"I'm afraid I'm going to forget them..." said Rabbit.

"You won't," said Bear. "The sound of their absence will be far too loud."

Prevent Glaucoma

With age, our eyes often lose their ability to see clearly. This may be linked to the health of the central part of the eye – called the macula - responsible for central, accurate vision and light absorption. Over time, it loses colour pigments on which it relies, and our vision can suffer, as se....

Look for me

I'm here

in the glint of your eyes
and the lilt of your laugh

Close your eyes
there I am
where the lights glow
soft and warm

In the quiet moments
where your thoughts
drift

And in your dreams
late
late
at night

Look for me

In those moments
when you think you're alone
and you take a deep breath

and wonder

"Where have you gone?"

I'm here
by your side
holding your hand
loving you as I always have
and will

forever more

Being positive is great.

But! As the saying goes, sometimes too much of a good thing can be bad.

Telling someone who is feeling anxious or scared or uncertain to just be positive and that everything will be okay or that it could be worse can seem insensitive and invalidating to that person.

Let them be who they are and be true to how they feel. These are normal emotions. One's that we all face at some point or another.

What to do instead... listen. Try to understand. Think back to a time when you were feeling anxious or scared or uncertain. Or... be honest with yourself. Maybe you're feeling those things, too. If you are. That's okay. ❤ It's normal.

What isn't normal is faking how you feel or doing so because others say you should.

Be yourself. Your feelings are valid, and so are those of others.

Strokes happen when there is a clot or rupture in a blood vessel, keeping the brain from getting the oxygen it needs. Brain cells die *so* quickly your brain can age 3.5 years in just one hour without treatment. That's why it's important to BE FAST.
