When I get up every morning I make my bed. I always have. Did you know that only 50% of people make their bed after they get up. If someone brags a lot . You should only believe 50% of what they say. The rest they just made up. When you smile at others that makes your brain very happy. Smart people have a smaller group of friends,

You are so right about people who brag, I think that believing 50% is making them a favor, I often only believe 10% My husband and I have very few friends, but good friends we can trust.

I know who your best friend is. Your partner who you live with. She is the best friend for you.

@jstory07 Spot on Judy. I think I knew some time ago that I really only needed one true real close friend

I sleep on my couch, so I don’t really have a bed to make. It’s, fold a blanket, and put away the pillow.

Why would smart people have fewer friends?

Maybe they only want real friends not fake ones when they are smart.

Make my bed? Why bother. Hubby gets up later than I do. That means that Rufus my coyote dog goes up and digs into the blankets on my side of the bed and snoozes until hubby gets up. So I make my bed when I go up at night to sleep.

That sounds like a plan for you that works.

I have one person I can call a true close friend and a few good new friends. I run a small circle. I get up, have coffee and then make my bed. I feel undone if it's not made. Great post for thought.

I only have 2 longtime friends. All the others turned out to be fake. When hubby worked 2nd and 3rd shifts, I couldn't make the bed; but I made it when I came home from work so I could sleep on top of the quilt and take a nap with my comforter on top of me. Heavenly. Cousin #2 constantly brags about how smart she is. Maybe she is; but they wanted me to skip 2 grades. She's not the only one with brains! HA!

Most of my friends were good friends but I had to leave them behind when we moved to Oregon. I have a few new friends here and my cousin.
