Fun fact: today in 1901 companies in the US were allowed to use the word “postcard” to describe cards they sold that could be sent without an envelope. Before this day, the cards were labeled as “Private Mailing Cards” and commonly known as souvenir cards. I’m writing about this because it reminds me of how whenever I get a postcard from friends who are traveling, it helps me feel happy. Wherever you are reading this, I hope that many things help you feel happy. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.
I set out in life like many idealistic people, with the goal of helping people to live happier and more fulfilling lives. To that end, I've created this blog to spread a bit of cheer each day.

Happy International Tea Day!
It's International Tea Day so I'm writing to celebrate tea! As part of my family is from the UK, they are of the opinion that a pot of tea can help everything: injury, break up of relationship, job loss, the apocalypse, etc. While it might not be the be all and end all of all problems, it does help me feel good and at peace. My favorite teas are English breakfast tea and chamomile tea. Even if tea is not your favorite thing, I hope that you have many things in your life that help you feel good and peaceful. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.

Two things that have really helped me
Two things that have really helped me throughout my life are hope and love. Yes, it's true they aren't tangible things, but hope and love are things I can focus on in times of need. Somehow, having the hope that things will get better and the knowledge that I can love and be love has made all the difference in my life, especially in hard situations. I find that if I can focus on those things, it helps me in making difficult things easier to bear Wherever you are reading this, I hope you have a lot of hope and love in your life and that you can also focus on those things in difficult and good times in your life. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.

One thing that has helped me in times of need
One idea that has always helped me (in good times and bad) is the fact that love will always exist. As long as people are willing to love each other and are willing to express that love by helping each other, there is hope. The fact there are so many people, (including people I know personally) who have dedicated their lives to helping others live better and thrive, gives me hope. With these things in mind, I cannot despair. I send much love to everyone now and always.

The story of a rescued dog
I saw this story of how a dog was rescued after being abandoned during Hurricane Milton. I know the story starts out sad, it does come to a happy ending where the dog was rescued and is now safe and well cared for. I post the story here because it reminds me of how even if/when horrible things happen, there is always so much hope and opportunity for good things to happen and that that goodness can spread. For example, the story of that dog has helped spur renewed efforts to find other dogs forever homes as well. Wherever you are reading this, I hope that you can always find good things to think about, even in difficult situations. I've found that if I can focus on something positive, it does help me in times of need. At the very least, it's helpful to think that there is always hope for something better to come.
