oh pitty day!
Oh pitty day! (Oh pretty day!) is one of the phrases that got stuck in my head after I finished reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott years ago. A toddler named Daisy would exclaim “Oh pitty day!” first thing in the morning regardless of the weather condition.
And so, here I am, proclaiming it’s a pretty day indeed. Oh pitty day!
The sun is shining brightly. Oh pitty day!
I have great parents and siblings, a loving husband and beautiful children. Oh pitty day!
I have many friends, and I am blessed yet again with a new friend. Oh pitty day!
*I decided to let go of many things and to accept them for what they are. Oh pitty day!
*I decided to smile at past hurts and forgive. Oh pitty day!
*I decided to let God deal with things beyond my control. Oh pitty day!
I encourage you to count your blessings and shout with me. Oh pitty day! Sing with me.
It’s a great day, a beautiful day.
The kind of day that makes me want to say
I’m glad that I’m alive, I’m happy to be me
And that’s the way to be.
It’s a great way to start the day. Shout “Oh pitty day!” every day.
***
* Even only for today. I will try again tomorrow, and who knows, it may become second nature. If I slip, well, there’s always the next day! Oh pitty day!

We’re truly blessed
I could shout “pitty day!” with you.
You know I only read “Little Women” in high school when the librarian told me to choose any book I want to keep as they were burning(!) their stocks. I was lucky enough to have chosen Alcott’s “Little Women” and “Little Men”

we always need to affirm that everyday is going to be a pretty day no matter how bad it goes. There is always
a silver lining.
