There are few things like a puppy to bring life into the cold winter days! We were very lucky to find this four month-old Feist puppy at a rescue shelter--a breed that I am surprized is not a household name for they make wonderful household pets. This little one defines the word frolic. Even with the house turned topsy-turvy, it's hard to imagine life without her.

Memory Fading? Observe Its Daily Fluctuations
If you find yourself being more forgetful, consider the time of day and the
situation before you worry that your mental prowess is
fading. People's memory and attention fluctuate throughout the day. Plus,
negative emotions and stress affect these daily fluctuations causing people to
have less control over their ability to pay attention and reducing their
motivation to focus on tasks. These outcomes seem to help explain the
negative downward spiral that low performing students gets trapped in as the
stress they experience reduces their ability to focus and zaps their
motivation.
