Fun Friday: Say this Word and Be Happy!

HAVE YOU EVER JUST SAID, "BUUUUUUUUUUUUUYAAAAHHH!!!!"

The actual spelling is actually: Booyah

But, seriously, have you ever just said it?

Think about a moment you were completely relieved that you reached a goal you were striving hard to hit or landed the job you always dreamed of?

I've said this phrase a few times in my life...

AND IT'S AWESOME!

I totally recommend it; it's a super release, and from what I can figure out, it has a whole lot to do with the way you are breathing and the shape of your mouth...not just the word.

Just do it....see for yourself.

Try it with different emphasis on the beginning or end...

It's guaranteed to crack a smile.

Happy Friday!

Where did Booyah come from?

I wonder what they say to themselves when they are initially accepted into the Olympics.

I wonder what the Olympians say when they win a medal?

Fun Friday: A Fun Poem About Political and Current Events

Remember when you were a kid and you read Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends?

Poems were fun and helped us relate, understand and sometimes get away.

A friend of mine has a talent I admire. 

She can write funny, endearing, compassionate or even serious poems,

 depending on the situation.

She has her own greeting card business which she does these poems for,

and I really felt compelled to share this particular one with you:

"This week, after President Obama’s approval of same-sex marriage, I wanted to applaud him for making a stand and send a message to all those like myself that want to be treated equally"...

If there’s someone you know

And by chance, they are gay

And you support their relationship

Well, then, tell them o.k.?!!

Think for a second

On how it would impact your life

If you were told you couldn’t marry

Your husband or wife

Many prejudicial statements

And hurtful comments are said

By people who speak

Without using their head

Why does it matter?

To anyone in this land

Who’s united in marriage

I don’t understand

Reflect on your friends

Perhaps a sister or brother

That’s in a relationship

With a significant other

And believe there’s a chance

That while we’re all alive

Equal rights will be felt

And gay couples will thrive

This is the quote she ended with:

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, 

and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

-Buddha

Fun Friday: A Fun Tool For Readers

It's been about time to get out your Kindle's, Nook's, or just a plain old book...

It's staying lighter out longer,

the air is warmer

and it's going to be time to hit the porch or beach with a good story.

You might not have time to hit the library, and maybe your friends don't read the same genre, 

and maybe you've spent too long on Amazon viewing that long row of titles by similar author's...

Use this fun tool to get a list of books similar to those that you read now.

Pick a title you love and see what comes up.

Once the results pop up you can then click on the little book icon and it will bring you to a direct link to it on Amazon, then you can see if there are preview pages~

Happy Reading!

Fun Friday Quote for Pet Lovers

Lazily napping before his next big meal, petting-fest, belly rub, can of tuna, mouthful of medication, family discussion, etc., etc., etc.......

When this cat was alive, he was a very high maintenance, 

but loving family member...

Though sometimes we wished he could fetch us the paper...

Fun Friday: Funny Things I Learned Last Thursday

Many of you might have noticed I posted Fun Friday last week on the wrong day;
I posted on Thursday!

Funny, because as I reviewed Friday's scheduled posts, on Wednesday night, I knew the next day was not Friday.

But, when I woke up in the morning, I carried on like it was!
I sat down, opened up my computer, noticed that none of my blogs had posted, chalked it up to another annoying tech error...

"Grrrrr....", I thought, "Sometimes I despise technology!"

 THEN:
Oh well, just verify that that Friday is February 10th (and per the calendar - Feb. 10th IS a Friday)...
 then force the posts through.

So, ignoring the feeling that something was amiss, and encountering what I assumed to be another internet glitch, I worked busily on 'fixing' the 'problem'...then received a text message from a  friend:

"Today is not Friday, it's Thursday".

Okay. I thought...
So?.....What's that suppose to mean?

After a little while I realized, indeed it was Thursday! I was posting all of my Fun Friday's on Thursday!

YIKES!

All I could do was laugh!

How funny! I was so deep in thought that it was Friday, I even posted my Friday blogs!

I laugh every time I think of it.

What a silly mistake...

Last Thursday, I learned several things:

1. People pay attention (thank you, dear friend).
2. Some people care enough to tell you when you screw up (thank you again, oh wonderful friend).
3. When you get that little feeling like something doesn't add up, stop & think, because there's probably a  
    reason for it.
4. No matter how much you wish Thursday would be Friday, it simply is not.

Are you able to laugh at your mistakes? 

If so, share.
