Wednesday Words~

 

 

In the wake of such sadness, the kindness we show to each other

will be contagious.

I will show more acts of kindness; such as~ 

smile often,

hug my loved ones tight,

 always hold the door for others,

say "hello" to strangers,

say "thank you",

donate my extra clothes,

let the other car go,

complain less,

be grateful....

Wishing you all a kind and happy day!

A festive holiday drink is often a family tradition that many ring in the season with! Maybe one of these yummy drinks will be your new tradition!!

I love me some eggnog, even though I drank so much one Christmas when I was little.  I didn't even care about all the gifts Santa sent me :( Don't worry Mom & Dad I know it was not your fault, I snuck it because... I was obsessed !:)

 

Cheers Everyone!!

Sadness~

I have a heavy heart.  My thoughts and prayers go out to the familys in the Newtown Ct community.  There are no words for the horrific tragedy that occurred Friday but,  immense sadness.
