Time for a Smile!

I thought some ‘silly and fun’ would be in order after my last post. So, I pulled this oldie from my book, New Day, New Dreams. Wow, 2013 seems like 100 years ago!

Anyway, enjoy some Scrabble Soup!

First you need a thought,
nothing fancy
and it can’t be bought,
then add a spoonful of emotion.
There’s no magical potion,
although, I have a notion
you could include humor.
According to rumor,
laughter’s the best medicine.
It always has been.
Yet, contrary to giggles,
start some tears flowing
with a dash of melancholy,
or if you’d rather be jolly,
Don’t be coy,
Sprinkle in joy.
Now to spice up your mixture
(I think you get the picture)
toss in melody
with your favored tempo
and let your feet dance.
Feel the rhythm and
give romance a chance.
This is where you improvise
(write between the lines).
Follow your feelings.
Close your eyes,
peel off your disguise.

This is your recipe.
This is your vision.
Follow your bliss
and for a final touch,

Seal it with a kiss!

Are you smiling yet? I hope so!! 😄

And if you’d like to read some lighthearted, fun, and romantic
poetry, New Day, New Dreams fits the bill and is available on Amazon.💜

Have a wonderful day! The weekend is just around the corner!

Bananas

Swinging from the chandelier
I’m overwhelmed from toes to ear
I know it’s time to walk the frog
Can’t just sit, type, and blog
I’d love to dye my hair bright red
Could you spare a needle and thread?
Reaching for the coffee cup
Time to fill and pet the pup
In the wind, I feel so free
Would you like a cup of tea?
I’d love to swim and read a book
It’s five o’clock, what shall I cook?
Staring at the vacuum cleaner
I wonder why the fish are meaner
Planets aren’t aligned, at all
Let’s go shopping at the mall
I could talk and talk for miles
but only if you share more smiles

I thought some Friday silly would be in order
to bring some laughter and smiles into your day.

Time Well Spent

Recently, my daughter and I spent some time together, and I’ll always
cherish our mom/daughter 
moments. On this day, the weather
cooperated as the sun warmed us with its rays, instead of raindrops
raining on our parade. We walked around, browsing in stores, while
talking and acting a little silly, too…
After all, what’s life without smiles and laughter? 

happiness

the mallards

The Mallard’s house (so cute) and pretty Koi fish

turtles

turtles, too

fun photo booth

silly faces – of course, anytime a photo booth is near, we jump in!
You know the quality isn’t good when you’re only paying a $1, but
the fun and faces are worth so much more! 

“Silliness is sweet syrup that helps us swallow the bitter pills of life.”

happiness is mother daughter time

CAUTION, APRIL FOOL’S DAY!

april fool's day

Tread carefully through this day

Eyes looking every which way

Don’t believe all you hear

let the words go out the other ear

Today is not just an ordinary Monday

it’s a day of silliness and pranks

So stay alert as you work and play

and have a Happy April Fool’s Day

🙂
