The SNOW LEOPARD likes it! "The bharal or Himalayan blue sheep or naur, Pseudois nayaur, is a caprid found in the high Himalayas of Nepal, Tibet, China, India, Pakistan, and Bhutan." I show you WWF MAXIMUM CARDS / MAXICARDS / DORINCARDS from TAJIKISTAN, of all places just mentioned. :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BharalDo you see any heart shape in those 4 dorincards at the top?

Zoom in, and you'll see a small black heart, a little sideways, on the leftiest knee (as WE look) in the lower-right maxicard.
Also, as an added bonus, an upside-down furry white heart, fuzzier than fuzzy logic, cornered near the groin area, in the same lower-right image.
Then again, in that area you should NOT expect much logic.
Fur-get it.

Don't let others stress you out – The Chart - CNN.com Blogs. "It reminds me of something Oprah once said she learned from Jill Bolte Taylor, the brain scientist who wrote “My Stroke of Insight”: “You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you’re responsible for the energy that you bring to others.” " Also, I show you my MAXICARD from CANADA with The COUGAR (Puma concolor), showing this feline relaxing on a mountain, away from it all
Don't let others stress you out – The Chart - CNN.com Blogs
"The first is to change the world – or at least the parts of the world you expose yourself to. You can do this by, say, turning off the television, not seeking out the goriest movies, staying away from the divisive forces in your life.
"The first is to change the world – or at least the parts of the world you expose yourself to. You can do this by, say, turning off the television, not seeking out the goriest movies, staying away from the divisive forces in your life.
The second is to change your mind – that is, change your mental activity, either through attention or thinking. You can be exposed to something nasty, but you can shift your attention in a very rapid way so that you think of other things that are more positive or neutral. Say you’re stuck in a meeting with people who are very toxic. You can develop the capacity to shift or modify your emotional focus, and that can be immensely powerful.
The third is to change your body and how your body is responding. Gross suggests trying deep breathing or relaxation techniques to keep your body calm.
“We find in our work that people can use each of these strategies and it really changes the emotion and stress response – both the physiological and brain response and the brain areas associated with emotion generation.”
Goleman echoes this recommendation: “We are masters of our inner world. We can intentionally practice methods for relaxation that will counter the stress of negativity. The more we practice, the better it works as an inoculation against toxic environments. Find a relaxation method that works for you and practice it daily – the same way you would an exercise routine.” [MY NOTE: like jogging; or blogging; or "hobbying"]
And then there’s the flip side of contagious stress: contagious joy, happiness, bliss. Emotional contagion applies to positive emotions as well.
“Happily so,” observes Goleman. “When we’re with an upbeat person, we’re likely to catch their mood too.”
It reminds me of something Oprah once said she learned from Jill Bolte Taylor, the brain scientist who wrote “My Stroke of Insight”: “You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you’re responsible for the energy that you bring to others.” "

Top 30 Stamp Collecting Blogs, by guidetoartschools.com

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
