Welcome to the Finest. Please stop in....take a deep breath and enjoy some of "life's little pleasures" Please feel free to add your own.

Come on over and "celebrate living"

[knighthawk]

Hey how you all are doing?

I am celebrating living a lot these days lol

[The Thin Man]

Hi dutchess.

Praise in public…..Criticize in private.

Since I can't publicly criticize you today maybe refilling the ice cubes trays will make be feel better. :)

Learn three clean jokes.

I'll try. Maybe Mama_Bear and Ladyx can help me.

Morning dutchess. Thanks for all the things you have given us to think about today.

Give thanks for our friendships we've made at the Finest...

This I do each day. No Finer bunch of people anywhere. :-)

Is that our Weinie leading us in the pledge today? Too cute!

Learn to handle a pistol and rifle safely.

*All* of these suggestions are priceless, but this one is my favorite (((((((dutchess)))))). Beautiful job - gave me a much-needed smile today.

((((((HUGS)))))) to all and Happy Humpday!

I've been busy working and commuting all day...and what a treat it is to get home, have a cup of coffee and read your uplifting, and beautiful, thread...thank you, Miss Dutchess...)

I celebrated life today by having a good cheeseburger for lunch, sitting on a cliff watching the ocean wave at me, feeling the cool breeze on my face.

Now that I'm safely home, maybe a celebratory nap is in order.

It really is a wonderful life, and I thank God for it...and for the great nation in which I'm lucky enough to live.

awwwww. You know, I was *so* busy today I JUST got around to reading that carefully. Very pretty, Dutchess! Thanks. LOL, I'm not sure that refilling ice cube trays will lead to true happiness, but the rest sound good!

Thanks for the sweet thread. I think I do a lot of them, but I can see where some work needs to be done.

I need to learn CPR. LOL I've always wanted to learn this. I tried one time in high school and after the test, everyone asked me, "WHAT WERE YOU DOING"? Oops. I just killed the dummy.
