MEXICO CELEBRATES INDEPENDENCE DAY!

The Mexican War of Independence (Spanish: Guerra de Independencia de México, 16 September 1810 – 27 September 1821) was an armed conflict and political process resulting in Mexico's independence from the Spanish Empire. It was not a single, coherent event, but local and regional struggles that occurred within the same period, and can be considered a revolutionary civil war.[2] It culminated with the drafting of the Declaration of Independence of the Mexican Empire in Mexico City on September 28, 1821, following the collapse of royal government and the military triumph of forces for independence.

FOCUS ON MYSELF!

Focusing on yourself means prioritizing your own needs, personal growth, and well-being. It involves understanding yourself, practicing self-compassion, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating self-esteem. It's not selfish, but rather a necessary step in becoming the best version of yourself. 

THE RORSCHACH INK BLOT TEST

The Rorschach test is a psychological test in which individuals are shown inkblots and asked to describe what they see. The responses are then analyzed to assess personality characteristics, emotional functioning, and potentially, mental disorders. It's a projective test, meaning it relies on the individual's unconscious projections onto ambiguous stimuli.

LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE!

 The saying "laughter is the best medicine" suggests that laughter has a positive impact on overall well-being, similar to how medicine alleviates illness. It implies that laughter can help people cope with stress, improve mood, and potentially even promote physical health. This is according to an article in Wikipedia. I can't assert laughter is really the best medicine but in my case...it definitely is and these cartoon characters and  comedians are an essential part of my well being, so here's a small celebration of those comedians and cartoon characters that have made my life brighter and joyful!

So where in blazes is all my stuff when it goes to The Cloud?
