Love your Funny-Bones!!!

Today was Love your Funny-bone Day.  In choir we shared jokes and embarrassing stories together.  One of the girls offered this story:

"So my dad was driving in his car the other day, when all of a sudden a rabbit hopped out in front of him and proceeded to not move.  Well, you guessed it, he ran the rabbit over.  So my dad gets out of the car and walks over to the rabbit.  DEAD. Within less than thirty seconds, a woman stopped by the side of the road ran over and sprayed something on the rabbit.  After the spray, the rabbit proceeded to hop up, wave, and bounce away.  "What is that that you just sprayed?" my dad asked.  The woman turned to him and replied, "Hairspray.  It's proven to give life to dead hare and a lively wave!""

Our whole choir was laughing hysterically!  Laughter really is one of those things that can brighten your whole day.  When you're tired and stressed, find something to laugh about.  Take a second to laugh at yourself.  It will be well worth it.

"Love" Week

With Valentine's Day so close, my choir has been learning about love and appreciation all week.  Monday was Love your Body Day.  We took about five minutes of class to talk about how much we should and do love our bodies, no matter what size or shape they are.  As women, this is huge for us!  I think that when we realize our own beauty, both physical and spiritual, that we will then begin to shine in ways that we could never have imagined.  What a lovely idea to have us all share how we feel about our physical selves and take time out of our day to thank our bodies for what they do for us!  Yesterday for Love Week we were asked the question:  What do you love about today?  The lists were stupendous!  From family, music, choir, bodies, forgiveness, energy, and sunlight, we all had so many things that we could love and be thankful for from just that one day.  Imagine how much we have to be grateful for if we think about what we love about our entire lives!  I'm excited to keep up Love Week and see what self-discoveries come next!

A Fresh Start

I've always felt that one of the most important goals in life is to come to understand yourself and then accept yourself as you are while knowing your strengths and weaknesses.  It is only after you know yourself that you 

can improve yourself.  Well, this is just the beginning of my journey toward self discovery.  Who am I really?  I'm giving myself the challenge today to start experiencing myself--to try new things, meet new people, and learn from my experiences.
