You Gotta Watch This!

Ok, so I just saw these dogs play the piano, and I must say that I am amazed.  And check out their happy faces while they play.  Also, no discernible “I’m the best musician around attitude”….a refreshing way to be awesome.  🙂  So watch this, you’ll be glad you did.  🙂  Slainte, Lisa

Success Through the Love Lens

lovelens

Different people have many different definitions for success.  To me, I always view success through a lens of love.

Success vs.  The Love Filter

Lots of money   vs.  Fulfillment in your work

Fancy stuff vs.  A kiss from your spouse in your kitchen in the evenings, cuddling on the couch in your comfy clothes

Fame/Fortune   vs.   Your husband and children thinking you’re the greatest wife/mom/singer ever

Today marks 25 years of being married to the most successful man I know; he has more love than any man could ever hold in one heart.  I love you, Ed, and I can’t wait for the next 25!  🙂 Here’s to the best of adventures together.  Love, Lisa

The Chuckleness Factor

My made-up word of the day is “chuckleness.”  As could be used in the sentence, “That scene had an awesome chuckleness factor to it.”  (I in fact used that sentence last night after dinner, thereby prompting this post of questionable import.)  My equally made-up definition is as follows:

Chuckleness- (adjective) used to describe the funniness or humor of an object, occurrence, or quality.  Best when used with the noun “factor.”

I will now list several funny scenes from popular TV shows for you to vote on the one with the best “chuckleness factor.”  You will probably not know all of them, so just vote for the one you remember and laugh at the best.  And may your day have a chuckleness factor of 10!  Slainte, Lisa

Joy…Sea….Wonder

it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.”

“My soul is full of longing
For the secret of the sea,
And the heart of the great ocean
Sends a thrilling pulse through me.”
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. ”         – Psalm 139: 17-18

Rejoice in the wonder and joy of it all.  Blessings, Lisa
