WTF Friday

The Winter Apocalypse has begun. My favorite D.C. weatherman, who as far as I'm concerned controls the weather, is forecasting up to 30 inches during this storm. So as the Ice Age begins, I can't help but think warm thoughts of days gone by. Days when a family could dress in a t-shirts and shorts and stroll outside, maybe visit a zoo filled with exotic, tropical animals. Animals that are probably thinking as the snow builds up and the temperatures plummet, "WTF Mate? It's not supposed to snow in the jungle."

In honor of my tropical friends who are coming to realize the fake plants and rocks are just props in their captivity... which just became a more CHILLING reality (enter sarcastic drum riff here), I bring you today's WTF Friday post.

That's right it's WTF Friday! You may have forgotten as you stand 45 minutes in line for a jumbo pack of toilet paper and seventeen loaves of bread.

Earlier this I stumbled upon some very creative and honest signs posted in zoos around the country...

Let's face it when you go to a zoo, you see certain animals for very different reasons. This one pretty much covers it:

I'm glad they covered it all (especially the fifth day):

I'm thinking low carb:

This is advice that actually could save someone's life:

This should be easy enough:

At least they are honest:

 

These are the kind of signs I would put up if I ran a zoo, kudos zookeepers:

Happy Friday everyone! Stay safe if you're in the winter apocalypse! Kudos to DecodedStuff.com and Ebaumsworld.com for the funny photos.

What Are You Grateful For?

Dictionary.com defines the word gratitude as "the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful."

However, for me, gratitude is much more than just a feeling. Gratitude is the reason I wake up every morning. It's the reason I returned to my dream 10 years after throwing in the towel. Gratitude, for me, is everything.

If you've followed my blog, then you know my story. You know that it took a broken heart for me to realize the passion I left behind was exactly what I needed most in my life.

I found an online community built around the idea of gratitude. It's called GratitudeLog. And just one look at your homepage and you'll realize this isn't your typical online community.

As soon as you log into the site, the homepage posts a question in large text: "What are you grateful for?"

And here what a few members of this community answered:

{Timoteo Arao}: For feeling able and ready to go beyond the habitual and the common

Sheilah Sterling: We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we are or where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.~~C.H.Spurgeon

Markie Bear: To be in a position where I can provide true assistance that will make a difference in the lives of others.

The site's motto calls GratitudeLog "The Happiest Place on the Internet," and I can say this might just be true. The members are so uplifting and inspiring... and happy about life, despite challenges that come their way.

In addition to posting what you grateful for, you can also appreciate members with free virtual gifts and messages of encouragement.

I've been on the site for less than a week, and here a couple appreciations I've already received:

Debbie Josuweit: A gratitude rock for your continued inspirational writing. Thank you for lifting me up. Continued well wishes for your voice. God Bless.

Brenda Mcaleer: Hey Ivy Thanks for the follow I Love your energy you sound like an breath of fresh air so happy you are here on this Amazing Journey with us ~!~ Sending you many Blessings of Love Light Joy & Abundance in all areas of your life today and every day~!~xXx

What an excited idea to have a site that glorifies the good in life. I have to say it's definitely a place where I feel at home.
