inspiration monday


if spring hasn't quite sprung in your part of the world yet,
and the skies are still looking a little gray…..




here's some words of wisdom from someone who
knows how to make people smile.





all you need to do is channel all your good thoughts…..





you know…...the really over-the-top, super cheery thoughts!





and then say bye-bye to gray skies,
and let those smile-sunbeams inspire an absolutely lovely day!

(quite possibly the most sugary, pollyanna-coated post i've written to date!
but sometimes "happy" just goes that way!  :))

  1. I was thinking of you when I saw this idea on another blog I read. It's called 100 Days of Happy (http://100happydays.com). And I was thinking how fun it would be to make a book and draw/paint/add words each day inspired by this idea instead of taking pictures. Just thought you would enjoy the idea too. Thank you for your great blog!

  3. I'd never heard of Roald Dahl...and then, in the span of two days, twice now he's been placed before me. Interesting...

    Great quote and I really love how you 'hung' his name on the cloud.

    Happy Monday!
