KOH Day

Today is National Kiss of Hope Day.
Now, really, what could be better than that?

Observed annually on the last Saturday of April,
KOH Day is a day where folks are encouraged
to show and express their love for others
and also to help charities raise funds and awareness.

Why did I not know of this sooner?

EVERY day is a day to shower those you love
with all kinds of affection and
EVERY day is a day to put your efforts
where you passions are and help the less fortunate.
It sure is nice, though,
to have a specific day to declare such things.

I hope your day is kissed with hope
and love.
Do some good stuff.
Enjoy!

National Superhero Day

Today is National Superhero Day.
Some of you may lean toward Batman, Wonder Woman
or persons of that sort.
I, however, prefer to acknowledge and give kudos
to the superheroes I know personally!

Momma
Deanna
Miles
Tina
Harold
Tana
Clara
Tonya
Trevor
Peyton
Mary
Oliver
Rodney
Edie
and a host of others.

Tis a far greater gift
to rub elbows with the great
than to simply read their comics.
Thank you . . . for being you!

Let It Be

When I find myself in times of trouble,

Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness

she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people

living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted,

there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy

there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music,

Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

 

Now I know this song will be stuck in your head all day . . .

but THAT is a good thing!

Mighty

This is not meant toward or about anyone in particular.
It could, however, be sent to a plethora of folks.
For those that need it . . .

I never knew how strong I was
until I had to forgive someone
who wasn't sorry,
and accept an apology
I never received.

Let that steep for a while.
Have an amazing day!

Field Trip

Do you remember,
waaaaaaaaay back when,
in our youth when we got so stoked
because we were having a field trip at school?
No learning (or so we thought).
Just an awesome day, some place new,
with the possibility of grand adventures.
What fun!

Today . . .
in our not-so-youth . . .
do it again!
Take a field trip!
Go some place new.
Go some place fun.
Go some place exciting.
Go some place yet unexplored (by you).
You don't have to spend a fortune.
Just go.

The only thing missing
is the fight for the bumpy back seat of the bus!

Enjoy!

Listen

There are certain sounds that do wonderful things
for your brain.
Sounds that bring back memories.
Sounds that evoke laughter.
Sounds that instill peace and calm.
Sounds that make your heart happy.
Some of my favorites . . .

Chirping birds.
Whispering pines.
Ocean waves.
Kids laughing.
The crackle of a fire.
The silence of being alone with thoughts and prayers.
My husband's voice.
Church bells.
Christmas music.
My children (making pretty much any noise).
Waterfalls.
My dog grumbling and 'talking'.
Rain on a tin roof.
Cats purring.
Echoes in the mountains.

Take a moment
from your crazy, hectic schedule
and just listen.
There is a feast for your ears.

Happy Earth Day

I saw a post that said something along these lines:

If speaking kindly to plants helps them grow,
imagine what speaking kindly to humans could do.

There!
Covered Earth Day and a positive note for my peeps!

Have a grand sort of Saturday!
