What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life? Laughter, laughter, and more laughter. A day that goes by without experiencing laughter is a lamentable day. Laughter brings people together. Many say that in order to help build bridges between people of different cultures or […]
What TV shows did you watch as a kid? It’s amazing how sometimes we subject ourselves to things, situations, and events that are disagreeable to us. I used to watch the Tom and Jerry cartoon despite disliking each of those characters? I suppose that was a way to […]
