In the olden days we only had to remember 1 phone number (landline) to a house for every in that house. Nowadays every individual has a mobile number so even more numbers to memorise, plus mobile numbers are longer than the landline ones.
I’m quite amazed that my wife can enter her long credit card number off the top of her head, not sure if that’s a good thing or not 
(guess who foots the bill)
I have to read it off my card and type it in every time when buying online which is not often so don’t commit it to memory.

y’all, I can’t stress this enough, with my bout of depression last year at and around Christmas was bad. but this year seems like I don’t have it as bad.
I’d like to share something with you I just found, theres 3 things here that describe me. so do read this and think of someone you know that is ;lonely, depressed, etc.
Why It’s Important To Notice Loneliness
You can’t help what you don’t know.
“Awareness can help with empathy and understanding how you can be there for someone,” explains Reena B. Patel, a positive psychologist and a licensed educational board-certified behavior analyst. “Once you are aware someone is lonely, you can help and act on this by making an effort to include them and check in on them.”
Dr. Tallent shares similar sentiments. “Understanding when someone might be exhibiting signs of loneliness could potentially help them get the support they need before it develops into depression, anxiety, or suicidal ideation,” she says.

11 Phrases That Signal a Person’s Lonely, According to Psychologists
Here are some of the most common ways a person may be saying “I’m lonely.”
1. “I’m lonely.”
While some people may be more subtle, others will outright tell you how they are feeling. Each approach is valid, and Dr. Tallent advises friends and family to take this straightforward confession seriously.
“Once someone says this, listen and ask them what would help them feel more connected and help them do that instead of just offering suggestions,” Dr. Tallent says.

2. “I’m fine. I’m just tired.”
It may be plausible, but the underlying reason for this fatigue could be loneliness.
“This is a great indicator that the person is struggling and feelings of tired might actually indicate emotional fatigue and sadness,” Patel explains.
3. “I need some friends.”
You may especially hear this phrase during the holiday and summer party seasons.
“Each party, each social setting, and each holiday card can be a reminder of what someone doesn’t have,” Dr. Tallent says.

4. “What are you doing this weekend?”
Sometimes, Dr. Tallent says, this question is just a friendly one—perhaps one that precedes an invite. Other times, it’s an alarm bell that a pal is feeling isolated.
“It might also be a way for someone to fish for an invitation without appearing to do so,” she shares. “If someone asks you what you are doing, and you have room or space in your schedule to include them, consider inviting them to come along.”

5. “Are you doing anything today?”
A variation on No. 4, Patel says this phrase could be a person’s way of trying to connect.
6. "I never have plans.”
Dr. Tallent says this phrase signals that a person wishes they had a busier social calendar.
“Invite this person along on even mundane tasks if you are able,” she recommends.
For example, she suggests saying, “I’m going to grab dinner and go grocery shopping later if you want to join?”

7. “I am bored.”
These three words can be a powerful admission of loneliness.
“They are outright telling you they have nothing to do and are seeking plans,” Patel says. “Someone who is not doing anything but content wouldn’t label that as bored.”
8. “No one cares about me.”
Dr. Tallent says this phrase is one to take seriously.
“This is a red alarm that someone is feeling lonely and that they aren’t cared for,” she explains. “Ask what would make them feel cared for, and try to help them move in that direction.”
You may want to also recommend therapy.

9. “No one would notice if I wasn’t here.”
This phrase is a sign a person is in distress.
“This statement is definitely a red flag and is commonly a silent call for help,” Dr. Tallent warns. “Listen. This is a signal that someone is experiencing depression, and therapy would be an excellent resource.”
Importantly, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline number is 988 and provides free, confidential support 24/7 in English and Spanish.
10. “I am busy with work."
This phrase could be genuine, but some people use work to mask loneliness.
“They are diving into something else that might side-track them from their feelings,” Patel says.

11. “I don’t feel well. I’m just going to go home.”
Sick happens, but if a person is chronically leaving early due to illness, it may be worth digging deeper (if you feel comfortable).
“Missing plans, being sick often and leaving abruptly can all be signs that someone is experiencing loneliness,” Dr. Tallent explains. “Check in on these individuals and ask what they would like to do.”

