Today is Monday August 14th.
I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
Today's word of the day is " family "

**Quote of the day:
"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life." - Richard Bach
As I read above family is defined by a group of one or more parents and their living together as a unit or descendants of a common ancestor. But is that truly the definition of family?
Family is a term that can have different meanings depending on the context and the perspective of the speaker or writer. It can refer to a specific group of people related by blood, marriage, adoption, or other relationship, who may or may not live together. It can also refer to a social group that maintains the well-being of its members and of society. Some people may consider family as anyone who involves love, regardless of their biological or legal ties.
I believe the true definition of family lies not in blood relations but is measured in the amount of love and respect people hold for each other.
Family can mean your best friends, your pets, anyone who gives you that comforting feeling of familiarity. They are the group of people who you know accepts you for you. You feel comfortable, safe, special and that you and your voice matters with them.
They are the ones who stand by you through thick and thin. They are your support system, and you are theirs.
They have each other's back and are willing to go to the ends of the earth to bring a smile to each other's face. A sense of loyalty, selflessness, love and genuine care and concern for others. Including also being brutally honest when need be.
It is such a beautiful thing! You have a sense of belonging.
In this day and age it is difficult to find people who want the best for you without any ulterior motives. We have all been used by someone who claims to love you, and it hurts.
That’s why once you do find that special person, make sure you fight for them to stay, no matter what. There will be hurdles along the way, huge fights where your relationship may seem not worth it. BUT remember, overcoming these hurdles together will only strengthen your ties. You will know when that relationship is not worth fighting for any more. When your eyes are opened to who your dealing with.
I am not saying that if you have an abusive family member or friend that you keep them in your life because they are close or family. You should never stay in a abusive relationship. YOU are worth so much more than that. Boundaries are everything. That is for another word of the day.
So go out there into the real world and find your chosen family. Those who will stand by you no matter what and will always support you no matter what. But also do not forget where you came from because that is where you will always truly belong.

Every day, countless events take place that make our world a bit brighter — we just usually hear about the negative.
For the 1st time, scientists have found marine creatures under hydrothermal vents
Marine researchers found a new ecosystem supported by hydrothermal vents deep under the sea. A recent expedition was led by the Schmidt Ocean Institute, with the team traveling to the East Pacific Rise, off of Central America. They dropped an underwater robot more than 8,200 feet, which "overturned chunks of volcanic crust" and discovered "cave systems teeming with worms, snails and chemosynthetic bacteria living in 75 degrees Fahrenheit water," the institute said. "The discovery adds a new dimension to hydrothermal vents, showing that their habitats exist both above and below the seafloor." They also found that there are tube worm-like creatures moving through passages underneath the seafloor, which travel through vent fluid to "colonize new habitats." These discoveries are huge, as scientists are always looking to better understand the deep sea. Finding a new ecosystem is "truly remarkable," Schmidt Ocean Institute Executive Director Jyotika Virmani said in a statement, and "provides fresh evidence that life exists in incredible places."

If you enjoy pumpkin-spice flavored foods, you likely appreciate cinnamon and nutmeg. Nutmeg adds a warm and spicy flavor to foods and drinks in small amounts. However, in larger amounts, it can cause hallucinations and ultimately be fatal.
