Let's be careful about fires in this dry season.
Let's especially make sure

and avoid piggybacking electrical outlets.
At the same time,
At the same time,

"In Europe, there is an old saying: 'A joyful heart is good medicine.'
"The German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) also noted that laughter has a positive effect on our health, functioning like a physician.[1]
"True humour is not flippant; it is an expression of an open, relaxed, and generous heart.
"Let us live with 'a joyful heart.' To do that, we must win in life each day, continuously pressing forwards with powerful life force."
