Getting in Touch with Your Inner Frogger

A few silly frog thoughts for today, brought to you by All About Frogs:

Why are frogs so happy?

They eat whatever bugs them!

What car do frogs like the best?

The Beetle!

What do you say to a hitch-hiking frog?

Hop in!

What kind of sandles do frogs wear?

Open toad!

What is the first book a tadpole reads?

Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka.

Enough with the frog jokes, already!

The shot above is one from a series I've been running this year, called Thoughts for 2009. From an "inspirational" e-mail that's been circulating. For other Veggie Inspirations, please see Joy to the World; I Concur, Wholeheartedly; Living the 10th Commandment, and The Good Life.

I don't know who to credit for these snapshots of life, but I sure do like 'em!

I Concur~Wholeheartedly!

I could have used a little of this advice in my younger years. Now that I'm a much more Mellow Fellow, I tend to just go with the flow.

What was it that got me so riled up when the World was Very Young? I have no clue. At all. Those days, of course, were before I discovered Pop'rs and their calming effect...

The Good Life

Aunt Julie shared an e-mail with me that's going around, called "Thoughts for 2009." Not sure where it originated, but the communiqué consists of inspirational photos and sayings. The above tandem struck me as being particularly encouraging for a cold Saturday morning in February.

I'm encouraged for a number of reasons. Our health is good~well, except for the Killer Cold I seem to have come down with! The sun is rising earlier in the morning and setting later in the evening. We might not have much, but we have each other. I visited a friend's blog the other day, and she had posted photos of the first crocuses and daffodils trying to make a valient effort to push through the dead leaves and the frost of the Winter of 08-09. Could the day lilies be far behind?

When you get lemons, make lemonade. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
