The other day a bird flew into my daughters house. Her first reaction was to scream! Rapid fire thoughts started racing through her head - what the heck is a bird doing in the house? How am I going to get it out? It better not get near my babies! As she tried to shoo the bird towards the window to get it to leave, she turned to her 5-year old and asked if he was scared and he screamed back at her "I wasn't scared until you started screaming".

Have you ever watched the movie Wreck It Ralph? It's an animated movie where Ralph gets fed up being the 'bad guy', losing to 'good-guy' Fix-it Felix and heads off on a quest to prove he has what it takes to be a hero.  Felix is a handyman with a magical hammer and anything he touches with his hammer is miraculously repaired. You may be wondering why I am writing about a kids movie. Well, it's because fixing things feels so rewarding, right? I absolutely LOVE the dopamine rush I get when I can fix something for somebody, especially when that something is for someone who seems especially vulnerable (although oftentimes, that's not necessarily a requirement).
