Use Your Heart as a Weapon and It Hurts Like Heaven

1. What a way to kick off the day - by watching this YouTube video a student posted on Facebook. It made me smile and chuckle. 
2. Another funny video to make me smile and chuckle today.
3. I have to toot my own horn.  I'm not sure whom I learned this from (parents, Oprah, watching 80s sitcoms because they all had a moral to the story), but I love the fact that I can remain calm in so many situations. Today would/could have been very challenging to some and for me, it's like, "Ok. So what steps do I take to move forward?"   No meltdown or freak-out, just a lot of laughing (because of the initial shock the began with an "Oh Shit Moment") then you bring it all back together and put it in perspective. 
4. “Choose to be kind over being right and you'll be right everytime.” ― Richard Carlson. Such an awesome quote I read today. 
5.  I heard one of the new Coldplay songs tonight. It's called Hurts Like Hell.  I love the energy of this song.  I wouldn't be surprised if it were used in a trendy commercial soon.

Smile. Your Face Loves When You Do.

1. It’s been one of those days when you hear a voice sing and you just can’t get enough of hearing it.  Thank you Shirley Bassey,  I love your voice! (hear and see her performances here - just as I watched them today).
2. Tonight at work, I noticed that we have nearly 6000 students who have signed up on our Student Organization system.  WOW!! For the longest time I thought it was only about 1000.  What a great surprise and I LOVE surprises!
3. You can have a really trying day with people and there is always at least one person that can make you laugh and forget about it.  I love that about my friends. They have a knack for doing that even when they don’t know that they’re doing it.
4. Apparently my outfit today was looking good. I got several compliments on it.  Gotta love compliments.  It’s like a pay-it-forward esteem boost.
5. I love when I can make a person smile. I love it even more when people and things can make me smile just like seeing The Clark Sisters on the show, Unsung.
