ABC's

This is a confession, I do not have the patience for some of the Blog world games. The 365 days of picture taking (Jaci I commend you on doing it), the giveaways, The tag it Tuesdays, etc.
I also confess I read mommy blogs. Not just my own daughter's blogs, but other ladies who I don't even know. I pipe in with Grandmotherly advice every once in a while, but over all I just enjoy the laugh.

I ran into one that was having a really hard time and she decided to write a word a day that would help her make it through just that day. Starting with the alphabet so she would only have to do it short term, 26 days.

I liked that idea. 26 days I can commit to. She encouraged her readers to think up words for her as well. So besides posting my words in her commit section I am going to put them here on my blog.

I encourage you to come up with a word a day to help you through the tough and fun times. Since this started yesterday (March 1) I will have two words for today. Let's see if I can make it 26 days.


In the voice of Elmo. . .Today's letter is A and the word of the day is AIR.


AIR
Appreciate the AIR around you. Remember that simple things can bring joy. Not just that you are alive to breath the air. But what the air does for you. It blows in the trees and cools you on a summer day. It carries fragrance to you to enjoy or not. But that means the your nose can appreciate the scents or warn you of danger. Air fills your lungs to oxygenate your blood.
Today show you appreciate Air and those around you will notice. bake cookies/bread so the house smells great when they come home. Or burn a candle so the fragrance will gently relax everyone in the house.
Embellish Air and appreciate it.

P.S. yes that is our hot air balloon in the pic, Dear Mirays.


And for March 2 . . Today's letter is B and the word of the day is Bounty.


Is there Bounty in your life? No not the paper towel or the candy bar, but in your cupboard? Do you have enough food that you can choose what you eat for each meal? Do you have Bounty in your Closet so much so that you can choose what you will wear each day. Do you have Bounty in friends who will catch you when you stumble. Is there Bounty in your family who will care for you in sickness and health. When we look at our Bounty we can then know that we are better off than the majority of the world and our problems seem smaller in comparison. Appreciate your Bounty but don't flaunt it.
