Kiss Your Brain
Eva has introduced us to a new phrase that she learned in Kindergarten:
“Kiss your brain!”
When you come up with a good idea or do something smart, you’re supposed to kiss your brain to thank it. You put your hand to your lips like you’re about to blow a kiss, but instead you put the kiss on your hand and deliver it to the top of your noggin. This will show your brain that you appreciate its hard work, so it’ll want to keep working for you.
Have you kissed your brain lately?
There was a good post over at Fun Spirit recently about using puzzles and games to challenge your brain. This might be a good way to give your brain a little kiss. Let it do something fun! I believe that we bloggers kiss our brains all the time, stretching our creativity by writing and challenging ourselves with the new ideas written by our colleagues online.
Let’s challenge ourselves to stay mentally fit in the new year.

About This Blog
In Thornton Wilder’s play Our Town, the central character dies an early death. Emily is given the chance to revisit a day of her life and is advised by those in the afterlife to pick an ordinary day, warning her that she might be overcome otherwise. Still, Emily is overwhelmed with emotion as she recognizes how wonderful the everyday details of her existence were. Her daily routine takes on new significance now that it is gone. Through her tears, she asks:
Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it– every, every minute?
With this blog, I am trying to fully “realize” my life by documenting the things that I love. I want to appreciate and examine my past and present, as well as plan actively for the future.
I hope to accentuate the positive in my life and in the world around me, with the hope that by focusing on the positive, I will draw more positive elements into my life. Or, at least, realize all of the blessings that I do have.

I had a visual on that one.
Me.. kissing my hand and slapping my forehead!
Cute idea..I’m sure my brain would like it but I’m not sure my forehead would!
I just loved going to my sons kindergarden room and helping out. They are so cute at that age.
Have a blessed day!
The simple ones are the best. It sounds like a snappy slogan. I’m sure a number of companies would find a good way to put it into practice.
Does Eva want to go into marketing?
Oh, man! That’s an awesome phrase/concept!
Too bad the domain’s already taken…
That is very sweet! There might even be some Psychological validity to it too… I’ll have to think about it. If I get a good answer, I’ll kiss my brain
Kids are so durn smart. I do need to thank my brain for keeping up these days.
