Celebrate!

Good Morning! A thought for the day from a reflection I read...

This day, and every day, is a chance to celebrate the life God has given you.

Give thanks to the one who has offered you more blessings than you can possibly count.

hugs & smiles,

Joy, smiles & happiness!

I hope you are all enjoying this 2nd week of Advent. Last night the 3 day Parish Mission with Sister Anne Smollin concluded. I hope you took advantage of this wonderful opportunity to be inspired by such a terrific speaker. I want to share a few things I learned from Sister Anne this week:

4 Ways to bring healing & happiness to your life:

• laugh (put it in your day! Get a laughing buddy)
• cry (crying gets toxicness out of us)
• yawn & stretch
• touch (we need 4 hugs a day to survive & 12 a day to grow)

10 Commandments of joy & humor

• be yourself
• laugh at yourself
• have some fun every day
• smile
• make mistakes
• look for surprises
• stay open
• forgive
• relax
• celebrate everything we can

These are just a few nuggets of the wisdom she shared with us. I took pages of notes each night. As some of the teens who attended said to me, "Sister Anne rocks!"

blessings,

1 month Anniversary!

So, it's the 1 month anniversary...of what you ask? Umm, well, umm I see it has been 1 month since a posted a blog! Oops. I guess this is proof of a couple things.
1. Time flies
2. If you don't keep your focus on things, you can forget about them
That's pretty much it. I remember to do alot of things in my life and feel pretty good about how I am organized and keep on top of tasks and my "to do" lists. However, in this case I dropped the ball.
I'll try to work harder at a post once a week.
blessings & Happy Advent,
Kelly
