And, a li'l cheese wouldn't hurt! Just sayin'! If someone said say cheese and then painted a picture of you, would it be colored with grateful and great-full or grating-full. Would you see a li'l cheese in you or cheese-graters? Do you notice others and greet with kindness or MEan-ness? Is your greeting grateful or grating? Do you see others around you or just you mostly? Do you want to know what's on minds? Or just yours...one MYnd-ness! Being grateful for everything and everyone is what makes you great-full. We are all full of great things that can speak to others. And, being grateful allows others to see and hear those great things. If we keep in mind that all great things come from God, we can do our best to keep our great-fullness from grating on others. We don't want to be full of that kind of grate. Rubbing people the wrong way! Though, sometimes you can't help it! Being grateful is a choice and being great-full is a voice... Well, being grateful is sometimes a voice, too. But, great-fullness is always a voice...spoken or unspoken. And, it always thanks the One who gives it. Being full of great is being full of grateful.

I may grate on some of you because I'm too cheesey? But, smile and say cheese anyhow! Better to be saying cheese than to be grating cheese. Attitude speaking, that is. PIMP LOL.

We figured it was okay, but the lady at the register said if she didn't see us next week, she would report it. I wasn't too worried. I can't eat the chicken.

No! Not Prince Charming. Prince Charmin. But, alas! No. It wasn't him. It must be another from his kingdom. What in the world am I talkin' about? Well, we all know that all frogs are really Princes that need kissed, right? Okay, last year while I'm seated in the ceramic porcelain throne-room I am freakin' startled. Guess what's looking up at me? A Cuban tree frog. Yep! Talk about cracking me up. Well, we caught him and took him outside and it happened 2 more times before he decided to sit upon the throne of a new kingdom! One of the neighbors throne rooms. TNT LOL. So, we found out he was coming up through the plumbing. This one didn't quite make it to the throne and he was a little smaller. Must have been Prince Charmin's younger brother, Prince Of Scott. Not to be mistaken for his other brother, the "Duke Of Swirl". Otherwise known as Sir Amick. He bowled everyone over with his big eyes staring p at you from the inside the throne. As my French teacher, Mr. Brush used to say, "Eat a live frog 1st thing every morning and nothing worse will happen the rest of the day." I propose it be "May a frog from within the depths of your throne look up at you and fill you with leaps" "Way before he leaps and, nothing worse could happen the rest of the day"! You'll notice in the photo that he is safe outside, but thinking of a way back to his kingdom and throne, as any heroic Prince would do. Now, the question remains... "Will I see him again and will I kiss the Prince of Scott and change him back to a prince from a frog?" As Mr. Brush would say "Oui or Non? Yes or no? I think this frog is starting to stick to me. Well, at least my toilet. Err...I mean, throne! They do have cool suction cups. So, this is one case where it's awesome to suck! PIMP LOL. Anyways, just remember...whatever you are faced with?

And, just make sure you're getting the dirt on the hands. And, not on the people? You know? Gossip? PIMP LOL. Just thought I'd shovel some good dirt at ya! PIMP LOL! When someone's deeply trenched in trouble? Are you runnin' your feet to them? Or runnin' your mouth about them? God gave us two feet &amp; one mouth. To talk less &amp; serve more. To run deep or run shallow. You know? To run to someone's side or run your mouth about their bad side (we all got 'em). And, by the way? Two knees, too! See you in the trenches. Throwing dirt? Shallow. Getting a little dirty to stay grounded? Especially the hands &amp; knees? Deep! Now, don't forget the good music, today, too. Have a good day. Get dirty!

What? No. I'm not talkin' 'bout "I Dream Of Jeannie's" kind of blinkin'! PIMP LOL. Yesterday, I posted 2 stories about stinkin' and thinkin' in my "Shootin' The Bull"etin Board series. You'll have to stop in to read those at my blog or FB wall. Anyways, you've all heard the saying "stinkin' thinkin"! Yep! Me, too. I've had those days where I feel like my dreams are nightmares and my hopes are horrors. I said I FEEL that way. But, I won't live that way. I will always try again! I call it: Blinkin' My "On The Brink'in" Thinkin'! When you're on the brink of giving up, but you know if you blink, it'll all change. You know? In the blink of an eye? We just gotta trust our experience, our spirit and our God. Not feelings, only. Feelings are good and from God, but can cloud the issue if they are the only thing guiding us. That's where my BLINKin' THE "ON THE THE BRINK"in' THINKin' philosophy comes in! In one easier-to-say word? Faith! It's not "I Dream Of Jeannie" magic, but, it's "I can dream again magic"! Gives your clouds a silver lining! Oh! The photoart? Just "I Dream Of Jeannie" fixin' to blink her way out of a mess. I added some new effects to make it look silver, I hope. For the silver lining. We'll see. Have faith. Just blink already!&nbsp;And, sometimes that blink is in slow motion. As in sleep on it. Start the blink when you lay down and close your eyes. Finish the blink when you wake up , open your eyes and start a new day. &nbsp;That completes my "DREAMS, FAITH AND THE BLINK OF AN EYE!" post for my "Shootin The Bull"etin Board stories.<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">&nbsp;Trace <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/T28QpFNjEpWd9GhCDpePkuluKYc/0/da"> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/T28QpFNjEpWd9GhCDpePkuluKYc/1/da">