3 Ways To Help Someone Experiencing Loneliness
1. Listen
It’s tempting to want to solve the problem, but Dr. Tallent says listening is often the best way to go.
“First, I always recommend listening to what someone is feeling and what they think could help,” she explains.
From there, you might help them get involved in something they enjoy, such as pointing them to the website for a local animal shelter if they want to start walking homeless pups.

2. Encourage social media breaks
Social media is supposed to connect us to people anywhere, anytime, but Dr. Tallent says the opposite is often true. “Social media can contribute to feelings of loneliness, so encourage your friend/family member to take a social media break,” she shares.
Help the person by scheduling offline meet-ups or phone calls.
3. Follow up
You may have devised a plan that you felt was promising. However, Dr. Tallent says that working through loneliness can take more than one conversation.
“It takes a lot of mental space to take action when you are feeling lonely, so check in with them often and try to support them in getting connected with resources,” she recommends

That’s so true, I did memorize a lots of numbers, now I have to memorize lots of passwords and my brain is just fuming… more companies (websites) more passwords, even numbers for unlocking phone etc…
We are slaves to digital advancements…
For the same reason I gave up Face-book aka (entire word was censored, lmao) Fraudbook, it was ok in past, but it got too invasive, data harvesting and too much time consuming… I don’t have instagr nor visiting tik/tok… it’s all time consuming.
Working on laptop and news reading is time consuming as well… watching dramas too 
it will just get worse, and we’ll get more restrictive laws and permitting all the tracking and data selling… in Europe the laws were stricter and since summer now more is allowed and I’m upset, it prevents me to access website just to search for a product.
Why are over 400 partners needed for combining devices and following surf activity??
Anyway, I just also want to share a sad or tragic occurrence in Prague just before xmas… A very sad day in this country… that never had such a tragedy for so long and this young man, likely with disturbed mind has been on the list and warned but public office didn’t take it seriously or reacted too late.
May the 14 victims RIP and may family and friends be comforted. 
To you all, wherever you are, be safe and watch out, the world is chaotic, may there be Peace 
soon!

sometimes we think too much about us, these short stories are from a friend of mine, I hope you enjoy and just think about it in your own life.
GOOD SHORT STORIES
- Today, I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paperI’m working on for my Psychology class. When I asked her to define success in her own words, she said, "Success is when you lookback at your life and the memories make you smile.”
- Today, I asked my mentor - a very successful business man in his 70s- what his top 3 tips are for success. He smiled and said,"Read something no one else is reading, think something no one else is thinking, and do something no one else is doing.”
3**. Today, after my 72-hour shift at the fire station, a woman ran up to me at the grocery store and gave me a hug. When I tensed up, she realized I didn’t recognize her. She let go with tears of joy in her eyes and the sincerest smile and said, "On 9-11-2001, you carried me out of the World Trade Center.”** - Today, after I watched my dog get run over by a car, I sat on the side of the road holding him and crying. And just before he died, he licked the tears off my face.
- Today at 7AM, I woke up feeling ill, but decided I needed the money, so, I went into work. At 3PM I got laid off. On my drive home I got a flat tire. When I went into the trunk for the spare, it was flat too. A man in a BMW pulled over, gave me a ride, we chatted, and then he offered me a job. I start tomorrow.
- Today, as my father, three brothers, and two sisters stood around my mother’s hospital bed, my mother uttered her last coherent words before she died. She simply said, "I feel so loved right now. We should have gotten together like this more often.”
that last one really touched me!

