Sweet & Sour:

Tomorrow is one of my favorite days of the year. The day we turn our

clocks back and get an extra hour! I know what I'll be doing. Getting

some "zzz's"! There are many good reasons to get enough sleep. Did

you know some researchers found fewer heart attacks occur the Monday

after clocks are set back in the fall and more occur the Monday when

clocks are set forward in the spring? Click here for an article on that. And

thank you Serge deFault for telling me about that article!

Elman the Elephant:

These days, a lot of us are looking for ways to save money. We found

a list of budget-saving tips for entertainment, including:
 

  - watching for discount days at museums, parks, theaters, zoos;

  - going in groups and getting a volume discount;

  - trying out a new restaurant during the day for dinner-quality
     food at lunch-time prices;

  - exchanging babysitting duties with other parents.


Click here to see the rest of the suggestions.

What Makes Us Happy
October 18

Ping Pong the Pnda in Gift Box                    Greeting Card - Friendship - ‘Whenever I think of what I’m grateful for’          
      PingPong the Panda - name                                     FRIENDSHIP GREETING CARD   

  

 

PingPong the Panda:

Our “subjective well-being” (how good we judge our life to be) is

determined by natural temperament, learned behavior, and circum-

stances. Researchers differ, though, on how influential a role each

of these factors plays. Some say genes determine 85 to 90 percent

of our happiness (article referenced at the end of this posting);

others say 50 percent.  

 

Here is a list of happiness contributors, from a PsychologyToday.com

article, which we can control in terms of what we expose ourselves to: 


  Friendship

  Sense of humor

  Volunteering/Charity work

  Good self-care (“healthy narcissism”)

  Beauty

  Money, up to a certain point

  Education

  Aging

  Average Intelligence

  Religion (participation in)

  Leisure involving physical activity and socializing

Famous Nappers in History
October 11

 

Sweet and Sour the Pig on pillow        Magnet - to be able to sleep late is divine          
          Sweet & Sour - name                      “To be able to sleep late is divine"                                                                                                                           MAGNET               

                                                                           

Sweet & Sour:

Did you know some of history’s most well-known achievers
were nappers? Geniuses Albert Einstein and Leonardo Da Vinci
practiced the art of the pick-me-up snooze. So did Winston
Churchill, Thomas Edison, and Napoleon Bonaparte. Research
indicates that for many people a brief “well-timed afternoon
nap may be the best way to combat sleepiness, improve work
performance, and overcome late day grogginess….” Click here
