I don't always act like a b***h, but when I do, I'm the lead float in that parade. 14. You can always tell when two people are best friends. It is because they are having more fun than it makes sense for them to be having. 15. And your neighbor's doormat reads, "Nice underwear." 16. Our Creator changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls, and coal into diamonds. Using TIME and PRESSURE, He's working on you too. 17. Next time you think of "skipping a night" with brushing your teeth. Just imagine the thousands upon thousands of happy bacteria in your mouth - pooping acid all over your teeth. 18. SINGLE.

It's not always possible to just drop everything and rest until you feel better. Work needs to be done. Deadlines need to be met. When you're feeling out-of-sorts, it's difficult to tend to things that need doing. (a) Give yourself permission to do less. Most things can wait until tomorrow. Focus on the essentials and let other things slide for a-while. Give yourself a break. (b) Hydrate. Make sure you’re getting plenty of water. Even if you feel like drinking coffee or soda to give yourself energy, make sure you’re drinking water too. It’s amazing how much being dehydrated can make you feel frazzled and depleted. (c) Use paper plates. Order out. Make meal prep as easy as you can. You can go back to cooking and saving when you’re feeling better. (d) Limit time on social media. Social media sometimes feels like an escape, but it can also rob you of time to rest by keeping you alert. (e) Put away your cell phone. Plug it into its charger, and if you can, turn off the ringer. Spending some time a little "disconnected" will help your brain rest, and give you fewer distractions. (f) Hug someone or something. Hug your babies. Hug your friends. Go to Pet Smart and hug a dog if you need to. Having contact with another living being can be calming and healing. (g) Spend some time outside. Sunshine is great. Even if you can go for a quick walk in the rain or snow, the fresh air can be revitalizing. 27. Take life with a grain of salt ... a slice of lime, and a shot of Tequila. 28. That awkward moment when you're trying to end a conversation and the other person won't stop talking. 29. Whiff-Lash - being suddenly knocked upside the face by an overwhelming and awful smell. 30. Don't waste words on people who deserve your silence. Sometimes the most powerful thing can say is nothing at all. 31. What kind of tea is sometimes too hard to swallow ? Reality. 32. Do you think the guy that invented vibrators for women heard voices saying, "If you build it, they will come" ? 33. I thought I was normal, until I met you. Then I realized we're both pretty weird. I like that about us. 34. Am I the only one who calculates how much sleep I can get before going to bed ? 35. There's a teddy bear in every Dutch police car, in case something troubling happens to a child. Dutch policemen are the best ! 36. Did you know ? There's a "rain room" in London that makes rain fall everywhere in the room except the spot you are standing at. 37. When I play a fighting game on the console, I press random buttons and hope for the best. 38. Kissing reduces anxiety and stops the 'noise' in your mind. It increases the levels of oxytocin, an extremely calming hormone that produces a feeling of peace. 39. I'm not needy. I'm wanty. 40. No, you most certainly do not have bigger balls than me. Mine had to be put on my chest to avoid chaffing. 41. When someone you love becomes a memory ... that memory becomes a TREASURE. 42. So if a bra is called an 'around the shoulder boulder holder,' what do they call men's underwear ? The 'over the nut butt hut ?'" 43. You are never too old for Disney ! 44. The only disability in life is a bad attitude. 45. Thank God my child put the milk container back in the fridge with just a few drops left in it. In case I find a recipe that calls for a thimble of milk. 46. Collect MOMENTS. Not things. 47. How others see you is not important. How you see yourself means everything. 48. And when you're hugging your best friend you whisper in their ear, "The slow blade penetrates the shield." 49. I have people telling me, "It's all in your head." To them I say, "Do you honestly believe I want to feel this way ?" 50. Relax. We are all crazy. It is not a competition. Which of these can you relate to ? See you next time with 50 more ...

01. THE VELVETEEN RABBIT

He said, "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or have to be carefully kept."

"Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the joints and very shabby."

"But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

It reminds me a great deal of the movie, A.I. with the boy named David, Avinash. He went through many things - to finally find the end of the world - and the creatures that found him millions of years after mankind - they realized all he wanted was love from his Mother - and they made it possible, just for a day.
