A to Z

I was absolutely thrilled to be tagged to participate in this fun little deal-e-o last week by my wonderful friend PaleoinPDX.  Thanks, Alisa.  (And, by the way, she’s now Facebook famous, as Everyday Paleo Lifestyle and Fitness mentioned her post and spread the happiness and fun around the interweb world).

Things Dogs Teach Us

I am definitely a dog lover.  I don’t currently have a furry friend at home right now, but I so enjoy remembering the unsolicited love and cuddles from my fearless companions when they were with me.  The best memories abound from those faithful friends.  And, they teach us so much about Life.

Random Acts

Sometimes I’m baffled by science in America and headlines that read, “Research Shows…”  Really, they had to do a study and spend money on research to draw that conclusion? “Research Shows Banging Your Head Against the Wall May Cause Headache.” I wonder how many thousands of dollars were wasted on that one.

Spreading Smiles Daily

Apparently I’m not the only one who forms a grin simply at the sight of an alpaca.  Honestly, just looking at these creatures, I can see that they are clearly smirking right at me, which causes me to rumble a chuckle right back. Not only is the mere sight of these furry creatures the cause…

The best things in life certainly don’t always happen on Fridays.  But, Fridays are my day to remember and share all the awesome things that collectively occurred in my life over the past few days.  I choose to share ten awesome things.  Oh boy, though, we all have so many more than ten awesome things…

Happy HAPPY MONDAY!

Mondays can be hard.  I generally have Mondays off from work, so Tuesdays are my “Monday.”  Needless to say, once a two day break from work comes to an end and we have to get back to the grindstone, we may or may not meet the morning with a bit of a grumble and some…
