November 7th Is Hug-a-Bear Day!

2009-11-07T02:24:05Z

I wonder what they were thinking! What is Hug-a-Bear Day? I mean, do they really expect us to go out in the wilderness, find a grizzly friend, hug him and say, "Happy Hug-a-Bear Day!" And what did they expect the bear to do in return? Grunt his happiness? What if it turns out to be Squash-a-Human Day for Bears?

The only "huggable" bear that I can think of is Winnie the Pooh. To me, he is the cuddliest bear. He also has a philosophical outlook to life. Winnie the Pooh was my childhood buddy and a faithful friend. Here are some Winnie the Pooh quotes.

I hope you find a teddy bear to hug. Winnie the Pooh suits me just fine.

Tap Your Feet Like Happy Feet

When I watched Happy Feet, the movie, with my kids, I couldn't help falling in love with the penguins. Mumble, the cute foot-tapping penguin really made me think about staying true to my talents. Kids enjoy the antics of Lovelace and his coterie. In all, Happy Feet makes a good family-time movie. Here is my favorite collection of Happy Feet quotes.

Holy Ghostbusters! Halloween Is Here

2009-10-31T05:08:39Z

I have attended some unique Halloween parties. I am sure you have too. What I would really want to do is to write some of these Halloween quotes in dripping blood (paint, of course!) all over my walls. A quote, such as this one from Shakespeare, can send a chill down a reader's spine: "Be wary then; best safety lies in fear." I would probably engrave funny Halloween quotes on party accessories such as place mats.

Food would be no problem. I would just follow About.com's Southern Food Guide's Halloween recipes.

It's time to let your hair down and party. Halloween is here to herald the winter chill.

Every morning when I read the newspaper, my eyes invariably wander to the famous quote that is printed at the top of the page. Sometimes, the quote inspires me, at other times it makes me introspect.

Why do you read famous quotes? If you are expecting answers, quotes may not be helpful. They may not help you decide which stocks to invest in or how should you cook your steak today.

Here are some famous inspirational quotes to begin your day with a bang. With famous inspiring quotes you can motivate yourself and others around you. Elevate your thoughts to a higher level with famous Bible quotes and famous people quotes. With a few famous quotes and sayings, you can be the life of any party.
