We all know that nobody is perfect, and if we’re lucky, the people who are going to be most accepting of that are our families. While it is true that plenty of people have the misfortune of having unsupportive relatives, many more know that they can rely on theirs in the event that they make mistakes or fall on hard times.
Depending on the circumstances, this can sometimes involve the lending or spending of money, and sometimes, this money is not an insignificant amount. Even for family members who have a close connection, this can become a source of tension or drama if they are not careful, and with those who have a more difficult relationship or are especially entitled, the chances are even higher.
Simply put, gratitude and recognition are important when someone is helped out of a tight spot by a family member. Without it, things can quickly go sour.

When you get invited to a party, odds are you expect to party. You’ve gotten up the gumption to take a shower, put on a nice outfit, and leave the house. And that takes a lot. So you’d like to be rewarded by a celebratory atmosphere. You want to know that your good efforts were worth something. You want to socialize, to laugh, to dance, to eat some finger foods, and to generally feel a little fancier than you normally do. You put on your good pants, after all. The last thing that you want to do is… manual labor.
This is like when someone invites you to a “moving party” where it turns out it’s not a party after all but rather a chance for you to help them put all their belongings into boxes. Sure, maybe they provided pizza, but movers get paid good money to do what you’re doing as a favor.

It’s summer now, whether you like it or not! While some folks—usually the ones living in hot or humid climates—detest summer, there are those of us who wait all year for the iced drinks, cookout food, and summer months of the year. We crave tank tops and shorts, sliding our flip flops over bare feet to walk on the hot pavement. The sun crinkles our deepening crowsfeet, but there’s nothing quite like the happiness we feel in summer.
Reminiscent of the days when we were kids, riding our bikes until the street lights came on, summer is a time of freedom. Drop your responsibilities and call out of work for a pool day and sip a delicious fruity drink with a pair of sunglasses on. Instead of boiling in the heat, embrace it and let it wash over you. For this, too, shall pass, and we might as well enjoy every moment of it.
So find your happy place this summer—even if it’s at the movie theater to enjoy the free AC—because these are the months that we’ll always look back on fondly.
We’re officially in the dog days of summer. The sun is out all day… and night. Of course, it’s up to you how you’d like to spend your summer. Maybe you’re lucky and you’re a kid who has the summer to yourself, free of responsibilities, except maybe you have to read Hamlet before you come back to school in September but we all know that you’re just gonna Spark Notes it in the last week of vacation. Maybe you’re an adult and your summers are not so different from any other time in your life other than you get a little bit more FOMO when you’re in the office and it’s a sunny day.
Or maybe you’re making use of it by going on trips, seeing friends, going to the beach, and eating every popsicle in sight. Whatever you do, you need some sort of entertainment along the way. Maybe you need a good beach read to accompany you when you’re posted up by the waves. Maybe you need a good summer blockbuster as a reason to escape the heat in an air-conditioned movie theater.

We are all living in a golden age of mattress technology. I take it for granted that I can order a mattress right to my apartment in a box without going to a mattress store and have no problems with it. I am forever grateful that I was brought into this world after water beds went out of style. I have seen Edward Scissorhands, and I’m not confident that a similar situation would not happen to me if I had a bed filled with water (I can be a little clumsy with my scissors, what can I say?)
I take it even more for granted that I’m sleeping in a bed at all! To be honest, all this reflection is making me realize how comfy my life is. I could be sleeping on the floor every night! I could be sleeping on a bushel of hay in a barn. I’m grateful I get to roll over in my full bed from Wayfair every night, and if you feel similarly, you can enjoy even more abundance with these funny memes.
