I try and live my life in a positive way and I try to always keep my blog posts about positive things. We have enough heart break in life and it's high time we let that all go and live life to it's fullest no matter what is going on in our life. My Daddy told me that one time and I've never forgot it. I know it's a hard thing to do but we have to walk our days out with great faith and strength in all the thing we are facing. Being positive really does make you feel better.
Here's some Positive Synonyms for Positive LOL!
No possibility of doubt / clear and definite / definite / conclusive / certain / categorical / unequivocal / incontrovertible / indusputable / cut / explicit / firm / decisive / real / actual
Now are those some cool words or what!!

Well can you believe it. We are at the end of February and here are a few things we touched on throughout the month. On Groundhog Day, Mr. Groundhog started the month off by telling us we had 6 more weeks of winter weather.
For the whole month we celebrated American Heart Health Month and I posted all throughout the month some interesting heart healthy healing food articles in support of American Heart Health Month. Like Benefits of Sweet Potatoes, The Benefits of Red Wine, The Benefits of Almonds, Benefits of Folic Acid, Home Remedies for Heart Attack,
We talked about the name of the days of the week. Where did these names come from? Have you ever thought about it? Well I did and I had to do some reading to find out.
- Tuesday: Old English Tīwesdæg, meaning "Tiw's day". Tiw (Norse Týr) was a one-handed god associated with single combat and pledges in Norse mythology and also attested prominently in wider Germanic paganism. The name of the day is also related to the Latin name dies Martis, "Day of Mars".

We have National Flowers, Birth Month Flowers (which is also referred to as Flower-of-the-month), and Birthday Flowers. As you can see this can be extremely confusing but all 3 represent something different. This article was to help you understand the difference.

We Celebrated Valentine's Day and ate all the chocolate that we could stand. LOL. We shared chocolate recipes and all kinds of heart shaped foods too. We also took a look at several other love holidays that's celebrated in other parts of the world. And.... we even talked about Overcoming Loneliness. Not everyone has a love partner so I felt it necessary to add a couple of articles about that.

Today's Joke:
A nursery school teacher was d...
A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children fell to discussing the dog's duties.
"They use him to keep crowds back," said one youngster.
"No," said another, "he's just for good luck."
A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrant."
