Here's some fun for the day……
TRIVIA:
Who sculpted Mt. Rushmore?
OPTICAL ILLUSION:
Look at the center of the image below for 30 seconds. Then quickly shift your gaze somewhere with a white background. You should see an afterimage of the US flag with the correct colors. This happens because your eye reverses the colors in the after image
JOKE:
Q: What has a bottom at it's top?
A: A leg.
QUESTION TO PONDER
If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?
COMIC FUN:
TRICIA'S TWEET OF THE DAY:
There is no substitute for prayer, especially in circumstances that seem impossible.
SOUNDS THAT BRING HAPPINESS
I recently wrote a post on how various smells can bring back memories. I thought I'd take a look at sounds today. Of all the senses, smells evoke the most memories, but sounds can bring back memories as well and help evoke emotions. Here's a few of my favorite sounds:
1. A running stream of water in the woods
2. An outdoor fountain
3. Birds on a spring day
4. Ocean waves
5. Tree frogs on a summer night
6. Crickets on a summer night
7. The Mary Tyler Moore Theme song
8. The sound of various machines in a hospital
9. A fan
10. Humidifier
11. Window air conditioning unit
12. Rain on the roof and thunderstorms
13. Crackling fireplace
14. Christmas music
15. Car driving on a gravel road or driveway
16. The 'pop' of a cork being pulled
17. The sound of coffee brewing (I'm not a Keurig chick)
18. The opening credits music to "It's A Wonderful Life"
19. Chalk on a chalk board
20. A train whistle (especially the sound of the train at Disney's Magic Kingdom)
21. The hum of a lawnmower on a summer day
22. A fizzy drink poured over ice
23. The voices of my family
I asked my hubby what sounds he liked. There were a few that we had in common. He's an outdoorsmen, so these were the ones that came to him first:
24. Hound dogs on trail
25. Bull Elk Bugle
26. Flushing quail ( not down the toilet…..flushing them out of the woods)
27. Quaking Aspen trees
28. Cattle lowing ( mooing)
29. Turkey gobble
30. The sound of a forest at dawn and dusk.
Enjoy some sounds today!
