Good morning Member

Good morning, GrayViners! ā˜€ļø I hope you’re easing into the day with something warm in hand and a quiet moment to yourself. Every decade carries its own energy, lessons, and surprises, which made me wonder… if you had to relive just one, would you choose your 20s or your 50s and beyond? No other options allowed. 😊 Pop into the forum to share your pick and what makes that decade stand out to you. I have a feeling this one will spark some wonderful stories.

Take a little trip down memory lane, it’s ā€œWould the Grandkids Know This One?ā€ time! Remember this old phrase? ā€œCatch you on the flip side.ā€

Share your answers here for a shot at next week’s spotlight! If you played last round, check the shout-outs—you might spot your name. We’re covering potential $1,500 monthly payments in some states, $1.3M in cash tied to past purchases, a product recall worth checking, plus a Taco Bell favorite making a comeback—and more.

A Tiny Toy, A Tender Turn

Rejected by his mother and pushed aside by others in the troop, baby macaque Punch had only a small stuffed doll to cling to. He carried it everywhere, grooming it and sleeping with it as his one steady comfort. Then, quietly, another monkey began to sit beside him and groom him—a gentle sign that he finally belonged. Have you ever seen a small act of kindness change everything? If you’ve witnessed a tender moment like this, we’d love to see it. šŸ’šŸ’›
