A BEAUTIFUL DAY

GOOD MORNING!!!

Lately I've been 'under the weather' battling this cold. But this morning, as I got out of bed, I could feel that today was going to be a great day. I feel much better, thank you! Might have to do with all the positive energy I 'soaked in' yesterday at my last class.
My friend, Diane, brought a cake and a very delicious and sweet maple syrup pie to class. She also brought her collection of sheep themed coffee mugs to drink tea that she had also brought.  Mine said: "I love EWE" . Of course we have a play-on-words here which actually is a homonym of YOU.  If  you look up the pronunciation of both words you will see the same phonetic symbols ... Have a look!

Everyone knows what 'you' means of course, 
but now you know that a 'ewe' is a female sheep.


Now back to Diane's friendly gesture ... 
As a really good friend, she wanted to celebrate my birthday with me because she won't be able to on Sunday. So, thanks to her, I celebrated part of my special day, in advance, with some of you also! Brilliant! ... Thus, all that positive energy. 

Thanks for all your wishes and hugs, 
especially taking a chance with my germs ;)

And a very special THANKS to you, Diane!

Now my birthday celebrations have started 
and will go on till Sunday! YAY!!!
That's why I'm not sick anymore! Yessss!
The perfect medication for a bad cold is called:

 FRIENDSHIP 

NOTE:
A male sheep is called a RAM and the ram is the symbol used to represent ARIES, my zoological ... OOOPS! Astrological sign.




... EAT MORE CAKE !!!
