TURNED-UP TUESDAY

209 – Tuesday, July 28, 2009

Today is “Turned-up Tuesday” – send the message to the corners of your mouth!! Life is a blessing and should be enjoyed. Enjoyment begets smiles and yours should be two ‘S’s’ with a ‘mile’ in between!! Make it big – make it teethy!! Show your pleasure with others and laugh! The Bible says that “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine”! - Your prescription for living today is a hearty dose of mirth and joy! You have control over your own outlook on life – choose a positive and good one!! Be happy with who you are – be overjoyed with who you are allowed to be!! Send a message or an email to a friend – tell them why they make you happy! Hug a child and smile at them!! (Preferably one with whom you are well acquainted so you do not endanger your freedom – sad, is it not?) Blow a kiss to your spouse and tell them why they make you smile! Grin like a fool to your postal delivery person when you wave at them! (At the very least it will help them pass the time as they make their route trying to figure out why you looked like a Cheshire Cat today!?) Twinkle your eyes at the check-out person at the grocery and before they can say their piece, tell them to have a blessed day, and thank them for doing such a great job in taking care of you!! One of my favorite responses to someone asking how I am today is, “All the better for having seen you today!” which never fails to get a smile from whoever asked me. Think about it – is your load not lightened, is your burden not more bearable, is your day not more peaceful when you purpose to have a positive and good day? Remember the song, “When You’re Smiling’”? The rest of that lyric says “The whole world smiles with you!” In the day, it did not matter whether it was Frank or Dean singing, the message was still the same!! If you have never tried to make this happen for yourself, there is never going to be a better day than “Turned-up Tuesday!” Get smiling!!!
