★~ World Kindness Day:
Conceptual physics teaches us that the world has a “matching program.” Each time we are kind (the world does not judge big or small) our kindness is repeated somewhere in the world. Celebrate today by being consciously kind, noticing when others are kind to you and paying it forward.
★~ National Indian Pudding Day:
Indian pudding is custard made with molasses, cornmeal, milk, butter, spices, eggs, and sometimes apples. Once baked, Indian pudding looks like an inedible mush, but after one bite rumor has it you will be hooked!
This recipe has been around for centuries. Early American colonists did not have the necessary ingredients to make plum pudding, so they created an alternative using cornmeal. Indian pudding is still a popular dessert around New England and other parts of the country. Today, enjoy some Indian pudding.

Wishing you snoozzzzz kind of Sunday….or at least time to read a book or spend some time exploring my new addiction Pinterest.

My toothbrush is blue. I have always had a blue toothbrush my ex-wife and i once had a fight about the color of my toothbrush. I will kindly spare you the details.
Plan to snooze a lot today.
I can not help but me curious. . .Hope you are enjoying your day.
Such a little kindness goes a long way! Now what I wonder is who housebroke an Armadillos? My toothbrush is pink!
You know i wondered the same thing…a just don’t think of an Armadillos as a housepet but what do I know.
My tooth brush is yellow. My favorite color. But someone in my family has red, blue and green. Mine will always be yellow.
You have to stand for something or you will fall for anything!!

My toothbrush it pink..Do not want an armadillo for a pet. Will stick with the doggie persons. Slept in until 8:00 this morning. Did not go to church, so I feel a sinner. But, I did read my Bible, so does that clear me?
Pink? I would have guessed that was the number 1 toothbrush color although I have to admit before now I had not thought much about the color of toothbrushes. Yes dogs are much better…lets face it most of us would look down right silly walking our armadillo on a leash and coller. I can imagine God missing you this morning I can not imagine him minding if you caught a few extra winks this morning. Bible reading seems like an excellent alternative especially when read in bed with a nice hot cup of coffee.
