Neighbour Friendships At Their Best -
It Doesn't Get Better Than This!

My husband and I found a sinkhole in our backyard. When we received a high bid to fix it, we decided to D.I.Y. the project following our contractor friend's detailed instructions.

The job required a few tons of dirt — more than our Subaru Forester could haul. My husband had eyed our neighbour's truck in the driveway. Even though we had lived next door to each other for 11 years, I really only knew that his name was Gary and that he was a retired bachelor.…

Published on 1 Comment on Happiness: Is It Luck or Discipline?

Learn how to cultivate happiness through mindful choices and healthy habits.

Robert Puff Ph.D. - Psychology Today

Have you ever looked at someone who seems to radiate joy and wondered, "Are they just lucky?" It's easy to assume that people who seem to have had easier lives—stable families, good education, successful careers—are simply fortunate when it comes to happiness. Conversely, we might believe those who have faced significant challenges are destined to struggle to find joy.

But is happiness just a matter of luck? After a lifetime of exploring this question, I've come to a different conclusion.

Learning from Life's Challenges

Throughout my life, I've sought out individuals who seem genuinely happy, regardless of their external circumstances. These aren't necessarily the wealthiest, most attractive, or most accomplished individuals. They are simply people who seem to be thriving, despite whatever life throws their way. And when I ask them about the turning point in their lives, the moment that led to their current state of well-being, the answer is always the same: challenges.

These individuals have faced difficulties, just like everyone else. But instead of being defeated by them, they learned and grew from their experiences.…

Learning the Beauty of Small Talk
It can be Beneficial

Whether it's at a party, a friend's wedding, or the workplace, some people just dread small talk. And while these events are great places to meet new people, it can bring more anxiety than excitement for some. They might worry that it will be boring, awkward, or that they'll run out of things to say. Then there are people who believe small talk represents meaningless and trivial conversation. But it doesn't have to be that way! In reality, increased well-being and positivity are some of the benefits of small talk.

Be interested in things

People with hobbies and interests always seem to have a topic or an opinion to share. Get inspired by them, and you'll have a launching point to get someone else involved in conversation.

Get your mind right

If you spend the week before the event anticipating and worrying because you know you'll feel uncomfortable, you're setting yourself up for failure. Try to remember why you're going, whether it's to celebrate a friend or connect with your coworkers.

Reduce anxiety

Some people may approach small talk with anxiety. To curb your anxiety, stay rational and positive.…

Published on Leave a comment on Scientists Show Strolls With Stops Use More Energy Than Continuous Walking

Researchers show more energy needed to get going than later in walks when body is working more efficiently.

Researchers have hit on an unusual tip for walkers who want to burn more calories: rather than plodding along steadily from start to finish, consider taking rest stops.

The advice emerged from a study of volunteers who were put through their paces in the laboratory to measure the oxygen and energy demands of short strolls versus longer walks.

Tests on the participants found that walking or climbing stairs in 10- to 30-second bouts required 20 to 60% more oxygen, a proxy for energy consumption, than covering the same distance in one continuous session, largely because walking is more efficient after several minutes in motion.

“When we walk for shorter bouts, we use more energy and consume more oxygen to cover the same distance,” said Francesco Luciano, a researcher at the University of Milan and first author on the study. “It’s like having a car that consumes more fuel during the first few kilometres than it does afterwards.”

The team launched the study after noticing that many estimates of the energy needed for walking drew on data from people exercising at a metabolic steady state.…

Over the last 2 Years, I have been finding Articles on Benefits of 20 Minute Walks, 10 Minute Walks and 15 Minute Walks as well as 30, 45 and 60 Minute Walks. Now I've found a Flexible Article that addresses Benefits for different lengths of time - for 10-15 Minutes, for 30 Minutes, for 45-60 Minutes and Over 60. And here is that Article, to see what may suit you:

Short Walks Or Long Walks? Best Walking Duration For Maximum Benefits

There is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to walking. Whether you’re opting for short walks to clear your mind or committing to long walks for weight loss and mental well-being. So, whether you choose to walk for 10 minutes or 90 minutes, the most important thing is that you’re moving. Walking, in any form, can be a valuable part of a healthy lifestyle.

One of the easiest exercises to do is walking. It is also a wonderful way to keep in shape without having to buy pricey gym subscriptions or fancy equipment. However, how long should you walk for the best results? The ideal amount of time to walk depends on your individual goals, whether they are related to weight loss, mental clarity, or general well-being.…

Published on 3 Comments on “I am a Cardiologist, and This Is the Summer Berry I Swear by for Heart Health”

By Emily Lawence - Parade.Com

All berries are good for cardiovascular health,
but 2 Cardiologists agree that this one comes out on top.

If you were to stock your kitchen full of heart-healthy foods, leafy greens, nuts, beans and salmon are some great ones to start with. Another top food for heart health is berries. Berries may be small, but they're packed with nutrients that benefit cardiovascular health.


All types of berries (besides poisonous ones, of course) are good for heart health and it’s best to eat a wide variety to get a good mix of nutrients. But if you want to prioritize one type of berry with heart health in mind, cardiologists are in agreement on which type to go for.

The Best Berry for Heart Health, According to Cardiologists

It bears repeating that all non-poisonous berries are good for your heart, but both cardiologists say that blackberries are the absolute very best. “Blackberries tend to have a higher content of fiber and antioxidants,” Dr. Panhwar says.

The experts agree that blueberries are another top berry for heart health. “Blueberries are often highlighted for their high levels of antioxidants and potential to improve heart health by reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels,” Dr.…

Published on Leave a comment on Did You Know That Having A Pet Is Good For Our Mental Health? 6 Reasons!

Hi Folks, I had a lot of time on my hands 20 Years ago and I can see the benefit having a Nice little Pet would be for someone with Disturbed Thoughts of some kind - which Mental Health presents us with often. People often feel Lonely or Bored too, and experiencing Unconditional Love from a Pet that shows affection could be a really Uplifting Experience for them. And this could possibly also serve to snap some people out of episodes of Rumination. I have a Nice Neighbour who really Loves her Bow Wow......she takes him for 15-30 Minute Walks through a Small Park in front of my house and a few streets each day. It makes him very happy. And they love to sit together in her Living Room and play together.
