Easy to "SPOT the ENTHUSIASM" in this photo! These hats look like little egg heads and also crack me up !!!! This is Mariah and her dance friend Chloe yesterday at an in studio dress rehearsal for the upcoming BSOBAD show next week. |
 |
Mariah's little friend, Chloe, took this photo... and did a pretty good job I thought (especially seeing as she is only 5!) I like to think Mariah's ENTHUSIASM for polka dots, and lots of things in life comes from her Grammie D! |
 |
Mariah last night at Boston Pizza on our way to the studio. She was visualizing her favorite meal... BUGS'N'CHEESE! |
 |
A little ENTHUSIASM was shared on Mother's Day Sunday when we did a family brunch together! |
 |
A MOTHER- DAUGHTER Picture... sharing the love of motherhood together on Mother's Day! |
 |
Another MOTHER-DAUGHTER picture Mariah loves her mommy! |
 |
A FATHER- SON photo as well... Spot the Entusiasm! |
 |
A great photo of Nels and Jana at the mother's day brunch on Sunday. |
 |
Mariah and Beau were both very ENTHUSIASTIC about the new sand box their daddy built them this weekend! |
 |
My cute card and gift from Jana, Nels and kids. Jana was particularly ENTHUSIASTIC about the card! |
 |
The little ROSE plant is a gift to me from my FATHER-IN LAW, GREG. He is always ENTHUSIASTIC and THOUGHTFUL about little gifts he buys to share! |
 |
Brian was ENTHUSIASTIC about assembling this shed in our back yard on Sunday and Monday! Shuffle enjoyed being out doors, too! |
 |
Brian's ENTHUSIASM was fading a bit by this point! He took a break and I am hoping the doors and window will eventually get into the shed! |
 |
Brian was also ENTHUSIASTIC about a little garden this year bought and planted all within an hour! |
 |
My doggie, SHUFFLE, is usually pretty ENTHUSIASTIC... especially when there is food and or company involved! I like to think of myself as a fairlyENTHUSIASTIC person! I believe that stems to my upbringing. My parents always stressed the importance of being ENTHUSIASTIC. I find when there is someone to share my ENTHUSIASM with it is much easier to be ENTHUSIASTIC! I have had lots of ENTHUSIASM around me the last few days. Mother's Day was an ENTHUSIASTIC example! We enjoyed a nice brunch at Saskatoon Inn and were seated at table #10, which added to the perfect TEN kind of experience it was. We followed Jana, Nels and the kids back to their place to see the new sand box in their yard. The kids were definitely ENTHUSIASTIC about that! Brian was very ENTHUSIASTIC to build our shed on Sunday while the weather was good. We did also pop by briefly to see his MOM on Mother's day. My father-in-law, Greg, treated me to a lovely little ROSE plant while there as well! He is always so thoughtful... not to mention ENTHUSIASTIC! I was thrilled to hear from my son, COLIN, on Mother's Day, too. He is always so good at remembering the important dates in the year, so even though my contacts with him are few and far between... I am always very ENTHUSIASTIC whenever he calls me! Monday night's TV programs made me very ENTHUSIASTIC, too. Dancing With The Stars was fabulous... and the finale of this season's series called "SMASH" was awesome, too... can't wait till the new season of that begins again! Yesterday I did my Body Vive at the gym and I do find the instructor of that, TRENT, to be one of the most ENTHUSIASTIC instructors ever. He is very motivating and inspiring always with his great classes! Yesterday I joined two of my neighbors, Heather, and Cheryl for a STARBUCKS coffee. Funny how we live so close and see so little of each other, but after yesterday's ENTHUSIASTIC visit... we may make it happen more often now! Yesterday was an in studio dress rehearsal for Mariah for her dance recital coming up next week. From my very unbiassed opinion... I can say this from watching her in her little costume with her dancing buddies.... one of her very best traits and the main inspiration for today's blog title is that she exudes "ENTHUSIASM"!!!!! We also stopped at Boston Pizza for a quick supper on our way there... and she was very ENTHUSIASTIC about describing her dance rehearsal to our waiter there... and he was so good about being ENTHUSIASTIC to hear all about it, too. This morning former ballet teacher from my "Diane Will Dance Studio" NADINE... popped by for a chai tea latte on the deck over a very sweet and enthusiastic little visit! The weather was absolutely beautiful out, and Shuffle was ENTHUSIASTIC to have company as she always is! I notice lately so many people are busy in the fast paced lives they lead. It is nice when people have time to just slow down and enjoy the simple little things in life and appreciate those and be enthusiastic about the good that life has to offer! So on that note... here is my poem of the day! If everyone was the same, it wouldn't be so great, But if we had enthusiasm, we could all celebrate... The things in life that we like most, Look for the positives and give them a toast. Forget about the things that get us down, And just wear a smile... instead of a frown! Forget about things that really do not matter, Look for the good, and say things that will flatter! Because in the end... Enthusiasm is the best, Staying upbeat is like a virtual test! Negatives really do not get us very far, And Enthusiasm shines as brightly as a star! So when in doubt try open up to happy... It will likely change your mood from down to feeling snappy! Enthusiasm truly is the way to go... Just give it a try today, and you will shine and glow! |
