Make me smile Monday

Smiling is infectious

You catch it like the flu

When someone smiled at me today

I started smiling too

I walked around the corner

And someone saw me grin

When he smiled I realised

I had passed it on to him

I thought about the smile

And then realised its worth

A single smile like mine

Could travel round the earth

So if you feel a smile begin

Don't leave it undetected

Start an epidemic

And get the world infected.

Sunday is the best day because its Today

We recently took a hiatus from our blog, and though we were absent online it was never far from our hearts and thoughts! As one of our favorite philosophers says: "Never underestimate the value of doing nothing, of just going along listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering" - Winnie-the-Pooh

It feels good to be back! In honor of all things Pooh, honey, and friends of the 100 acre woods we leave you with some of our other favorite quotes from the loveable Bear with Very Little Brain.

Finding flowers friday

Flowers make a positive impact on people's lives, emotionally and physically.  Waking up in the morning and seeing pretty blooms outdoor or on your kitchen counter sets up a better mood for the rest of your day, in which your positivity spreads to others around you. A set of flowers can create a welcoming and beautiful atmosphere; hotels invest in a good florist to decorate their lobbies, and companies have vases of flowers in their receptions and meeting rooms. Not only that, many different types of flowers aid in treatments, are used as infusions for tea, and provide tasty additions to meals.

Having more blooms in your life has got to be a good thing, so why not add some more flowers to your life this friday!  Try putting fresh flowers in the kitchen or around your work space and see how they improve your mood throughout the day. To ensure a definite mood increase, don't forget the cupcakes next to the flowers ;)   HAPPY FRIDAY from the Chalaudas to you!

Tumbleweed Thusday

Today is Tumbleweed Thursday, we challenge you to live your life like a tumbleweed! Tumbleweeds are an icon of the American West. Did you know that this plant grows to about 3 feet? At maturity it breaks at the base and because it is rounded, it tumbles in the wind. There is a natural purpose to this tumbling--the tumbleweed can produce up to 250,000 seeds, and the tumbling serves to spread those seed wherever it tumbles, guaranteeing that there will be more tumbleweeds in the future.

You might ask "How do I be a tumbleweed?" Simple! Be open to the universe and let it be your guide. Tumbleweeds don't force themselves in any one direction, they just tumble with the wind. Sometimes they stop temporarily, standing still until the next gust picks them up. Never staying in any one place permanently, the tumbleweed must be open to change in order to survive! Wherever you go, leave behind your seeds. We are all unique and hold special talents, take a risk by leaving a little of yourself behind with all those other tumbleweeds you meet along the way.

Best of all, eat a cupcake and get round like a tumbleweed!

Make the most out of Monday

Have you ever told yourself that you would do something tomorrow instead of today? I'll workout tomorrow, I'll clean tomorrow, I'll call my friend tomorrow - are all things I have said before. I even recently found an old box of chocolates that i was planning to use to make brownies, but never did; which inspired me to think "why wait any longer?" Make the most out of Monday because it is today! I once read that tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift, which is why it is called the present! So change your daily routine and start on that project that you promised yourself that you would do tomorrow today. We're not waiting for tomorrow to eat cupcakes, we're eating them today!

Fix it Friday

Simply, positive, joyful living begins with one's self. We all have setbacks, obstacles, and negativity in our life that, if not handled correctly, can control and impact our way of thinking, decline our health, limit our interactions with others, and minimize our outlook on life. All these things are inevitable in life, but it is how we view them that defines us.

Today for friday, we encourage you find a bad habit or trait and SLOWLY replace this habit that is harming you (and others) with something that doesn't and is more positive. Doing this will take time and patience is virtue. Set your mind on fixing something and do it slowly because changes that are done slowly and mindfully stick with us. And remember, you can always fix yourself with a cupcake!

Thinking of a celebration Thursday

Today is a wonderful day to celebrate your most cherished friends! Why wait to honor those you love? There is no better time than the present to ring up a friend, pull her aside, or surprise her to let her know how much of a positive impact she has had upon your life. If you are ever so fortunate to come across those special people who stick by you through thick and thin, who let you be youer than you, then celebrate your priceless gift. Thank you from the bottom of my less than three heart for my Chalauda Bear, having double cupcakes all the way today!

Wealthy Wednesday

What is wealth to you? Many of us spend years or decades trying to build or accumulate an abundant supply of money or possessions of value that makes us wealthy. But did you ever think that simple things such as your health, family and friends, and yourself is wealth to you? Money makes us rich but staying young, happy, and healthy is a wealth that no amount of money can buy for you but only you can create for yourself.

I saw this in a newspaper column and thought I would share with my blog audiences! Share this with someone you love and live life to its fullest each day!


HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about that, that is why you pay "them".

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keep sakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
