Nietzsche's remark sounds like a clever one, but I think it more true than it might appear. Good choice.
Nietzsche to Seuss, now THERES a philosophical duo!!
Aloha Cloudia...:-)
wow, isn't that amazing!
Moms can definitely reduce stress in their offspring. :)
Interesting study...gorgeous photos.
It's so true Cloudia, Aimee has such a lot of stress at work and nearly every day I get a call at lunch time so she can 'de-stress' not sure if it helps me though haha!
btw loooooved the Dave Clark Five link, they were so groovy right!
Good morning .. happy monday from autumnal NYC
wow...who knew??
Virtual hugs to you! What a great post!
I would have shown them the Godfather. That always relieves stress for me.
I won't characterize them as "great" thoughts but I certainly have a lot of thoughts while walking myself.
Yes, talking to mom, or a great friend is therapeutic.
Belas fotografias e texto...Espectacular....

Love that fact! Mums rule!
Lovely shots too in your post.
That is an interesting study, equally interesting results.
Actually talking to my daughter and grandchild often lowers my stress too.
Skype was invented by genius, that's what my happy parents told me after long conversations with their relatives in other country, Georgia. I think about it after reading your post, the research is so true.
Thank you for visiting and commenting, thank you for remembering!
That's a big tower for i assume a small island.

And your voice, dear Cloudia, lowers sress even more! Maybe you can do a blogaradioaskype show... Aloha, DrumMajor
Dr Seuss was such a clever man. And destressing through a hug or a phone call is always good.
