TODAY'S THOUGHT
Appreciation is like an insurance policy.
It has to be renewed every now and then

TODAY’S QUOTE
Great opportunities to help others seldom come,
but small ones surrounds us every day.
Sally Koch
IT’S MONDAY !!
It was a lazy Sunday. Except for doing some laundry my day was pretty quiet. I talked to DS#1 on the phone and I saw DS#5 at church. Every body is keeping busy for sure, but I guess all is well.
On my calendar for this week after work is:
Monday – get the income tax done.
Other wise all is quiet.
That is a blessing for sure. My energy level is still going down and it will til about 1 month from now when somehow I start to perk back up.
It always happens this way and I give credit to the increasing daylight hours.
Take good care all!
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S TRIVIA
President's Day is a day set aside to honor all of the U.S. presidents. We often think of two great presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln when we celebrate this holiday as it falls by design between their birthdays. But more and more of us, look at this day as a tribute to each and every person who has ever served in the office as President of the United States of America. It is a national holiday.
Today is National Sticky Bun Day
God Bless You Day - In 600, Pope Gregory the Great issued a papal decree declaring that "God Bless You!" is the proper response to a sneeze
1937: Du Pont research chemist Wallace Carothers received a patent for nylon
TODAY’S SMILE
Quotes by Abraham Lincoln
No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent.
Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.
Whatever you are, be a good one.
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
If I were two faced, would I be wearing this one?
Abraham Lincoln (1809 1865)
A faith like Lincoln's would transform the world!
James Oppenheim

TODAY’S REFLECTION
We must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard,
lest we drift away.
Hebrews 2:1
The Bible has provided us with warning signs about drifting from the safety of God’s Word.
When we don’t cling to God’s Word through study and reflection, it’s easy to drift. Like a swift stream, the attractions of this fallen world draw us toward sin. But as we meditate on Scripture and seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance, we learn the reality of our spiritual anchor and are kept secure—even in the dangers of the world’s current
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path
Psalm 119:105
TODAY’S ADVICE
2 or 3 slices of lemon in a cup of strong tea will cure a nervous headache
32 DAYS UNTIL SPRING!
AND 46 DAYS UNTIL CAMPING SEASON BEGINS
Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
May there be a miracle in YOUR life today
and may you have the EYES to SEE it!
I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!
