Beads and shiny stuff.

Also the Ringo avatar reminded me. I the Beatles.

A pretty new nail polish

Finishing a story. It makes me feel great! And I also love that all my Internet problems I had yesterday are fixed.

I saw this quote today, and I absolutely loved it!

“This year, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again.”
― Howard W. Hunter​

I am going to try my hardest to follow these.

 

[U2Mama]

Hey I saw that too

Wonderful words to live by!

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

I don't think you'll have any problems with the "laugh a little more" part

 

[ryancoke71]

No, you and I have got that one covered.
I've also mended a quarrel, seeked out a forgotten friend, encouraged youth, tried to understand(at the moment, this is being tested), and gladdened the heart of a child.

The one that is really challenging is dismissing suspicion and replacing it with trust.

My love for today is when the children at work make christmas gifts for me. I it!!!!

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

Awwww

The trust thing will take time but it will happen if you work on it



Perhaps I can help you a little with the laughing part (just had to post this!)

This also falls under the "Things I Love" category

 

[U2Mama]

My daughter's girl scout troop (which I am the leader....) decided to forgo their typical "secret Santa" gift exchange and instead, collected pantry and toiletry items which we delivered to the local community center. Love those girls

 

[ryancoke71]

That is what the Christmas spirit is all about.

Oh Lord, that video. Who would react like that??????

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

That is what the Christmas spirit is all about.

They're losing their minds so they must be insane

[cobl04]

[U2Mama]

Our pretty Christmas tree, the fire in the fireplace, Christmas music playing and a nice glass of wine

 

[flybabe]

The whole spirit and real meaning of Christmas time. Also in my case getting presents, and then two days later, more presents.

 

[MsPurrl]

Taking a snooze on the sofa, with only the lights of the Christmas tree on

 

[ryancoke71]

A white Christmas!

 

[blueeyedgirl]

!!!!!

And I did!!!!!!!

Drinking buckets of cider in a pub beergarden on a stinking hot evening = WIN.

Merry Christmas/non-religious specific holiday of choice, people!!!!

 

[U2Mama]

A white Christmas!

it looks like we will not be having one this year

 

[prbiker15]

Christmas Eve

 

[ryancoke71]

it looks like we will not be having one this year

Aww, I'll post some pics on fb tomorrow! It is supposed to lightly snow this afternoon!

 

[Galeongirl]

Not white here. But rainy instead. That's how we recognize our country.


I love that I've got two days off.

 

[BlueSilkenSky]

I love wrapping presents. Oh so much.

Especially vinyl records... speaking of that, I love that I'm giving someone a record this year and not a CD... and I know he'll love it...

 

[ryancoke71]

As much as I complain about Facebook, there is somthing pretty amazing about making gingerbread houses with my kids and being able to share the pictures with my friends around the world instantly!
