Terrific Tuesday

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Welcome to Tuesday!   I invite you to give yourself a moment to reflect on what makes you smile! What do you enjoy? What are you excited about? What do you love? Who do you love? Write a post about it and then share it here to help others be encouraged to acknowledge the blessings around us! It is so important to keep looking for the good because there is so much bad out there – well, if you believe the news.

Here are the things which made me smile recently!

Kindergarten artwork.  I love it!  And, yes, I like love too! 😉

What else?  I am loving getting up earlier in the morning (only a bit really) and putting my quiet time first (that was a change).  If nothing else, it allows me to have a smile on my face when I greet my family in the morning.  I definitely want to be remembered as a mom who smiled!  If you would like some accountability in this area – check out the HelloMornings Challenge. They are registering now (until Friday, May 3) for their next session that will include a Bible study in the book of John.  (Check out this blog post for more info)

That’s it this week for me! I hope to have a few more folks join us – I SO love reading how others are blessed!

Remember – Don’t make this too hard. You can write a book about your blessings or just share a photo or a quick note about what made you smile this week. No rules! ok…one rule. Please link to the actual post and not just to your blog.

If you have ANY questions about any of this – please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Hope you smile today!!

TerrificTuesdayWelcome to Tuesday! Is it a sunny Tuesday or a gloomy Tuesday in your corner of the world?  Whatever it is, give yourself a moment to reflect on what makes you smile! What do you enjoy?  What are you excited about?  What do you love?  Who do you love?  Write a post about it and then share it here to help others be encouraged to acknowledge the blessings around us!

So, our first Terrific Tuesday is behind us! There were 4 of you who joined me – THANK YOU!! I am SO happy that you joined me and I hope you can keep posting!  In this life, it’s so important to keep looking for the good because there is bad all around us!

Here are the things which made me smile recently!

BoredShorts TV – have you found this series on YouTube yet?  They interview kids and then make a video with adults acting to the kids voices…does that make sense?  My favorite is Wedding Jitters (see below) and my kids love FACT!  They posts new ones every Monday….the day where I sometimes need a reason to smile! 😉

Another thing that makes for a Terrific Tuesday is that I am anticipating a new podcast that will begin in June called The Pep Talk Podcast!  I think it will be a great encouragement!

Remember – Don’t make this too hard.  You can write a book about what you love, who you love, or just share a photo and a quick note about what made you smile this week.  No rules!  ok…one rule.  Please link to the actual post and not just to your blog.

If you have ANY questions about any of this – please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Hope you smile today!!

TerrificTuesdayWelcome to Tuesday! Is it a sunny Tuesday or a gloomy Tuesday in your corner of the world?  Whatever it is, give yourself a moment to reflect on what makes you smile!

With yesterday’s tragedy in Boston, I hesitated to start this today. But these are the days in which identifying and sharing our blessings can be most helpful. When we are sad and discouraged, it is helpful to see the blessings around us and be thankful for them! I hope you can do this with me. If you don’t have a blog to share in the Linky below, please use the comments below to share!

Here is what is currently making me smile!

My recent thrift store acquisition!  I love a good deal!!  And, I looooooove purses! This one is big enough to hold my iPad too!! 😀

005smAnother great deal!  I didn’t take a picture of the entire thing – it is a new Bible book cover.  But it’s the front that I love – my favorite verse in a beautiful design! And, it was on clearance! It is so perfect for me!! 😀

So, that’s it! Not too hard, right?  Don’t make this too hard.  You can write a book about your loved one or just share a line about what made you smile this week.  No rules!  ok…one rule.  Please link to the actual post and not just to your blog. If today isn’t a good day for you to share, this linky will be available for one week….and then we will start a new one.

If you have ANY questions about any of this – please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Hope you smile today!!

So, here’s what I’m thinking….

…when I decided to start blogging again, I looked for daily topics to help motivate me….and I was happy to find one for every weekday (I plan to keep my weekends quiet) except for Tuesdays!  It’s not that there aren’t any linky’s or meme’s on Tuesday… but there aren’t any that fit me!  I kept looking for something and it just wasn’t there. And, I kept hearing a little voice saying “so start one!” And, I kept looking…and looking…and looking!

Of course, I realize the moment I post this, one of you will email me and you will know all about a linky that I would love – well, it’s too late! 😉

I sent an IM to my friend, CC, who listened to my crazy idea. She didn’t laugh or tell me to get off the internet and seek help!  She did, however, agree to help me create a button:

TerrificTuesday

Isn’t it cute?!

Starting next Tuesday, I’m going to start Terrific Tuesday!

Terrific Tuesday is a chance for you to share about what you are currently excited about, what you love, who you love, whatever it is that is currently making you smile!  C’mon, there has got to be something! Look for it! We are surrounded by blessings!  Share them! This is heavily inspired by a feature on CC’s podcast “Geeky Girls Knit” which she does with her daughter Damaris, where they share their current “Yummies!” now we can share back!  (check out their podcast if you are a knitter who loves geeky stuff!)

There won’t be a lot of rules.  I just ask that you link to the specific post where you share.  You can save the image above and link back to the linky page (posted every Tuesday morning PST) if you would like!  No pressure, it’s all good! 😉 If you have any questions, please use the Contact Me page to send me a note!

I hope you will join me…I sure don’t want to be alone!
