Do you get overwhelmed when you wake up, and realize you’ve got a super-busy day ahead of you?
Instead of freaking out, try this:
While you’re brushing your teeth, stand on one leg……And think about what you need to tackle. Studies show that balancing on one leg increases blood flow to the area of the brain that controls planning……And you’ll find yourself better able to focus on one item at a time, and map out your crazy day’s schedule.
The story of how these four people all came together inside a hospital room is priceless.
Because before this picture was taken they didn’t know each other.
It all started with a text to the wrong number.
Here’s how it happened.
The woman in the first picture is named Lindsey.
She just gave birth to a little boy.
Her friend was texting about the new baby.
But she accidentally sent the text to a complete stranger named Dennis Williams;
(That’s him with the glasses)
This is how the conversation went:
“We are at the hospital.
Having a baby today.”
Dennis wrote back:
“Congrats lol but I think someone got the wrong number.”
Dennis then said:
“I don’t know Y’all but me and the boys will be thru to take a picture with the baby.”
And that’s exactly what Dennis and his brother did.
They went to the hospital.
Afterward the woman wrote:
“I accidentally text a message about Mark and Lindsey having a baby to a number which now belongs to Dennis Williams and he and his brother came by to visit us and brought the baby a gift!
They were so sweet and kind to do this!
You two are great guys and thank you for giving to someone you didn’t know!
If we all only had this kind of heart.”
Later Dennis posted all of this on his Facebook page.
He wrote:
“Lmaoo Make This Go Viral Man We Didn’t Know Them But They Texted My Phone Saying They Was Having A Baby So We Pull Up 😂😂😂😂Share It So They Can See It 😂😂😂 💯💯 Dennis Williams

Sometimes the best moments in life are the ones that you never planned for.
And just think:
Lindsey and her husband now have a great story to tell about the birth of their child.
Thanks to Denisha McPherson for telling me about this story.
Go ahead and throw your hands in the air like you just don’t care!
Our mind and our movements are connected. So if you jump for joy – you’ll feel more joyful. Our emotions are based on signals from the body – and upward and outward movements can lift our mood.
So throw your hands up like your favorite team just scored a goal!
You just might feel a whole lot better afterward….
I had the need yesterday to reconsider a few things I said when a wiser person would have said nothing. There was no way to get the words back…they were tragically already out there. There was nothing to do except to apologize. (Something I have had a lot of experience with.) Which is probably both a good and a bad thing.
Harder than saying you’re sorry can be letting go of it yourself…but this must be done, we must do what we can to make it right, move on, and be done with it. If we don’t then we may be creating something else that we will regret. We must not let the mistakes and blunders of yesterday creep in and darken the hope and potential of today. I love what Emerson had to say on the subject.
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” ~Emerson

”My son is in a hospital thinking his life is not worth living because 3 kids bullied him every day.”
This is what Brandy Noel posted on Facebook about her son.
Look at that picture.
Especially what it says:
“Mom, they bully me so bad, I want to kill myself.”
Brandy posted this picture earlier this month.
She said she was at her breaking point.
Here’s what she wrote:
This is my Aj.
He is the sweetest, funniest, most loveable kid.
He is my heart.
Unfortunately, he has been being by 3 older boys at an after school program for quite some time.
I’ve tried all I can to get it stopped but no one took it seriously.
I’ve talked to the program director, the parents & even the kids.
The bullying continued.
I knew my son was depressed.
I just didn’t realize how bad it was.
Then, my sweet boy just had enough & the depression & anger got to be too much for him & he acted out.
He is now hospitalized and on suicide watch.
I’m angry.
I’m angry that no one took us seriously.
I’m angry at the children’s parents for failing them & in return failing my child.
I’m angry that these parents couldn’t build their kids up with confidence, so they could help others up, rather than making them so insecure they had to tear others down.
I’m angry the adults in control did not put a stop to it.
And most of all, I’m angry because I have no control over any of it.
My son is in a hospital thinking his life is not worth living because 3 kids bullied him every day.
The one thing that has cheered him up is me reading the texts his soccer team has sent me.
Please share & comment to show him his life IS worth living.
He is my heart & I just want him to know how much he is loved.

Thankfully there is some good news.
Aj is now back home.
And he and his mom have been overwhelmed by the support.
Stay strong Aj.
Your life is DEFINITELY worth living.
As for bullies, I despise them.
They make me sick.
%$#*&^# bullies!
