New Favorite toy

Oh....I forgot to tell you guys about my new favorite toy. Don gave me a Sony Reader, and I love it.This reader holds thousands of books and it's the size of a standard paperback book but only 1/4 inch thick. I've already got about 15 books loaded, I just download them from the internet.
It's great because one of those books is Stephen King's "Under the Dome", which is about 1500 pages long. So now I'm going to load the 100 books that I'm going to read for my 2010 Challenge.

I love new toys, now I'm just waiting for my new camera to arrive.
Well, I wish you all a Happy, Healthy New Year and thank you all for being my friend...I treasure you all.

Thank you Thursday

Today say and feel "Thank you" in as many ways as you can. When you're on the phone or watching T.V., instead of doodling, write "Thank you". Say it in your head several times an hour. Say it out loud to everyone who does something for you {this should just come naturally}. If you're driving, say "Thank you" every time you stop.
These two words have a lot of power and all they need is you to release the power by expressing them.

Good Deeds Wednesday

Today and every Wednesday is your chance to do good deeds. It doesn't need to be anything big, you can give encouragement to someone, give good words, give compliments, give kindness, give a smile or just give your genuine interest when someone is talking to you. Look for opportunities to do good deeds, the reward is worth it.

Appreciation Tuesday

Today is Appreciation Tuesday and every Tuesday is your day to appreciate all the things in your life. Appreciate your family, your health, the weather, your clothes, your talent, your home, your bed, your food, your pets, your colleagues, the people who serve you, the transportation you use, your eyes, your ears....well you get the idea.
Especially appreciate all the good things that happened to you in the past and all the good things that will happen to you in the future.

Good Thoughts Monday!

Try this.....take the seven days of the week and change your entire outlook on life. Today is "Good Thoughts Monday", so today and every Monday try to think only good thoughts. Refuse to give in to any negative thoughts. This won't be easy, but it's worth a try.
The average human thinks over 50,000 thoughts a day, so you have 50,000 opportunities to think good thoughts.

Happy Holidays to All

I've been extremely busy lately (just like everyone else).....besides shopping and wrapping and decorating and cooking.....I've been making six mini albums as Christmas gifts. So that's why I haven't been around blogland .

I just wanted to take time to show you a couple of pictures and to wish you all the Happiest Christmas and the Healthiest New Year.
