This is how things work. I posted a picture of a bunny that I had petted and I got reported by a woman from Massachusetts. She has a license for wildlife and I don’t. She has caged animals that she had broken their spirit by caging them, so she can handle them, and show them off for profit. Literally, anyone with money can get a license. Anyways, Facebook, for the first time, sided with me…Thank You, Facebook, but, I deleted the post anyway. I blocked her, but, she had her followers harass me and my followers. Do you think this injured Golden Eagle cared about all that jazz. Here’s Goldie’s story…there was a dead bunny on the corner in the road, the Eagle came down to get it, a car hit it, the Eagle flew up and landed in the road, it was a accident, the Eagle was on a blind corner, but, the driver kept on going. Breezie and I stopped, I checked on the bird, it was alive but wasn’t able to move much. I was so afraid for it, without thinking I bent down so we were face to face, then it clicked, this injured Golden Eagle could rip my face off!! But, when we made eye contact, I knew it was going to be ok. I just picked her up, hugged her so gently, told her it was going to be okay, and set her back from the corner and on the side of the road. I thought I was In luck, Best Friends animal sanctuary in Kanab was only about 20 miles away. I called them, I explained what happened, and how urgent the situation was. They didn’t act that interested. They told me that I would have to take the injured bird myself to them, and Id be responsible for the bill, (and they are the absolute most expensive veterinarians on the planet). I told her I have no experience with moving a Golden Eagle, but, that would be the only way they’d help me, and I told her I didn’t want to have a loose Golden Eagle in my Jeep, and she said, sorry, they couldn’t help me then. Having zero experience with a Golden Eagle, and me knowing there’s no way in heck I’m going to let Goldie die alone in the hot sun, (Kanab, Utah where this happened gets over 100 degrees in the summer) So, I bent down, I explained the situation to Goldie, and moved her farther back from the road. I gave him food and water, he took both from my hand. Breezie and I sat with him for over 4 hours, I gave him more water, massaged his hurt wing, and told him that it was going to be alright. Then, a miracle happened. He all of a sudden had all his energy back, just like that! He jumped up, flapped his wings and flew! He did one circle back around us, let out a screech of joy, and flew off. Amen!! I love animals.

Found in Florida! So one of the owners of a hotel, Judi was walking on the beach this morning cleaning up the junk that washed into shore and finds a bottle with a message in it. There is also some sand and 2 one dollar bills. Once we get it open and read the notes we find out that it is in fact NOT sand. It is the ashes of this woman's husband of 70 years named Gordon. She writes that He loved to travel so she sent him traveling in a bottle with a note and money for someone to call home and tell her where he landed. He started at Big Pine Key in March of 2012 and then went to Islamorada where someone found him. They added a note and sent him traveling again and he landed on our beach in Key Colony. Judi called the wife in Tennessee who was excited to know of Gordon's travels! Judi added her note, we put him in a rum bottle (you know added a little fun to his trip) with the three notes. We added another dollar in case Gordon travels far and a long-distance call is needed. We will be having a memorial service or celebration of his life on our beach before sending him off on his travels.

Her dad told her, "If you marry that man you will never set foot in this house again." Mary soon learned that most people felt the same way. The first years of their marriage living in Birmingham were hell-- no one would speak to them, they couldn’t find anywhere to live because no one would rent to a black man, and they had no money. But they didn't give up.
Gradually life became easier. Mary got teaching jobs, ending up as a deputy head teacher. Jake worked in a factory and then got a job at the Post Office. Slowly they made friends, but it was difficult. Mary used to tell people, "before I invite you to my home.... my husband is black." Some would never talk to her again.
Last year they celebrated their 70th anniversary and they are still very much in love, and never regretted what they did.'

ATTENTION WALMART SNOBS
So I'm at Walmart and the only check out line is backed up and I overheard an associate say, “Oh, they are just too lazy to check themselves out! “
When I turned to look at the line I was furious.
Everyone in that line was well over 70 years old.
You listen here Mr. 20 something year old Walmart Associate. These folks are the back bone of this country. These folks are not lazy. They were not born into a computer generation. While you were playing video games and learning to navigate a computer they were working in the cotton fields, in cotton mills, plowing fields and harvesting crops.
These "Lazy people" can still work circles around you and they have a work ethic and drive that you probably know nothing about. Just because someone doesn't feel comfortable using a self checkout does not make them lazy.
And before I forget it... those lazy people pay your salary. Instead of you and others walking around being judgemental someone could have offered to help them on the self check out.
If you ever have to get your vegetables from the ground instead of the produce department guess who you are going to need help from... those lazy people!
Be careful of the toes you step on today... they might be attached to the butt you have to kiss tomorrow!

