Another Trip Around the Sun
Yes, today is my birthday. Just another day, really, but a good day to be grateful for another trip around the sun. I just started hearing people use this expression in the last couple of years, but I really like it. It's a little reminder that...
1. We shouldn't take anything for granted, because nothing is guaranteed.
2. We have a new opportunity each day, when we open our eyes, to make it great!
3. We have 365 opportunities each year to be amazing!
Since my purpose of this blog is to share pearls of wisdom with you, I think I'll try to come up with 44...one for each of my trips around our big ball of light.
Here goes, in no particular order:
1. Don't spit your gum out on the sidewalk. Help keep someone else's good day from becoming sticky!
2. Make little fists with your toes on the carpet when you wake-up each morning...go ahead, try it...so relaxing!
3. Jump in puddles!
4. Don't forget to stretch.
5. Smiling is the first step to success.
6. The world is sometimes scary...be brave, be bold, and be fabulous anyway!
