Chic

I am feeling quite "chic" today. I love it when something negative happens and it turns into a positive. My internet is not working at my house so I went to a local coffee shop to use their "Y_Fi"-- I don't think I even spelled that right--but it sounds good to me.

I did something fun today. I had to take a few days off work so I am trying to make the most of my time off by doing things I would normally not be able [time restraints] to do. I had lunch at a sandwich shop I like [by myself]. I engaged strangers in conversation and showed them some of the pictures I have been taking on my didgital camera. By the way--our picture phones and digital cameras are the hi-tech version of wallet photos--only better. I showed two small preschool girls [and their mother] pictures of a mother robin feeding her babies, grasshoppers, and spiders--I bit they will have interesting dinnertime conversation tonight.

I also got my nails done at a place I have been frequenting of late. The gal that did my nails asked me if I had a "green thumb". I admitted that I had learned a lot about plants and gardening from my childhood on a farm and a friend that ran a garden shop for years. We [the nail gal] and I made plans to "swap" services in May. I will plant a couple of large pots of flowers that are easy to grow--give her care instructions--she will do my nails---GREAT!

Life is more fun when you are open to new and out of the ordinary experiences--GO ENJOY LIFE TODAY!

Another thought for today:
Save your best smile for your loved ones today. Too often we "give away" our best smiles, behavior, pleasantries, etc... to strangers we see in the store or at the gas station. Go ahead and be nice to them, but save your best smile for your husband, wife, kids, etc...

Take care,
