Welcome back to “Quote Friday” where I will share with you my favorite quotes.  Most of them will be silly and some of them will be smart.  I like the silly ones the best…but, smart ones are okay too.

So, without further dilly dally….here is another:

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.  Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.  It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.  Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”  Dr Seuss

Wishing you a day filled with nonsense and silliness~

Ta Ta fer now!

I have decided to add a new category to Musing For the Soul.

I am calling it “Quote Friday.”  I have been secretly collecting quotes for years and I decided this morning that it is time to bring them onto the page:)

So without further ado….here is your quote for today:

“My alphabet starts with this letter called Yuzz.  It’s the letter I use to spell yuzz-a-ma-tuzz.  You’ll be sort of surprised what there is to be found once you go beyond Z and start poking around!”  Dr Seuss

Have a fun day thinking beyond letter Z!

April Fools’ Day or All Fools’ Day, although not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies, and neighbours, or sending them on fool’s errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. Traditionally, in some countries, the jokes only last until noon: like UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa, someone who plays a trick after noon is called an “April Fool”.^[1] Elsewhere, such as in Ireland, France, and the USA, the jokes last all day.

Okay.  So, that is a little definition from Wikipedia.  Couldn’t really find much else on this day called “April Fools.” (more…)

Hello everyone!

Have you ever heard the phrase “The Devil is in the Details?”  It’s a good one.  It is something that I think most of us have bumped up against.

So, without further ado…here is an example from my life:

Many many moons ago, I was at the end of my pregnancy with my first son.  One day I started to clean.  I cleaned.  I cleaned and I cleaned.  This was no ordinary cleaning.  This was cleaning closets, cupboards, tops of cupboards, top of the fridge, every place I could find where dirt might have been hiding. All I could think about was preparing our home for the new baby.

Cuz the new baby would REALLY care if the house wasn’t spotless! (more…)

Hi cutie patuties!

Have you ever noticed how when you say “Yes” to one thing….you say “No” to something else?  How “yes” and “no” are the same side of the coin?  It’s quite the paradox!

And how sometimes something that looked really good in the distance…so good in fact that a big huge “Yes” came out of your mouth….and then when it started to come closer, you found yourself thinking: “What was I thinking???”

This used to happen often when my kids were younger. (more…)

Hi everyone!

As some of you may have noticed, I have taken and unplanned break from blogging.  Between the maiden voyage of my radio show (which launched two weeks ago), a surprise check in the mail that has allowed us to begin planning a bathroom remodel (since the walls in the shower are falling down and we have them taped together, so they will not fall on us while we shower), and the mind numbing chore of getting our taxes together…all writing creativity sorta just dried up a bit.

On top of this time of totally cool experiences, numbers (ugh), great new learning edges, and a fun wad of cash to help us fix an enormous leak in our bathroom…I have been reacquainted with a bunch of folks from my past…through facebook. (more…)
