Today all the stars have aligned and not only do Nature Friday and Final Friday Fiction fall on the same day this month, it is also MY BIRTHDAY!! To celebrate, I wrote a special birthday reflection using pictures from my ocean! Of course, Mama and Daddy also mentioned there will be cookies and vanilla yogurt later this evening!
For my birthday "page 87" Mama picked lines from the cult classic Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas written by Hunter S. Thompson.
-line 8 ~ to avoid a nasty scene
-line 12 ~ It was his idea
-line 16 ~ You'd better take care
Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the Rulez and join the fun!!
As I get older, I am learning to appreciate the pawsitive things in life and to avoid getting caught up in negative things...
I try my best not to sweat the small stuff
I try to take an idea an make it a reality...
Enjoy the company of others is something I'm working on
I appreciate the angels I have had in my life...
....and do my best to enjoy the family I have...
(even my bratty little sister)
I always try to be a shining star...
....but take care to respect others and their opinions...
But the most important thing I have learned is to live each day to the fullest and enjoy everything it has to offer!
The End
Thanks to Dougie and Zoey for my pawsome birthday card!
I got a special package from my gal Mabel
today...
But Mama won't let me open it until tonight, so stay tuned Monday and I'll let you know what was in it!!
