during the massage, as the therapist warned to get rid of a huge knot, but the next day I had more movement in the arm and shoulder than I had, and much less pain. Wonderful fingers and the much needed right touch. I still thank her. Good luck with your new endeavor and for wanting to help others.

    Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

    Betrayal - good quote. I had forgotten the wisdom of Leo Buscaglia.

    On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.

    Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

    I think every single idiotic thing that has been happening is to take the focus off the files.