“8 years ago, today Iver was born. 👶
My wife, Robyn, who’s brain had stopped working, but her body and heart had been keeping Iver alive for weeks 22-28 of her pregnancy, would be taken off of life support.
The 5 hours between meeting Iver and saying goodbye to Robyn were the hardest moments of my life. I lost my wife, but I was given the gift of becoming a father to my little miracle man. Iver was born 2lbs 13oz, and we spent the next 12 weeks in the NICU before I came home with him.
Today, he’s 8. He’s incredibly smart, funny, caring, outgoing, loving, thoughtful, adventurous, and kind. I’m grateful for every day with this wonderful boy, and for the gift of being his father. ❤️❤️❤️
Happy birthday, Iver. 🎂

Over the last 646 days, not once
Have my kids had to see their mama passed out drunk.
Has my husband had to deal with irrational anger.
Have I blacked out or woke up completely hung over.
Have I woke up filled with regret & wondering what happened the night before.
There’s been plenty of times I have craved a drink or wished I could be “normal” and not go overboard while drinking - but I know that’s not my reality & by truly learning + recognizing that, it’s helped me to stay on track👏🏼
Even tho it hasn’t always been easy, it’s been 1000% worth it! I’m so thankful that I overcame - my life has been a million times more peaceful, beautiful, & happy since I made the choice to make a change🙌🏼🖤

Today I was fired…
Don’t worry, I wasn’t fired from my current employer. I was discharged by my surgical oncology specialists at KU Med. My PA said I look great, no symptoms to be concerned with, and they no longer need to follow me. I arrived home and received my results from my lymphedema scan and a message from my nurse saying it was within normal range and she also won’t need to follow up with me.
This was such wonderful news to receive today.
God is great.

"Yesterday I adopted the oldest, sickest, and sorest shelter dog. I'll never forget his eyes. When I went into the cage he didn't even bother to look, he knew I wouldn't even see him.
Curling around the corner He'd accepted his fate. The volunteer said to me many times... Are you sure this one? Are you sure? YES! This is my dog. He opened the cage and 3 animals fell on me. I ran towards him, suddenly he looked at me as if he saw an angel... I hugged him and told him that now he'll be happy again. Then he sleeps in my lap... probably the first peaceful sleep he ever had.
Give it a life. Give it a hug. They need us."
From a dad who saved a soul.

"When my Nana was put on hospice, the nurse asked her what her goals were. She replied that she wanted to be at my wedding. They reluctantly told her they didn't want her flying anymore (she was nearly 103 years old) and her heart was failing. I knew in my heart she was trying to hang on to get there somehow.
I decided to fly to her with my wedding dress - it was unaltered and didn't fit yet but none of that mattered. I may have lied to my entire family about where I was that weekend, and I didn't tell my friends, so I could surprise everyone with these photos. Words cannot explain how much these moments mean to me. Her smile and her laugh are forever etched in my mind and the love between us will live in my heart. This was one of the greatest days of my life. 😍😍
When I said goodbye to her that night, I think we both knew it would be the last time we would see each other. She grabbed my cheeks with her hands, looked me straight in the eye and said, 'I love you very much' and 27 days later she passed away." 🙏🙏🙏

This is Matrix movie star Keanu Reeves. He was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister battled leukemia.
No bodyguards, no luxury houses. Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and often seen riding a subway in NYC.
When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants, one crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 - On the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account. In his career, he has donated large sums to hospitals including $75 million of his earnings from “The Matrix” to charities.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
In life, sometimes the ones most broken from inside are the ones most willing to help others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought;
To be a caring person. ♥️

I got my dog when I was just 19 years old and a single mother of 1.
I kept my dog.
I kept my dog even though I moved into an apartment and had to pay a $500 pet fee.
I kept my dog when my boyfriend and I broke up and he kept the apartment even though my new place didn't allow dogs.
I kept my dog when I ultimately had to move back in with my parents and she also was not allowed there.
I kept my dog when I had my second child. I kept my dog when his father put all of us through hell and none of us had anywhere to go.
I kept my dog when I had a penny to my name and we all ate nothing but buttered noodles for dinner.
Ten years later I STILL have my dog because she is the very start of the huge family that we now have.
Even though she's getting slow, eating less and turning grey I STILL HAVE MY DOG. I'm tired of hearing and reading about posts that say "getting rid of them because they don't like my new puppy" or "I want a new dog".
Commitment is commitment.
