    One Way Out of a Funk: Do Something that Puts a Smile on Someone’s Face – by Dr. Ross Reck

    Blueberry Cake / Pie

    Not long ago, I found myself feeling a bit down. There was no particular reason for it, I was just in a funk. One of the things I have learned over the years is that the quickest way out of a funk is to do something that puts a smile on someone’s face. So, I decided to make a blueberry cake/pie for my grandson Luke who had been sick and housebound for a few days. Blueberry cake/pies are his favorite. After I finished baking it, my wife said, “We have lots of ripe tomatoes in the garden and Mia loves them. Why don’t you take a basket of tomatoes to her as well.” I thought, “What a great idea!” Then she said, “Trader Joe’s has peonies right now, and Katie loves them. Why don’t you stop on the way and get her some.” So, I did. When I walked into their house carrying a box that contained a fresh cake/pie, fresh ripe tomatoes and two bouquets of pink peonies, I was greeted with enthusiastic and grateful smiles from my two grandchildren and my daughter. And, as you can guess, my funk disappeared, and I felt great for the rest of the day!

    You may remember that a young woman was recently abducted from a Target parking lot in Overland Park, a suburb of Kansas City Her body was discovered many miles away in Missouri. They were able to locate her by the sequence of cell phone towers that picked up her cell phone location. 
     
    She had not attempted to dial out, but when her family was trying to call her the towers could sense her phone. Sadly, the authorities were not able to reach her in time. However, they were able to locate her body which was in an area where they never would have searched without the cell phone tower information.
     
    The cell phone ‘locator’ can be either set on:

    1. E911′ … in which case you must dial out to be located; 
    2. or it can be set to be on all the time . ‘Location on’ 

    There is NO higher battery usage from having it on all of the time.
     
    With it on all the time you can be located by emergency services through  the police if you fail to respond (sick, injured or worse). I found that on my phone location’ was not on.
     
    I turned it on so my phone can be traced.
     
    ALL cell phones have this feature. It’s called Location.
     
    It’s under the: Settings tool. (on my phone it’s under Settings, System, Location).
     
    Once you turn this on, THEN your phone is traceable (select ‘Location On’ instead of ‘E911 Only’).
     
    To stay safe, everyone needs to check their phone and turn this on!!!
     
    Please pass the word to everyone you know. Adding a PS here. The idea of using your keys by your bedside or in your hand as an alarm in the event of trouble is an excellent idea. The keys will sound the horn on your car if you use the panic mode. This will work if the car is in the garage or in the driveway. That was sent to me recently.

    This is some good information that everybody should have.
