Gooooood Morning Friends!! I hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL start to your Thursday!!! :) Another day closer to the weekend, and another opportunity to make this day GREAT! :)

So...if you find yourself in a funk, for whatever reason today...lets try playing WHAT MADE YOU SMILE!! :)

For me....it was:

-Waking up early to my adorable little dogs wagging their tails
-Taking a GORGEOUS walk on the beach with them, and witnessing an amazing sunrise
-Sipping some DELISH 'sugar cookie' flavored java on my drive to work
-Singing along to the radio...:)


Whatever makes you smile today, HOLD ON to it in your mind...and if that 'funk' creeps up on you again, chase it away with all of your happy thoughts.. :)

Make it a great day everyone!!!!!
Toodles!

    Well today my post about paying it forward made me smile to know that people will see it and do something nice for someone else. The beautiful sunshine and my dear friend Ed :-) Some definitely good music on the way to work and the fact that tomorrow is FRIDAY!!! :-)

    Walking to school with the sun shining
    Finishing two papers
    Loosing one more pound, being one more step closer to my goal
    And this morning the first thing I saw was my weenie dog waiting for me to wake up. We stared each other down then he charged down the hall at me and dog me good morning dog breath kisses <3

    - Waking up to my daughters smiling face and giving her a kiss :smooched:
    - Talking to my daughter on her way to school. She is 12 months so most of it is gibberish but it is too cute to hear her make sounds and try to form a sentence.
