Spread a little bit more love
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives

I can relax and trust God--the source of all wisdom

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all be a little more gentle with each other, and a little more loving, have a little more empathy, and maybe, we'd like each other a little bit more

IT’S WEDNESDAY!!
OVER THE HUMP DAY!
It’s mid way through this week and I’m happy about that one. I really don’t have much spare time anymore. I go to work, come home and try to get weekend jobs done here and then go away on the weekend to my camper. Thankfully I usually get some rest then.
One thing about my job is that when I leave in the evenings, it’s done and I never have to bring anything home with me. And I do take time out to sit on the back patio and watch the hummers buzz around in the evening when it’s nice out. It may be only a half hour or so, but it feels wonderful.
I think I used to accomplish much more than I do now. It could be I’m slowing down. And that’s not a bad thing at all either.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

Today is National Iced Tea Day
Today is National Black Cow Day
With smooth vanilla ice cream, coppery root beer, and frothy foam, a root beer float is an all-American classic. Root beer was manufactured, bottled, and sold starting in 1880, and legend has it that thirteen years later, the root beer float, which is sometimes referred to as a black cow, was first invented. Frank Wisner of Cripple Creek, Colorado, was inspired to float a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of his glass of root beer. The illumination of the full moon allowed him to glimpse the snow on top of nearby Cow Mountain. The tasty treat was tremendously popular among the town's children, who then called it a black cow

TODAY’S SMILE
John was annoyed because he had to search for his newspaper each morning after the paperboy tossed it. Often he would find it, covered with dirt, under the car in the gravel driveway.Then one day the paperboy's mother mentioned that her son's ambition was to play professional basketball.John had an idea. When he got home, he attached a basketball hoop to a post on the front porch. Sure enough, the next morning there was a resounding "plunk" as the newspaper sailed through the hoop and landed by the door.John never had to search for his paper again

A Child's Perspective on the Meaning of Love
I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.
If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate. -age 6
God could have said magic words to make the nails fall off the cross, but He didn't.
That's love -age 5
TODAY’S REFLECTION
How blest are...
Matthew 5:3
When Jesus was talking about eight ways to be happy, that is, the Beatitudes, the disciples may have expected a kind of motivational talk worthy of Dale Carnegie. However, Jesus absolutely shocked the disciples. Happiness was not riches, but poverty; not feeling good, but sorrowing for sin; not prestige, but lowliness; not desiring pleasures, but holiness; not winning, but showing mercy; not doing your own thing, but being single-hearted in doing God's thing; not manipulating others, but making peace; and not popularity, but persecution .
TODAY’S ADVICE
To prevent the greenish gray color from forming around the yolks of hard boiled eggs boil the egg only as long as is necessary to set the yolk, then plunge it into cold water and peel it promptly
11 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER!
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 !!!

As we get older it is hard of accept that we cannot do what we used to do and that everthing takes that bit longer. I remember being able to clean the whole house in a day not problem now if I manage one room I am doing well. Have a great day and a nice seat at the end of it on the porch. Love Joan.
I can echo what you're saying about not being able to do as much; and about it being okay (for the most part, of course). I think I'm learning to accept the inevidible slowing down process. Love your blog!
