Go 'Shorty', Its Your Birthday

With Mother’s Day on the horizon, all the small card shops have crammed their shelves with cards with daffodils and soppy quotes on the front. Buying cards for men is always a difficult task but now it has been made near on impossible! They don’t even get a look in!

However...

We stumbled across this gem on our lunch breaks and I wanted to share it with you (sad) because I find it absolutely hilarious. The amount of time I have spent cackling over this card… unbelievable….

The back of the card is pretty cool too. It reads:

Be nice

Think happy thoughts

Champion silver linings

Love all things (not just cute things like babies and kittens)

& When you do love, love like

they do in power ballads

(you know like on a cliff with the wind in your hair & your

eyes shut, knowing you'll never know another love like this)

Watch out for dogpoo

Smile at people - even grumpy ones

Be nice

(Oh, I already said that)

Remember that anything is possible

& Whatever you do

always try to

Look on

the bright side

(Should anyone be interested, we got it from Cards Galore. Its made by someone called Rachel Bright and the website on the back is http://www.reallygood.uk.com/.)

Optimistic To The Point of Foolishness?

I have been cautioned about my optimistic nature. I have been warned that too much optimism will one day hurt me. I won't disagree because I know it has. But you know what? I'd rather live with a skip in my walk, a smile on my face and head in the clouds than the alternative.

Negativity? Its not for me, thanks.

I refuse to worry about things that might not happen. I don't want to sit around, wasting seconds, minutes and hours stressing over what ifs and what nots.

I know that things will turn out ok and if they don't, then I know that I am me and I can make things ok. I have all the tools I need to change the world: my heart, my head and my hands.

Life is beautiful and I want to keep it that way.
