OPTIMISM DOES THE BODY GOOD

Morning Beautifuls!

Over the weekend, I read a really great article on a topic that, I'm sure most of us already know. But I just had to share it anyhow. It's regarding a study on optimisms effect on the immune system.

Psychological scientists Suzanne Segerstrom of the University of Kentucky and Sandra Sephton of the University of Louisville recruited first-year law students by sending them a packet during the summer before classes started. The 124 students who participated in the research were studied five times over six months.

The students' general outlook on life -- whether they had an optimistic disposition -- didn't account for the differences in immune responses between students. But as each student's expectations about law school waxed and waned, their immune response followed along, the study said. At more optimistic times, they'd have bigger immune responses; at a more pessimistic time, a more sluggish immune response, the researchers said.

All the more reason to stay focused on the good and positive.

Have a wonderful day!

IT'S GOOD NEWS MONDAY!!

Hola Beautifuls!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was great! I pretty much stayed busy helping/supervising the mounting and displaying of my daughter's science project. And that was aside from working on staying warm. Lol.

Let me welcome all of the recent followers to my blog. It certainly is a pleasure having you here. Just so you know, on Mondays I like to post about some good, positive and/or encouraging news. Sometimes I'll mix it up and post a inspirational poem or quote. Just as long as its all good. I love to set the tone for the week by starting it off right.

Speaking of which....

I first heard about this good news a week or so ago. When I first saw it on the news, I teared up. And still do. It's so heartwarming. Regardless of your faith, religion or spirituality, this is touching. I'll let you watch the short clip and see what I mean.



Happy Monday.
With luv,
CO

By the way, send me an email if you've heard of some wonderful, inspiring and/or encouraging news. It can be about you, someone you know, something you know of, etc. etc. Doesn't matter. Just share. You never know who is in need of reading/hearing something wonderful.
