... is the conviction that you have lived the life you wanted to live - with the rough and the smooth, the good and the bad - but yours, shaped by your own choices, and not someone else's." Michael Ignatieff 
Just a few moments of my life ...
and sharing a few smiles with friends ...
and choosing to live life to the fullest ...
on these fine days.

WELCOME!
A new day. A new month. A new post.
I was thinking back on a lot of the funny moments of my past - and these photos reminded me of some of those times. The times where I had a smile on my face. That smile seems to always be in my heart ... and helps me through the days - good and bad.
Feel free to share your funny moments ... or times that you were happiest!
And don't forget ... to Smile!

P.S. One of my favorite songs that we sang in H.S. Chorus was 'Smile' (lyrics by Charlie Chaplin):
"Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile.
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
if you just smile."
Me Again! I just updated my Name Dropping Blog - so - if you want a chuckle ... stop by and take a look. The link is on my main Blog page. There are a couple of shots that should bring a smile to the faces of some of the 'old SB gang'. : )
Enjoy!

So glad to hear you're still around, Brenda. I'm just hangin' 'round today visitin' the ole blogs. Pouring rain here today and very dreary, even though it's the first day of daylight saving time. :(
Glad to see your smile Brenda :)
On my way over to your name dropping blog.
Happy Monday,
Enid
Hi Leslie and Enid!
Thanks for stopping by!
So ... Leslie ... on Franny's Blog you mentioned that you used to stop by there every day - but have 'moved on' ... and I was wondering where you had moved on to. I've wanted to suggest that we all move to another Blog - maybe yours or Enid's - as Franny has been so busy ... but I hate to mention anything - since she has been through so much lately. But - on the other hand - I miss the more lively interaction that we used to have - and think that needs to be fostered a bit. Of course - people could still stop by Franny's too. So ... what do you think? Would you be willing to be 'the meeting place' - 'unofficially'? Or is there another Blog that people are going to more often?
Enid - hope you enjoyed my 'Name Dropping' Blog. I was just in a silly mood that day. In fact ... I've been in a silly mood lots lately. : ) I'm having some fun 'guy stuff' going on ... and that has put me in a particularly good spirit lately. Not a bad thing. : )
So ... what's been going on with you two? I haven't had much time to stop by other Blogs - and miss that. I was on such a crazy work schedule for a few months ... and need to go 'visiting' again ... now that things have settled down a little (for a few weeks, at least). Haven't really done it (stopping by other Blogs) since NYE. Can't believe it's been so long!
Take care, you two! Hope to see you again soon! And any others who stop by!!
Happy Day!
Brenda
One more thing ... if you have time ... go to my 'Name Dropping' Blog ... and read 'The Broom Story'. I've been walking down memory lane again. Ha Ha
Thanks P!! Have fun with Mickey!! : )
Love you!!

Gee Brenda, I think you misunderstood me (or I didn't make myself clear). I just meant I moved on to another blog that day. I keep checking in, but nothing much is happening there. I don't mind people popping in to my blog but I guess I'll have to be more regular about posting. Whatever everyone wants is fine with me. But Franny's site is still okay, too.
Hi Leslie,
Thanks for the clarification. I did just misunderstand. I guess it just stirred a thought in me - because, at one point in the past, we had suggested moving from Blog to Blog - to give different people a chance to be 'Hostess' ... and we did that for a while. And ... as Franny has been through so much - and hasn't had time to change her Blog for such a long time - it would take that off of her - if someone else did it. Though - on the other hand - I think she probably really appreciates the support from everyone. So that would be my only concern - and that is why I mentioned it here ... and not over there. I wouldn't want to do anything to cause trouble ... or make her feel bad. Anyway - I'll keep my 'mouth' shut ... as it's probably not my place. And - maybe it's better to come from Franny - and not one of us. : )
I stopped over to your Blog tonight - and loved your post. It was cracking me up! Too funny!
Well ... it is 2 AM here ... and I just finished a long Email to my older Sis - who lives in Homestead, FL - and she was up working on her computer ... waiting for her hair to color (ha ha) ... and so I wrote her a note. But now ... I better get to bed. I have a meeting in the morning ... and it is going to be very hard getting out of bed in the morning. : )
Have a good one!! And - thanks again!
Later!!
Brenda
P.S.
Leslie - I've also meant to mention to you - that I got the photo you sent ... and will change that out when I have a chance. I haven't been on the website in so long - that I have to try to remember the password (ha ha). Anyway - just wanted you to know that I planned to do that - and that I wasn't ignoring it. : )
Gosh, Brenda, I don't even remember sending you a new photo, but in case it was before the real latest one, I'll email you that one to use instead. Just taken beginning of this month. ta ta for now.
Thanks Leslie! It was quite a while ago ... while I was traveling! I got the new pic ... and maybe I'll have time to get that up over the weekend.
Take care!
Brenda
