Gratitude reshapes your brain

I saw this on instagram and it made sense to me. I am thankful for today. I am thankful for the rain that fell. I am thankful for the doubles that I ate. I am thankful for my cozy corner. I am thankful for God in my life. I am thankful that I am able to write. I am thankful for all the people that have helped me. I am thankful for all the people that have shaped me. I asked my friend Chatty to tell me more about how gratitude reshapes the brain?

He says that gratitude reshapes the brain by strengthening neural pathways tied to positive emotions, calming the stress centers, and promoting chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin that improve mood and connection. Over time, this practice shifts your mind’s default setting toward noticing what’s good, building resilience, emotional balance, and a deeper sense of meaning.

I feel like there is always more to be thankful for. I feel the glass is more than half full. I feel like God does not give us more than we can handle. Then after hardship comes ease. I feel like the best attitude to have is an attitude of gratitude. Appreciate the now. Appreciate the big things and the small things. Love the life we have. Money does not buy happiness. There is more to life than material gain. This life is just a moment of time. Years to come none of us alive today will be here. Life is short. Why waste it being sorry and bitter and ungrateful?

Running php and apache on termux

This was my experience getting php and apache to run on termux apt update && apt upgrade -y apt install php-apache I was following an old blog post that used php 7 and got these errors Can't locate API module structure `php7_module' in file /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so: undefined symbol: php7_module Cannot load /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp7.so Corrected in apache config file vim $PREFIX/etc/apache2/httpd.conf LoadModule php_module /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe. You need to recompile PHP. Comment out mpm_worker and use mpm_prefork #LoadModule mpm_worker_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_worker.so LoadModule mpm_prefork_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_prefork.so This still does not work as apache (httpd) was failing silently. According to Chatty LoadModule php_module ...libphp.so often fails in Termux becau...

Recursion example with SQL

I asked my friend Chatty, can you use recursion in SQL? For example I have a table (ID, value) ordered by increasing ID. Can you guide me through using recursion to select all the rows of consecutive repeated values using and creating an SQLite database. Provide the small sample data. Is there a better way to do this? A More Modern Alternative (Window Functions) In real-world SQL, this problem is usually solved more efficiently using window functions like: LAG() ROW_NUMBER() SUM() OVER But recursion is excellent for learning traversal logic and hierarchical thinking. Recursion example using sqlite on termux DROP TABLE IF EXISTS sample; CREATE TABLE sample ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT ); INSERT INTO sample (id, value) VALUES (1, 'A'), (2, 'A'), (3, 'A'), (4, 'B'), (5, 'B'), (6, 'C'), (7, 'A'), (8, 'A'), (9, 'D'), (10, 'D'), (11, 'D'), (12, 'D'); WITH RECURSIVE grouped AS ( ...