always remember a little act of kindness does go a long way, you may have pains, aches, bad news, but giving someone one of your smiles does go a long way.
I found some more, these are to lift you upo, pass them along to someone that also needs an uplift, that very first sentence is a reminder.
- Today, I kissed my dad on the forehead as he passed away in a small hospital bed. About 5 seconds after he passed, I realized it was the first time I had given him a kiss since I was a little boy.
- Today, in the cutest voice, my 8-year-old daughter asked me to start recycling. I chuckled and asked, “Why?” She replied, “So you can help me save the planet.” I chuckled again and asked, “And why do you want to save the planet?” Because that’s where I keep all my stuff," she said.
- Today, when I witnessed a 27-year-old breast cancer patient laughing hysterically at her 2-year-old daughter’s antics, I suddenly realized that I need to stop complaining about my life and start celebrating it again.
- Today, a boy in a wheelchair saw me desperately struggling on crutches with my broken leg and offered to carry my backpack and books for me. He helped me all the way across campus to my class and as he was leaving he said, "I hope you feel better soon.”
- Today, I was feeling down because the results of a biopsy came back malignant. When I got home, I opened an e-mail that said, "Thinking of you today. If you need me, I’m a phone call away.” It was from a high school friend I hadn’t seen in 10 years.
12**. Today, I was traveling in Kenya and I met a refugee from Zimbabwe. He said he hadn’t eaten anything in over 3 days and looked extremely skinny and unhealthy. Then my friend offered him the rest of the sandwich he was eating. The first thing the man said was, “We can share it.”**
The best sermons are lived, not preached.

I found this that I’ve been saving for many years now. I also notarized a letter with my last dying wishes. Why? For 13 years now I had a friend that was strong, healthy, and always at the Doctors doing regular check ups, making sure he took his herbal medicine on time. About 5 months ago he started feeling ‘‘fatigue’’ and one day he couldn’t breath and was admitted at the hospital. It took less than a month when he suddenly passed away (heart failure). I feel guilty thinking how several months before he fixed my flat tire and I think if it might have affected his heart. I was so thankful that we talked for so long, and he looked in such good spirit. He made me realize that I had things I had to put in order; like making sure my organ donor papers were updated, my desire for cremation with no funeral viewing and some other details. When we die is hard for our love ones, but is even harder if we leave things undone, and they have to through their pain do so many things that could have been done beforehand.
To Remember Me
The day will come when my body will lie upon a
White sheet, neatly tucked under four corners of a mattress
Located in a hospital busily occupied with the living and the dying.
At a certain moment, a doctor will determine that my brain has
Ceased to function and that for all intents
And purposes, my life has stopped.
When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my
Body by the use of a machine.
And don’t call this my death bed.
Let it be called the Bed of Life, and let my body be
Taken from it to help others lead fuller lives.
Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise,
A baby’s face or love in the eyes of a woman.
Give my heart to a person whose own heart
Has caused nothing but endless days of pain.
Give my blood to a teenager who was pulled from the wreckage
Of his car so that he might live to see his grandchildren play.
Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist
From week to week.
Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and
Nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.
Explore every corner of my brain.
Take my cells,
If necessary, and let them grow so that someday, a speechless
Boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear
The sound of rain against her window.
Burn what is left of me and scatter
The ashes to the winds to help flowers grow.
If you must bury something, let it be my faults,
My weaknesses and all prejudice against my fellow man.
Give my sins to the devil.
Give my soul to God.
If by chance you wish to remember me, do it with
A kind deed or word to someone who needs you.
If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.
- Robert N. Test

I don’t know why this poem came to my mind, and I’m glad I found it bc in this life everything has its own given time, but so many people out there; don’t even know it…
There are 2 versions to everything in life bc we have an almighty fair GOD.
Did we forget to live?
Or… are we dying?
They changed into 2 versions this poem bc different people see things differently and that’s a fact of life. Some see the glass half full others see it half empty. To each its own.

@angelight313_941,
They are both facts! Life is like that, and then it’s our turn to experience the poem. Either in part, or in it’s entirety.

It’s interesting, but I have to contradict:
- I wasn’t dying to finish school, nor college, I enjoyed it while it lasted.
- I wasn’t dying to get married and have kids, life took a turn and I had kids
and married after
But there is 1 I had, I was counting days when my kids were “lively” teenagers, when they will grow up and finish school 
That was the most challenging including divorce episode in my life!!!
