Love, Birds & Happiness
When you’re in love, everything seems special: the birds sing so sweetly, there is beauty all around you, and you can’t stop smiling. If only there was a way to bottle this feeling and pull it out on days when you don’t feel so good! Maybe we can… Scientists have discovered we have mirror neurons…
