The Best Way To Forget Your Troubles

Nicole — Thu, 20 May 2010 13:30:43 +0000

‘The Best Way To Forget Your Troubles,

is To Wear Tight Shoes.’

I just got this in an email. It’s so true. If you’re wearing tight shoes, nothing else really matters, does it? But this becomes a way to look at life. Get yourself comfortable shoes. Get yourself cute shoes. Don’t buy shoes that hurt your feet. Don’t surround yourself with anything that hurts you. Life’s fun. Don’t worry, things usually work out.

Take it one day or hour at a time. If you’re holding a baby, take it one moment at a time (they grow up fast). Relax. Get a good night’s sleep. Clean out your closets. Live today like you have everything crossed off your list and done. Take a little time for yourself… Relax.

promptly announces she never did care for pie.”

A Great Quote today from another character from a John Hughes Movie!

‘You Can Say Whatever You Want, But It Has To Start With Y…’

Nicole — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:04:17 +0000

I normally share great, usually inspirational quotes, on Fridays,

under my feature,

Quotable Fridays,

Today I share an actual quote my 6-year-old son uttered,

“You can say Whatever You Want,

But it Has To Start with Y.”

Meaning- Yes.

Well, nobody has ever accused him of being dumb.

I wish that actually worked!

I love the mind of a 6-year-old

Back to your day… enjoy and have a good one!

   can make all the difference in this world.”
