The Perfect Stick
Crocodiles have at least one design flaw. If an insect bites a crocodile in the middle of its back, the crocodile’s legs can’t reach that spot to scratch. This is exploited in the Northern Territory by March Flies, which stab into the soft parts between the impenetrable, shell-like, outer casing of a crocodile. Whilst more irritating than serious, the blood of crocodiles doesn’t clot easily. So affected crocodiles, theoretically at least, could bleed to death from these itchy bites on their backs.

Philosopher Epictetus Thinks Being Clingy Is Not Worth It
Clinging to things out of our control only gives us pain, agony, and suffering but being content in controlling ourselves is the true mark of happiness. The outside world has no control over our happiness unless we allow the world to have it. This is what the famous Philosopher Epictetus believed.

Before following your gut instincts, do this...
We all heard the cliche sayings like "listen to your gut" or "I just have a gut feeling..." but do we actually understand what it means to listen to your gut? Because if I'm being honest, I never understood how to. The only thing my gut ever told me is that maybe if you didn't eat that pint of ice cream last night you wouldn't have to unbutton your pants every time you sit down. Well, now that there is a lot more research being done and readily available information on gut health and the community of bacteria living there, I took the opportunity to educate myself on just how much influence our gut health has on our body and thinking minds and it turns out, it plays a MAJOR role in just about every small to life-changing decision. Knowing this key piece of information should make you think twice before really listening to your gut, however.

Here’s Why You’ve Been Missing Out On Great Sleep: 6 Benefits Of A Hybrid Mattress
When it comes to sleep, I don’t mess around. My bedroom is my sanctuary and getting into bed after a long day is something I look forward to probably more than I should admit. But it wasn’t always like that. I spent so many years of my life being a “bad sleeper” and never really knowing why. I blamed my lack of good sleep on my night owl tendencies and my so-called insomnia. In my early 20s, I’d sometimes lie awake until 3 or 4 in the morning because my mind and my body could never sync up and allow me to get comfortable enough to sleep. I knew my lack of quality sleep wasn’t good for my health and I tried almost everything on the market to improve my sleep. From different supplements, sleep gummies, essential oils, weighted blankets, sleep masks and even white noise machines, I literally tried it all. Little did I know, I wasn’t addressing the root of the issue — my mattress.

A Walk of Gratitude
Every fall, when I see the trees so willing to shed their decorative attire, I wonder if there is any part of them that is embarrassed to be so naked. To expose themselves to the world. Do they worry that we will not see their barren branches in the same way that we do when their buds of rich emerald give birth to new leaves in the spring? Do they look down and feel dull now that the last of their ruby and citrine coats have fallen and now drift at their feet? Or are they thankful to have the weight that they have carried this past year drift away, leaving them lighter and ready to rest?

This weekend was the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. It is a holiday celebrated at various times throughout the year by other countries as well. The premise surrounding the day is to be grateful, and that is a lovely notion.
