See what happiness looks like in the brain. Freaky

We all know how happiness feels but do you know how it looks in the brain? See a  myosin protein pulling along an indorphine along a filament to the inner brain's parietal cortex.
The wonders of our brains.

There are even fatness bullies out there.

Do you remember when your mama said: "If you can't say something nice about someone then don't say anything at all." Well, mama is still right. There are fatness bullies out there and they shame someone because of their weight.
These awful comments keep people from being a part of our world.

On death and dignity from Elizabeth Kulber-Ross

 http://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/04/02/deaths-best-friend/ I was fortunate enough to see Elizabeth years ago for her talk about death and dying. My supervisor and friend Nancy took me to this lecture on the stages of dying. Nancy and I worked at the Yaquina Care Center in Newport. This lecture changed the way I looked at death and to this day explains why people, as they die, are processing and going through distinct phases.
