That's messed up

Leave it to the Germans to come up with something this bizarre. A German toy company is planning to launch a series of plush characters that are, shall we say, "emotionally challenged." Not only can your children snuggle with them, they can be their therapist also! Check out the company's website and visit the asylum for yourself.

Phone calls

If you're not doing anything right now, pick up the phone and call someone you love. Your mom, dad, siblings, anyone that took care of you or has ever been there for you. All it takes is 10 minutes out of your day to say hello, ask them what they had for lunch. I promise you it'll make their day to hear your voice.

One of my best friend's father passed away 2 weeks ago. She was the last person to speak to him before he had a heart attack....Most of the time we don't appreciate our loved ones until they're gone. So take a little break from what you're doing right now to call someone. Don't text, email, instant message, or Facebook them, it's just not the same.
