Life is a Special Occasion!

It's National Pink Day, which encourages everybody to wear at least a little bit of pink, guys included! You don’t have to dressed up like a princess to enjoy pink, why not start by trying pink in moderation, and taking it from there? Go for a pink shirt or pink socks. After all, it’s just for one day!
Be creative. Use food coloring to make pink meals. Pink frosting on a cake or cookies will be a big hit today.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
Audrey Hepburn
The color pink represents compassion, nurturing and love. It relates to unconditional love and understanding, and the giving and receiving of nurturing.
In color psychology, pink is a sign of hope. It is a positive color inspiring warm and comforting feelings, a sense that everything will be okay. Pink can signify good health, being 'in the pink', and success as in 'everything's rosy’.
We’re having some rain this morning and I’m thankful for it. I’ll be wearing my pink today. Hope you do too.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday !

Oh how I love pecan sandies. I haven't thought of them for years. I will have to look at the store and see if they are still around. Your recipe sounds good. I love pink. I loved it when my dear Richard wore a pink shirt. Love the Audrey Hepburn quote!!
I always feel in the pink after reading your post!
And I adore Audrey Hepburn, she was beautiful inside and out. xx
