Here's yet another example. Absolutely outrageous- a whole lot of blah blah with no-one actually taking responsibility to resolve the situation.

Blind date: β€˜I could tell we were going to click right away’ Harry, 24 an ecologist, meets Freya, 24, a theatre-maker and cook

Another promising one. Before they go any further, I'd check they're not related (see photo further down the article) www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Completely understandable. Those poor lassies and their families. Another way of looking at it is he had another good 20 years left of the punishment meted out to him by society and we've been cheated.

I thought you'd like to know that I can't do today's at all and am on the point of giving up!

Even those who commit the most heinous of crimes ought to be safe in prison. Otherwise you're ceding justice to another convicted criminal. This should be seen as an abject failure, not some sort of triumph.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Depending on where you live, signs of spring might be happening outside your windows. Many of us do not get to see the change of seasons or if we do we might get a peek here and there.

This poem seemed a lovely way to start the weekend and bring a touch of spring!

In my n-1 experience, one's body being under strain can manifest in HR being both unusually high and unusually low. Don't know if that helps?

"In his statement, Watt positions himself as a victim and neglects to acknowledge how his decision-making put people's livelihoods at risk. 'Heartbreak' is not accountability."

Text based graphic with soft soothing colors or creams and light greens. Text: Reminder to take care of yourself! Step 1: Close your eyes. Take 3 deep breaths. You can put your hand on your chest and feel the movement. Step 2: Take a few minutes (or however long works for you) and breathe in for 4 and out for 6. Step 3: Say something kind to yourself.

This is your reminder to stop a moment & take care of you. So let's breathe together & take a moment to be kind to ourselves.

If the 3 steps feel too much to do- just take 3 deep breaths & say something kind to yourself. Be as encouraging to yourself as you would to a friend.
