ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
MARCH 19TH, 2009



TODAY'S THOUGHT

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade

Charles Dickens

TODAY’S ACTION

Hoe while it is spring, and enjoy the best anticipations.
It is not much matter if things do not turn out well

Charles Dudley Warner



TODAY’S QUOTE

Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush

Doug Larson



IT’S THURSDAY !!

A cold front has moved into Ohio today. We could have snow and only a high in the low 40’s. This is more like normal for us in March, but I sure did enjoy the sunny and sixty degree days.

The end of the month my boss will go on vacation so I’ll be on my own in the office for 2 weeks. I’m not looking forward to those long days at all. I will probably do a good Spring office cleaning, but after that I’d better take a book with me to read.

The great thing is that the week after he comes back I can look forward to my first long 3 day weekend at the camper.

All this is a few weeks away yet but I’m counting down the days.

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S SMILE

When We Share

The impossible becomes possible.
When we share laughter,

There's twice the fun;

When we share success,

We've surpassed what we've done.
When we share problems,

There's half the pain;

When we share tears,

A rainbow follows rain.
When we share dreams,

They become more real;

When we share secrets,

It's our hearts we reveal.
If we share a smile,

That's when our love shows;

If we share a hug,

That's when our love grows.
If we share with someone

On whom we depend,

That person is always

Family or friend.
And what draws us closer

And makes us all care,

Is not what we have

But the things that we share.
