๐Ÿ’ Flowers & Gratitude

    ๐Ÿ’ Mark Hurst from Creative Good:

    The next time youโ€™re feeling depressed, hereโ€™s what Iโ€™d suggest: Find something broken in your home, imbue that broken item with all of your negative emotions, and go get it fixed โ€“ at a repair cafe. Repair cafes are community gatherings where volunteers repair the items brought in by guests, for free… The day I visited, there was a palpable energy in the room: alive, positive, and even hopefulโ€ฆ

    I love this. Find a repair cafe near you!

    ๐Ÿ’ Things that deserve their flowers:

    • Cold brew in cold weather
    • Wired headphones
    • Art chats
    • Hooks to hang belongings in bathroom stalls
    • Finding nice furniture on the sidewalk in NYC
    • Unexpectedly seeing someone you know on a subway car
    • Belly laughter
    • People who tell you when thereโ€™s something stuck in your teeth
    • Drinking fountains with long arcs

    ๐Ÿ’ Things that deserve their flowers today:

    ๐Ÿ’ I’ve mentioned this before, but I am truly rooting for guys like iShowSpeed. His tour of Africa was such a fun showcase of nations, ethnicities, and culture. Watching him do interviews out of character always reminds me how polite, intelligent, and successful he is–at only 21 years old!
