TODAY'S THOUGHT
Every man rejoices twice when he has a partner in his joy. He who shares tears with us wipes them away. He divides them in two, and he who laughs with us makes the joy double

I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshineI am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do

IT’S TUESDAY !!
I made it through Monday so the rest of the week should be fine. Monday’s are hard days for me and being away at the camper this past weekend did not make it any easier.
At least now I do have something to look forward to besides work and Spring is finally starting to come to northern Ohio too. I noticed on my way home from work today that lots of daffodils are now blooming and so is the forsythia. They seem to be the early bloomers around our neck of the woods. It won’t be long now til there will be lots more.
I had the first deer of the season run across the road in front of me on my way to work Monday morning. He was a good distance ahead of me so there was no danger of hitting him. I just thought I’d mention it so maybe you all would be more aware when driving. It is that time of year when they are out and about.
Take good care !
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S SMILE
While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a new dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 30 years ago.Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was too old to have been my classmate.After he had examined my teeth, asked him if he had attended the local high school.Yes, he replied.When did you graduate? I asked.He answered, In 1964.Why, you were In my class! I exclaimed.He looked at me closely and then asked, What did you teach?
TODAY’S REFLECTION
For their sake he remembered his covenant, and showed compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love
Psalm 106:45
Our faith and compassion are expressed, creating healing and influencing change. Relationships are renewed and situations are transformed. Understanding and peace prevail. One heart at a time, we establish peace in the world
TODAY’S ADVICE

Thanks for the reminder about the deer. Living in town we don't often see them and it is easy to forget. When we lived in the country that was a constant. (As were the skunks!! :))
Have a super day!!
