Yes, I plant lots of petunias every summer. They are so beautiful. They thrive, grow and spread. I buy many different colors and where I live in West Virginia the Lowes has the most healthy plants. I buy them by the six pack and they are very inexpensive. They are in my front yard, around my trees, and in the flower boxes on my back deck.
Do try petunias if they work in your climate zone. Do it just because it’s SUMMERTIME!
I noticed in my newspaper that Kung Fu Panda 4 is now playing in movie theaters. I don’t know if you have seen the movies or if you think this kind of thing is for children only or even a bit corny, but I can assure you that this is not the case. These are movies about an underdog who gains confidence through hard work and makes it.
I highly recommend this attitude and these movies. Let me know what you think!
Sometimes I just love when dinner is a blank slate. Endless options art right there in front of you including, I might say, eating out!!!
I have said it before and I will say it again: Every fitness expert I have ever read says that the best, cheapest and most beneficial exercise is walking! DO IT!
As your nice thing to do for the day today, why not loan someone you like a book that you have enjoyed. Wow, what a neat thing to do, right?
PS-You do try to do at least one nice thing per day, don’t you???
I love that beauty can come in any form. Flowers are lovely always. Winnie the Pooh is sweet and soft and warm. Scenery is calm and peaceful.
My favorite thing of beauty is often just the right spoken word to make one feel at peace with everything. Pooh Bear has a gift for that. For example:
“You are braver than you know.”
I think this gives one the power to face situations with courage. Sometimes we do not know how brave we actually are until something happens, do we?
Pooh has so many quotes that I absolutely love. I will continue to share them as our summer goes on. BTW one of the things that I really love is SUMMER!
Pretty soon, dear friends, it will be time for JELL-O with cottage cheese, green JELL-O, and all sorts of other yummy outdoor desserts. I love lemon aid with frozen strawberries used as ice cubes. I also really love any frozen dessert, and don’t forget sweet tea you guys from the South. Sweet tea rules in the summer right along with white bread tomato sandwiches! What are some of YOUR summer favorites?
There is so much beauty in our world. Some days it may seem difficult to find, but do search until you find something that brings a smile to your face or a little joy to your heart.
I get that JANUARY can be pretty dismal at times, but honestly, if you think about it, perhaps is is not January that is dismal, but actually YOU who are dismal. Some people are sad and downhearted all year long no matter what the weather or whatever else is happening. If that is you, please seek help. Life can be a wonderful gift. Please enable yourself to open the present!
Please do not ever tell me you have nothing to do. If you are sitting staring off into space and feeling sorry for yourself, get up and move around. Yes, it is as simple as that. Walk around where you are. Stretch and jog. Bend over as much as you can. Twist around from the waist. You get it. Moving around can make you feel better in both mind and body. The more you move the better. Physical therapists use the phrase, “Motion is Lotion” and they are so very correct!!
