“After the basics, it doesn’t matter what you don’t have in this life. What matters is what you do with what you have … and how you do it!” * ~ Penny L Howe, 2013 ~ Depending on the time of day, (where you live) I wish you a good one. It is still Monday for most of you and I’m hoping the beginning of your week is shaping up to be a positive and productive one.
My “quote”, something perhaps to contemplate on this first day of the new week.~
Each day we wake, whether the sun is shining or not, we still wake and are here living and breathing! Today let’s show gratitude, leave the “numerous others” to point out (and give opinions about) other people, what they do that we don’t like, and what’s wrong with everything. Let’s remind ourselves how lucky we are and pass along caring and loving comments (about what’s right) that will make a positive difference for you and others.
Thank you for stopping by, may your day be blessed and filled with good things for you and yours,
~ Penny
Yeah, Penny, blessings to you too ๐
I think that if one wishes to add a thought to someone then proceed as long as the message is complimentary, and if not then perhaps one should keep quiet. No good can come from adding negativity, I know we can all do without that kind of interference.
Of course there is always the Zombie option? ๐

Ah yes the Z factor, definitely always an option, Andro lol! ๐ xx
I am grateful for each day and the lessons I learn along the way. I hope the remainder of your week is as lovely as you! ๐
Thank you LuAnn! I also am grateful for each day and wonderful friends like you, I am hopeful the rest of your week is as uneventful as possible (except in a positive way) Thank you for your wonderful compliment my most excellent friend! ๐

p/s That picture would make an awesome flash fiction prompt, Miss Pennylope
OMG (Gosh) Nobody has called me that since my sisters used to, when I was growing up. Quite the rush to see it written here Lyn, Thanks for a loving memory. And I agree with both your comments! ๐ xx
No better words to begin the week Penny ~ always to remember to find the gifts – to see the good! Thank you dear friend ~ you always stay true to your own teachings too — Beautiful! x much love – Robyn
Thank you Robyn, and I do remind myself of these things as well, so easy to slip in the other direction every now and then! All my love, a most pleasant night of rest for you dear friend, xo
Thank you Penny, for making a positive difference to the lives of everybody you touch.
Thank you so much Alastair, What loving words to hear from you this Monday morning. Most sincere thanks, and a great way for me to start my week dear friend! ๐ xx
I’m glad. Enjoy your day (And Kate and William had a boy)
You enjoy your evening and Yes, they are monopolizing the news media over here right now!!!!
I haven’t even got my TV on and I found out
Wouldn’t it be excellent if each new birth of life on the planet was celebrated in such a positive way … yes, a pleasant thought to focus today! ๐
and a happy Monday to you too… but then you might only get this on Tuesday… all these different time lines confuse the hell out of me as I can’t remember where everyone I follow lives…
I know Bulldog, I have this ‘all time’ international clock in my brain now that adds the appropriate number of hours depending on who I’m commenting with and where they are … confusing and awesome both!
I have been saying this all weekend to people who were complaining… Think about the blessings you already have!” In the end I got bored of hearing myself! ๐ So happy to hear from someone else today.
Thanks for brightening up a Monday for me!
Hello Claire, You would think it would be the obvious choice. I would rather feel good about things, than bad! Happy to hear from you also! My absolute pleasure to brighten your Monday for you! ๐
