Love’s never easy

It sure can make you happy

But can make you sad…

Last year we got a lovely card from Lil Man…

His valentines poem in his card to us…

Roses are red
Tulips are pink
I love you mum
Dads farts stink!!!!

At least it rhymes!!

Kids are on a roll today!

Erm...!

So I got home from the kids Bhangra and Dhol lesson and Hubby Dearest was looking at a picture, slightly concerned…
“There’s something rather phallic about this… What is it?”
“Why, it’s a story mountain, can’t you tell??”
I did have to giggle!

What a story mountain should look like...

Well, all I can say is at least she likes to write, like mummy!!

Happy Monday’s

Smile!

Go on, giggle!
I do dare you!
We don’t laugh enough
Nowadays, it’s true.

The stresses and strains
Of modern life,
Tensions between
Hubby and wife.

Kids drive us crazy,
Work as well,
Is it really so bad,
This place where we dwell?

Step back,
Take a glance,
And you’ll see
There’s a chance,

That some things
Are funny.
It’s not all
About money.

So go on, take a breath,
Now a big belly laugh!
Not a little polite one,
Don’t do things by half!

If onlookers think
You’re looking quite mad
Remind yourself
Their lives must be sad.

Encourage a titter
A guffaw, a chuckle
Laugh so hard
That you need to buckle!

So go on, giggle,
I really dare you,
For laughter is medicine,
That really is true.

But I Smile Anyway

When a cloud appears
In my sky,
I sit and wonder,
I ask God why.

Still I smile anyway

It all happens
For a reason, they say.
And I think
We’ll find a way.

So I smile anyway

Negative thoughts,
They try to push through,
Trying their hardest
To make me feel blue,

But I smile anyway

Then I think about
All that is mine.
Things are great,
I’m feeling fine.

And I smile anyway

By Ritu

It’s true, what they say, ‘a smile costs us nothing, but gives so much.’
A smile, the most priceless possession you have.
Still, though it has such immense value, don’t hide it away.
The more you use it, the more you show it, the greater the happiness it brings.

Smile everyone! 😀
