Just because I miss my dog

My family has a border collie at home and I miss him so when I found this video of dogs being funny I had to post it for all the other dog lovers who might read this. Happy Sunday everyone.

Fun big words

I've always liked languages and big words just because they sound fun. Just for the heck of it, here are a few of them.

Absquatulate: It means to leave abruptly. (This word became an inside joke in my family. For reasons I don't remember, it makes all of us laugh.)

Apotheosis: It means the highest point in development of something. It just sounds like an appropriately good strong word. (I heard about it in a description of a musical piece from the Nutcracker Ballet.)

Befuddle: It means to make someone be unable to think clearly.  I just like the way the word sounds.

Euphoria: It means a feeling of intense happiness.  It just sounds like a happy word.

Quixotic: It means very idealistic/unrealistic. I like the word because it's named after Don Quixote which is all about a man who believed in the impossible.

Smile it's Friday!

It's Friday! (Yay!). So because Fridays (like many things) make me smile, I was happy when I saw that a baseball team has a designated time when they show people smiling. I just like the video and today I hope you had many reasons to smile today!

A loving flashmob

I really like the song "What the World Needs Now Is Love"  because I feel like the world needs more love in it, you can never have too much love. Anyway, I saw a clip of some children singing along to this song and I really like it. So I send this post out in to the world with this song and lots of love now and always!

Forever young

It's the singer Rod Stewart's birthday and I thought I'd share one of the songs he sang that I like best which is called "Forever Young." I like this song because it's all about wishing good things for someone's life.  Plus, I believe that however much people age in years, we're all just young people who have been around for a while. So my message for today is stay young at heart and I wish you all the very best!

Favorite photo

I love pictures and so I was interested when I found out today that the Daguerrotype process, the first publicly available photo process, was introduced today in 1839. This got me thinking about my favorite pictures. I love pictures, especially photographs because they keep memories and when I look back at them I can remember things that happened that were good and fun. One of my favorite pictures is of the sea off of Massachusetts. I like the water because somehow it gives me a sense of peace. I hope it has the same effect on others. Happy Tuesday everyone.

Advice from Stephen Hawking

"Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. Stephen Hawking

As it's the physicist Stephen Hawking's birthday, I thought it appropriate to share this quote and to add to it, in addition to looking up at the stars, I hope you reach for them!
