Big day tomorrow I It’s official. Signed at 8:10am. It was even on TV. Mine really turned blue. Don't forget that tomorrow starts the new Facebook rule (aka... new name, META) where they can use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today!!!
Hold your finger anywhere in this message and “copy” will appear. Click “copy”. Then go to your page, create a new post and place your finger anywhere in the empty field. “Paste” will appear and click Paste.
This will bypass the system….
He who does nothing consents

According to the show 60 Minutes:
Just in case you missed it: a lawyer advised us to post this. The violation of privacy can be punished by law NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. Every member must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.
I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR FACEBOOK OR META TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA. I do not give consent!

Regularly expressing gratitude can influence the brain's molecular structure by altering neural pathways and neurotransmitter activity.

Neuroscientific research suggests that gratitude activates regions like the prefrontal cortex, associated with decision-making and emotional regulation, and the ventral tegmental area, linked to reward processing.

This activation triggers the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, which enhance mood and reinforce positive behaviors.

Over time, consistent gratitude practice strengthens synaptic connections in these areas, a process known as neuroplasticity, effectively "rewiring" the brain to favor optimism and resilience.

Studies, including those using fMRI, show that gratitude increases activity in the hypothalamus, which regulates stress responses, improving emotional balance.

This may also elevate oxytocin levels, fostering social bonding and trust. At a molecular level, gratitude may influence gene expression related to stress and inflammation, potentially reducing cortisol production.

These changes enhance mental well-being, lower anxiety, and improve sleep quality. By consistently focusing on positive emotions, individuals can reshape neural networks, making gratitude a self-reinforcing habit.

While direct molecular changes are complex and not fully mapped, the cumulative effect of gratitude fosters a brain environment conducive to emotional health and cognitive flexibility.

Move your body, sharpen your mind.
Science shows that physical activity doesn’t just strengthen muscles it actively rewires your brain for better focus, memory, and long-term resilience.
Unlike puzzles or brain games, regular exercise boosts blood flow, stimulates the creation of new neurons, and triggers powerful biochemical changes that enhance cognitive function. This is the power of epigenetics your daily habits influencing how your genes express themselves, without changing your DNA.
Research shows that consistent movement can "turn on" genes that protect against neurodegeneration, elevate mood, and improve mental clarity. Walking, dancing, lifting weights whatever gets you moving isn’t just good for the body; it’s essential for brain longevity. So next time you’re looking to boost brainpower, skip the Sudoku and go for a brisk walk. Your neurons will thank you.
