Today is Thursday, August 6th, 2015; Karen's Korner #3119

Yesterday Margaret Cramer, a good friend, loaned me a book to read and savory. Lots of short thoughts and encouraging words.

Today's is the first installment from it - "How many days of the week can be extraordinary?" - written and compiled by Dan Zadra & Kobi Yamada:


"......there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives.

"Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day.

"Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought.

"Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy.

"But think about it. If you laugh, you think and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."


~ Jim Valvano, college basketball coach, from his ESPY Awards speech, given eight weeks before he died of cancer
