TODAY IS BRING YOUR DOG TO WORK DAY:
I was visiting my niece last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper.
"This is the 21st century," she said. 'I don't waste money on newspapers.
Here, use my iPad."
I can tell you this……………………
That fly never knew what hit him.
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU SMILE:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short – enjoy it.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye, but don't worry, God never blinks.
16.. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19.. It's never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative of dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you need
42. The best is yet to come...
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

Love these! Such wisdom in the list. I especially liked the last one~
Really good list....we should take heed to them in our everyday life. Happy Friday and hope your weekend is a good one.
This began badly with "BRING YOUR DOG TO WORK DAY."
1. I don't have a job at which to work.
2. I don't have my dog any more.
How much worse can that be; zero for two?
Blessings and Bear hugs!

such a great post, you put so much thought and care in each post to lift us up, makes us laugh and educate us, I just enjoy my visits here so much, I thankyou for that, have a super weekend,
It's never too late to be happy - I agree with that one and wish everyone knew that.
Just amazing things here. Gives me pause. Thank you, sweet lady!
Thanks for all the smiles and the wisdom. Everything on the list is good, but one that stands out somewhat is about throwing all our problems out there and not trading them for someone else's. Isn't that interesting?
And life IS a gift!
Have a great weekend, friend!
I loved this post! Thank you & have a super weekend!
that last happy face is how i have been feeling all week... i love the when mommy came to work for us
I don't know what I liked more, the newspaper, the chick or the kid asking if the wedding pic was when mommy came to work for them. Good ones, Sandie.
Ha, my client loves animals, so I don't think she'd mind a bit if I brought my dog to work ;-)
Resistance is indeed futile when it comes to chcolate :) I am powerless

I just love that video. That's a toe tapper and if you don't smile then something is wrong with you.
Loved the 45 ways to make life better. Spot on.
Have a terrific day. Big hugs from sunny California. ☺
I like this entry, lots of good stuff here. I wear purple and sometime I even wear dangling earrings.
Love the virtual fly swatter! That made me laugh!
Each one of those 45 words of wisdom hit home with me, so thanks!!!
Life is such a gift. Hope you have a fantastic Friday!
oh lots of great Friday things in here Sandie. I watched the youtube Video. Funny and sweet.
Wanted to share with my sister in-law as she is a cat lover.
She would love the video.
Could not get it to get the code to copy.
You have a terrific Day too!
thanks for the wise words and smiles:)
happy 1st day of summer!
:))
So many great one liners!!
Have a wonderful weekend Sandie!! I'm loving this summer - EVERYDAY IS A SATURDAY!!
All good stuff, Sandie! Happy weekend!
I can SO RELATE to the laugh. Because of the shape of my mouth, people ALWAYS think I'm mad. However, in all fairness, they think right about half the time! LOL!
Sandie,
So enjoyed the little video and music that went with it.
Your list is great-just imagine if we just picked say 5 of those things to incorporate into our life-how amazing this world would be!
You are the best!
Happy Hugs-
Jemma
Great as always...happy weekend!!
I love the first joke about the fly!!!! I just finished telling Lisa how sweet you are!!!! What an awesome thing to do when you are usually so busy...
Oh my yum! I must make one of those chocolate bowls sometime!
The chickie reminds me of grumpy kitty lol. Long lost cousins or some sort?
what doesn't kill you make you stronger?
The Mommy maid cartoon-LOL! Loved the words to live by too! Happy Weekend:@)
That video was so cute and it made me smile before heading to bed. Chocolate bowl, it looks really yummy :) enjoy your weekend ,
Loved the words to live by! Also, loved the mommy maid cartoon! I feel that way sometimes...
I like framing the situation with the words in 5 years will this really matter. so true.
More good stuff... my sweet new friend! Hope your weekend is fabulous and full of joy...
(Will think abut the GFC)
Hugs!
Jenni
Really liked #13 and i do try to always remember that.
Grumpy peep is precious.
Definitely an "upper" post.
I always feel better when I visit you! There were a lot of truisms in that list! I'll write a couple of them in my journal tonight! Thanks and BIG HUGS!!
Made me smile! Thank you for another very honorable mention.
Love the list
That happy face is what mine looks like some days at work....lol
Hello Sandie....
Got a chuckle out of quite a few of those!
Loved the ipad swatting the fly.
And I copied those inspirational thoughts for my special file.
Thanks! Hope you have a swell weekend. Susan (Does anybody use that term anymore? Swell, meaning terrific? ha haha)
You've got lots and lots of good ones here today.
Lisa over at Two Bears is spreading good rumors about you today, Sandie. :) You're a sweetheart. :)
That was very uplifting today made me fell better and I can now face the day.
Merle......
Amen to #34 and I love the iPad story! Have a great weekend.
You know, I love that list of LIFE helps. They are so true.
Late, getting ready to call it quits for today. Sending Love from Columbus, Texas. (there must be a Columbus in every state!)
((HUGS))
Thanks Sandi for the list!! I needed that! Happy Summer, Ginger
I enjoyed the video, life is be lived and enjoyed not resented
Hope you have an awesome weekend my friend.
Too many wonderful things this week to shout them all out! I loved the little quote about men insulting and women complimenting. That is so true and so sad that it is.
I just kept nodding my head over and over as I read down the list.
Hey Gayle....these are great....love that last quote. and always love how you try to cheer up everyone here. Your spirit is awesome. So glad I found you and we've become friends. Have a super Saturday. :)
I missed your post yesterday! Still cracking up over the ipad joke!
That is probably the best LIST I've ever read, Sandie. Perfect. And, I'm still chortling over the day Mom came to work for us. LOL! blessings ~ tanna
Hi Sandie, That list? Are those all from YOU!? Awesome.
I had fun at the wedding and now getting into my replies. But I am tired today. Off to a nap I go. Have a great weekend. Your blog looks great with all your faces back! (hug)
As ALWAYS, your post...lift my spirits and make me smile.... thank you!!
So true about the men and women thing...women complimenting and men insulting... funny!
That list was very thought provoking! I found myself agreeing with every word
I received my socks today sweety, love them.
Hope you are having a terrific weekend and finding some good stuff to smile at! :)
xo Catherine
Thanks Sandie, as always your fridays are the best...love the video..so sweet...Hope you had a great weekend! Zoe
As always, you bless me with a laugh and a smile. Like the iPad joke the best this week.
Am craving chocolate now.
Thanks. (Sarcasm)
The list is fantastic. Every item meant something to me. Love the cartoon "is this when mommy came to work for us...". LOL. Love your header. Ann
LOVE the 45 list, so true!! Jazzi works with me every day with the kids!!! LOL Great post!!
Diana
I believe your difference between men and women when they socialize.
The video part where the cat is biting the guy's nose reminds me of the night when the dog bit Dave Letterman's face.
Your list of 45 was nice, no favorites there, sorry.
..
We've been out of town since Friday, went to San Antonio (Texas).
Do you know that San Antonio is Texas' second largest city (our Houston is first). It is also the most fun to visit city.
..
I enjoyed your smile video Sandie. it had me tapping my toes to the beat and smiling at the photo's half way through. I must complain...you have to stop teasing/tempting with the chocolate photo's. LOL
