Nap Time, Coloring, Playing...
www.constantinoubrosproperties.com

I'm 21 years old and I'm not afraid to admit that I still enjoy napping, coloring, drawing with chalk, watching Disney movies (and of course watching them multiple times), playing hopscotch, and swinging on a swing set! I don't know why people think that once you hit a certain age you have to be all "business" and you can't do some of the things you did when you were younger. Do you think that you're going to be made fun of if someone finds out that you do these things or that you're somehow no longer in the "adult" category?

I think that you'd find that more people enjoy coloring and especially napping (now that they're older and can appreciate it more) now. Coloring is considered a calming activity....and we all know napping is too. But in all seriousness, it can really benefit your health. Plus, it's ok to embrace the kid inside you again, we shouldn't have to loose it in the first place. I think some of us have truly forgotten what it's like to be young and it makes me sad because we have millions of young people and children in the world who need our help, but we are too busy with our everyday mundane lives to get out there and have fun and help them grow. Even if that means finding the kid inside you again first, I encourage you to do it and, if you're able to, do whatever it takes to get it to come out. Babysit, actually hang out with your younger siblings or your cousins/nieces and nephews, or even if you have to, travel to bring out the adventure in you again. Follow what your heart tells you....in case you haven't noticed, kids tend to do that a lot.

Don't be afraid to embrace your inner Peter Pan (Disney reference...sorry, I had to!). Color. Nap. Play hopscotch. Draw with chalk. Fight some pirates. Be creative. It's something kids are so very good at. So yes, I am 21 years old and I enjoy napping, coloring, drawing with chalk, watching Disney movies, playing hopscotch, and swinging on a swing set...why don't you?

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
