IRIS AND JOE, DUCK AND DOG, BEST OF FRIENDS WHO BRING JOY AND LAUGHTER TO ALL!

It's been a long time since I've laughed. I guess it's the stresses of everyday life that have prevented me from finding humorous moments because responsibilities are all around me. However that all changed this past Saturday when I had a reunion with my two favorite animals, Joe, the lab dog and Iris the pekin duck.

I first me Iris and Joe at a ski lodge in Northern Michigan when I was visiting a friend who was the assistant manager of a ski lodge. Joe was the dog who belonged to the manager of the ski lodge but Iris was a lost and lonely duck who found her way to the ski lodge and became part of the family. I clicked with Iris and Joe immediately and had so much fun with them. Iris was constantly following Joe everywhere and clinging to her best friend at all moments. Never in my life have I witnessed a duck loving a dog so much. This bond between duck and dog inspired me to write a story which is currently being illustrated and when completed will be sold on Amazon Kindle.

This past Saturday my friend took me to the new home of the man/manger of the ski lodge who owns Iris and Joe. He was away for the weekend and asked my friend and I to come check on Iris and Joe and keep them entertained for a few hours. Oh what fun it was to watch duck chasing dog along the shores of the beach and even into the cool icy waters. Iris and Joe were so delightful to watch with all their adventures that all I did was laugh and laugh. I laughed more on Saturday, the 11th of March 2023 than the whole year put together thus far.

THE BENEFITS OF LAUGHING:

Burns Calories, Decreases Stress, Strengthens Immune System, Improves Mood, Reduces Pain, Increases Positivity & Lungs Get Rid of Stale Air, Allowing More Oxygen to Enter!

Wow!!! With all those benefits, we should all be laughing more. Thank You Sweet Iris & Joe for bringing moments of LAUGHTER! Now my only wish is for your story IRIS & JOE to be successful so you can bring happiness and laughter to others.


BASK IN MOMENTS OF LAUGHTER!!!!😆😀😊😍😆

Starbucks & Debbie

This afternoon I stopped into a Starbucks and asked for a sample of the new "Blond Roast." I was expecting just a tiny cup sample but instead the barista poured me a generous cup of the "Blond Roast"  and recommended trying it with a few drops of vanilla syrup which I did. What a beautiful moment it was to enter Starbucks wanting to try the new "Blond Roast" and given a generous sample with kindness and warmth by Debbie the barista. STARBUCKS and its customers are very fortunate to have such a shining star employee as Debbie who brightened my day by greeting me with a big smile and friendly "May I help you?" When I asked for a sample she rewarded me with something I just wasn't expecting.  How nice it is to know that every now and then someone can make all the difference in just a few moments. This was the case with the amazing STARBUCKS barista Debbie who deserves high praises for being so awesome. Thank You Starbucks and Thank You D...

The Cows

After attending a lovely morning Christmas service I decided to take a bicycle ride through the countryside. I was on my own and had nobody to spend Christmas with so I just kept paddling on the trail and enjoying the scenery and smell of the fragrant pine trees.  When  I stumbled across cows in the distance I was ecstatic because I love cows, so I turned my bike around and meandered to the pubic road that led to the farm. When I saw two cows in the meadow my face lighted up with joy. The cows saw me and ran to the fence to greet me. For several minutes they just stood there next to me and made me feel so loved and appreciated. I no longer felt alone on Christmas Day. In moments when we feel so alone how assuring it is to know that there are some living creatures to cheer us up. Those two sweet cows I spent time with on a warm Christmas afternoon were beautiful CHRISTMAS moments. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL LIVING CREATURES!

The Penny

Holding down three jobs and always multi-tasking it felt so good to sit down for a few moments in the backyard the other day. I dreamed of easier times when life was more "carefree." Suddenly I noticed a penny on the ground. It hadn't been there before and my inner voice told me to pick it up. I did and was mesmerized with the year engraved on the penny. That year I was blessed with the best carefree summer of my life and the memories flooded my mind of that sweet summer long ago. That penny gave me hope that my guardian angels knew my pain and distraught and assured me that "moments" of happy times will come again someday. "The penny" was my sign of hope that someday there will be carefree moments again. Believe in those little signs that come into your moments of everyday life.
