Thought for the Day Level #6

DP,
You crack me up every time!

A day without chocolate is like a day without sunshine.

On your second "thought". If I could remember how old I am I'd probably brag about it too. : - )

I don't drown my sorrows; I suffocate them with chocolate chip cookies.

"Vegetables feed your body, chocolate feeds your soul. I'll stick with the chocolate!"

The perfect balance in life is equal portions of dark and white chocolate.
We need to start a chocolateholic support group!

Swiped this one from somewhere.

Here's one to go along with your "stressed" and "desserts."

Did you ever notice that "listen" and "silent" are made up of the same letters? There's something profound hiding in there. . .

Can I join your chocoholics group? Every time I read this thread, I eventually have to go dig a piece of chocolate out of my secret stash. LOL

There is only one you..............Don't you dare change just because you're outnumbered.

If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor. (and a chocolate bar)

Good one, DP.
Anyone can join our Chocolate (aholics') Club. Let's just admit it, we love chocolate, and are proud of it!
LOL! Easter is coming up soon, chocolate will be going on sale! LOL!

I'd give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter!

I am really trying to take and apply this one to my life. Hope you find some worth in it.
DP is a founding member of our Chocolate Support Group (CSG). LOL!

I'm really not much of a chocolate fan. I just thought there was a need for a place to talk about it. I do like Snickers bars though.

It's okay DP, we still like you. ; - )

I do, too! LOL

"I believe in laughter. Laughter that chortles, burbles, and finally erupts into body-shaking joy. The kind of laughter that occurs when its not supposed to--- you know, unexpectedly during a really serious meeting, or when sadness takes a mirthful turn. There is always the hilarious absurd chance encounter with people you don't know, or a situation that calls for decorum, but you just can't help yourself."
Claire Richardson-Juneau, Alaska Journalist

Gosh, kwan, some really great sayings.

It is said among the Native American Community, that at a Pow Wow, everyone participates. You may not be able to drum, sing or dance, but you can still feel the beat of the drum, hum along, and watch all the beautiful dancers. Without someone to appreciate their beauty, the ceremony would be less meaningful, so those who watch are just as important as those who drum, sing or dance.

I find myself missing Ronald Reagan, DP.

kwan, laughter is always good. That sure is a cute kid in your last post. Any relation? : - )

That's my great nephew, Maxwell. He's a very serious boy but can laugh when the moment calls for it.

Cute Maxwell. What a great toothless grin, kwan.

Found one while going through my email.

on a sign along the road.

"Prayer is the best way of meeting the Lord,
Trespassing is faster!"

I guess they are serious about trespassing!

Last one for today.

"What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul."

Might be a Romanian saying, it came in an email and wasn't attributed. But I like it! : - )

Hi all, enjoyed reading the many Great quotes. Here are a few of my favorites, remember them but don't know who quoted them:

"Gardening means believing in tomorrow"

"The best fertilizer is a gardener's shadow"

"God answers knee-mail."

"Sorrow looks behind,
Worry looks around,
Faith looks up."

"Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift."

And last: THINK before you speak

T..is it true
H..is it helpful
I..is it inspirational
N..is it necessary
K..is it kind

Have a wonderful day all.

"Hubert Humphrey talks so fast that listening to him is like trying to read Playboy magazine with your wife turning the pages."
~Barry Goldwater~

Really enjoyed your thoughts, Bareroots, especially that last one.
DP, you always crack me up! When you don't make me think deep thoughts, that is.

I don't really have a thought today, but the photo has one for me.
Enjoy!

One more from 'Uncle Barry':

"It's a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president... except me."
~Barry Goldwater~

I was fortunate enough to be able to meet and speak with Goldwater in '82 when he was running for re-election to the Senate. The man had an incredible sense of humor. If he'd not been in politics he could certainly have been a stand-up comic.....like a George Carlin or Dennis Miller.

Good one DP. I always admired Mr. Goldwater.

Another photo from the motel we stayed at one night along the coast. They had a beautiful garden. This is from part of it.

It's my thought for the day.
Enjoy!

That last sign should be applied to spouses and dear friends. We need to take good care of them.
Sylvia

Not to mention children and parents too. I really had a great time in that garden and as soon as I find the time I'm going to post a thread on Rebecca's Garden. Which is where I found those last two signs.

My thought for today is, I'm grateful to have good friends and time to spend with them.
Walk In Beauty!

Love the garden signs SW. Going to see if I can find some like those, or try to make them.

There are a bunch more I still want to post, but they really deserve their own thread. : - )
Here's a saying for you.

I planned on making some stepping stones this summer. RidesRedMule just posted her formula with photos for making ornamental stepping stones on the Hypertufa forum. Here's a link:

You can do the same thing that she did with the date, and incise some of these sayings, or be creative!
