35 random thoughts to ponder

Suzanne’s CORNER A COLLABORATION

1) Why does steak taste better than fish?

2) Did you ever wonder if you have a secret admirer?

3) Why is getting a new cell phone so painful?

4) Why don’t men like to dance as much as women? (I sure would like to find a good dance partner!)

5) If you could grow up again would you change anything?

6) Get up, dress up, show up and be on time, please!

7) I don’t like turnip greens or collard greens but I love Brussel sprouts!

8) Most people like mayonnaise…I don’t…but I don’t HATE anything …maybe LIVER!

9) There are 3 really good friends that I can count on for anything. Do you need more?

10) Did you ever think, “coulda, woulda, shoulda”?

11) Why does a grown up 30 something year old kid with a job have to borrow money?

12) I remember my dad standing by my bed while I was sobbing into my pillow saying “there are thousands of men out there waiting to meet you, this one’s not worth the tears”!

13) Why can’t you open the door for a stranger and take your hat off in a restaurant? In my book those are GOOD manners.

14) Can you remember your first love like it was yesterday? (That should give you something to pause and ponder)

15) Wonder if he thinks about me and those passionate breathless kisses?

16) Do you ever “pay it forward”? Have you ever paid for the person behind you in the drive-in line, or the person’s toll behind you on the Oklahoma Indiana Turnpike? It sure does make you smile when you get to the clerk and he says, “the lady in front of you just paid for you already”! You think about this little act of kindness all day long…and smile.

17) Did you ever think you would live to be this old?

18) I love everything chocolate and cake without icing. Hmmm wonder if that would make liver better??

19) What’s your recurring dream and what does it mean?

20) Remember a smile takes less muscles than a frown and a smile is contagious. Look up and smile at someone right now. Betcha he’ll probably say “whas-sup”?

21) My favorite book ever is Anne Lamott’s ‘Bird by Bird’ (instructions on writing and life)

22) Could you eat a cheese burger every day for a year?

23) Why do I work 80 hours a week?

24) God made some beautiful birds, (especially our little colorful Painted Buntings).

25) Do you have De ja vu moments? Have I been here before?

26) I’m under water and way behind!

27) When was the last time you laughed out loud, couldn’t stop laughing, and your “giggle box turned over”? The harder you tried to stop the more you laughed. You couldn’t stop laughing and laughed all day long every time you thought about whatever. Good for the soul.

28) Say your prayers at least once a day and be thankful.

29) Be light-hearted and fun loving. Let go and be “goofy” once in a while…or maybe once every day!

30) Sing

31) The average hug is 4 seconds; a 2 minute hug soothes your mind, calms your frustrations and makes you relax; a 5 minute hug can put you to sleep. Hugs are necessary! Hug somebody today and mean it!

Another good for the soul.

32) Birthdays are good. WOW mine’s today!

33) One of my new chickens laid a rubber egg without a shell, “that’s creepy”!

34) Have an attitude of gratitude.

35) Take time today to stop and smell the roses, relax for a moment, go outside and stretch your arms out, look at the gorgeous blue-blue sky and thank the Lord for giving you life and the eyes to see his beautiful creation.
