  AWESOME blog, Matt! :) Lots of great tips here and I really enjoyed reading it.
  
  I especially enjoyed your last point. The more I delve into psychology, the more clear our proneness to symbolic acts becomes. I've found studies that show when we cleanse ourselves, we literally feel less figuratively dirty about some bad thing we've done. I've found others that show carrying a heavy load, gets us thinking of "heavy topics."
  
  It's fascinating how those things affect us.2/17

  Great blog, Matthew! Love the topic you chose :)
  
  I like the second point you brought up. Sometimes to brighten your mood it is great to read some happy news or, like you mentioned, watch something funny on YouTube. happynews.com is one of my favorite websites. It pulls stories from all different news websites for your enjoyment. It's a great pick me up when something brings you down or you just need something to keep you going.
  
  Thanks for posting!2/17

Jeffrey VanWingen M.D. posted the blog The 5 Love "Languages".
In the book, The 5 Love Languages, Dr. Chapman, contends that people give and receive love differently among five languages. What love language do you speak in? Is it the same one your partner uses?...

- Jessica Corwin, RD said:
  Beautifully stated, Jeff. I have noticed our own languages of love as well. My husband shows his love by doing (driving me to work, filling the car up with gas, running errands...), while I do so with notes, meals, housekeeping... Thankfully we both recognize the importance of touch and of course those three magical words :)
  
  Happy Valentine's to you!2/13

  You said it, Jeff. "It's not about receiving, it's about giving."
  
  The 5 Love Languages is such an eye-opening book. My husband and I book need words of affirmation and a big love language of his is acts of service through cooking. I really appreciate him for that. I do the acts of service through cleaning.
  
  Thanks for such a great post!2/14

  See, I've always wondered this and I am happy to see more into the inner workings of why gamers game. Also, I admit back in the day I loved playing Gamecube's Animal Crossing game. I know nerdy game. :P Not as capable or cool as games I could have chosen and what the gamers would have chosen. But I could control what my character did in the game and it was a nice break.2/7

  It's so true. I am a coke drinker. I like to say the reason is the taste. For me I like a more bitter taste than sweet. BUT when I was little (and still today) I was a HUGE fan of their polar bear advertisements. So I am sure that has something to do with it.
  
  Also, random thought....I loved charlie brown when I was little...ironically I am wearing brown pants and a yellow shirt today. Ah! :)
  
  Awesome blog, Dayton!1/31
