Sharing a friend’s post for those who are struggling…

My reasons are personal about this...maybe if people's heads weren't buried in the sand of ignorance and they took the time to understand, instead of judging and thinking it won't happen to them because they have the perfect family, life would be a little bit easier for people that do experience this! This hits close to home for me, for family and friends who live under this shadow. The days of 'it' not being talked about or being taboo should be over. In the most difficult moments of life you realize who your true friends are, and the people who really appreciate you. Unfortunately, most social media 'friends' aren't true friends. They will send you a "like" here and there, but in reality, they do not take time to read your status if they see it's lengthy. More than half will stop reading right here, or have already scrolled on to the next post on their page. I decided to post this message in support of all those who continue to battle with their mental illness. (Su***de is at an all-time high). Now, let's see who will have taken the time to read this lengthy post right through to the end. If you have read everything so far, please "like" it so that I can put a thank you on your page. More mental health awareness is urgently needed. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean people aren't suffering. Please, try to spare a little of your time with someone who may just want to talk (about anything). Talking can help us all to cope a little more, keeping things bottled up just makes it worse. Most people will say, "if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me, I'll be there to help you" but will they? I believe a select few of my friends will post this, to show their support for those who may be struggling. You just have to copy and paste rather than sharing. I'd like to know who will take a minute out of their day to please write "done" in the comments. Thank you! 1luv......United we stand ....Divided YOU FALL

Tuition since the ‘90s is like paying with Monopoly money. I took out $75K and had 17% interest for grad school. I consolidated later and got it to 8%. I auto paid for 36 consecutive months to bring interest down 1%.You can only “refinance with a consolidation” once per the rules. I never saw the loan amount change even though I paid $600 a month for 15 years. I was also paying my 3 children’s college tuition during this time and paid his part too when their dad backed out. Now it has been 22 years of payments and I still owe $50K. Sure sounds like a scam, doesn’t it? I’ve already paid my tuition twice and still owe $50K.

At UNC, NC State and Appalachian State, school was so inexpensive in 1972 that you could pay off a year’s tuition with a summer or less of minimum wage work. | Analysis

Take notes! There is no manual that comes with parenting but these 9 points are pretty good.

Chances are, there’s something on this list you're missing.

"This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body. " Walt Whitman

“Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy...”

Which of these healthy habits do you start your day with?

It can be easy to fall into a morning routine without considering how it impacts you later in the day.

No day is ever the same but if you add some structure, you'll use each to the best you are able.

Or, if you like, try them all. They work. Science says so.

What are you doing between 5 & 7 am? If you use that time well, you can change your life!

While serving a humanitarian and ecclesiastical mission at the age of 20, I learned potentially the most important lesson of my life.

Challenge your psychological limits! Think positive thoughts!

Olympians often seem to achieve the impossible in competition. But what about the rest of us? New research suggests that even weekend athletes can dramatically extend their physical and psychological limits.
