ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
JULY 7TH, 2009
TODAY'S THOUGHT
Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will I awake to the day knowing in my heart and soul that all is well. Wherever I am, God is, and all is well
TODAY’S QUOTE
Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly

IT’S TUESDAY !!
Today is supposed to be another beautiful summer day in northern Ohio. We got up to 80 on Monday, but today they way it will stay in the mid 70’s. That is just about perfect weather for me.
All is quiet here at home. Nothing much new happening just the same every day things. Ordinary times are good for sure. And after all the rain we’ve had sunshine is a bonus!
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S SMILE
Country Pearls . . .
Don't name a pig you plan to eat.
Country fences need to be horse high, pig tight and bull strong.
Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.
Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps.
Mortgaging a future crop is saddling a wobbly colt.
A bumble bee is faster than a John Deere tractor.
Trouble with a milk cow is she won't stay milked.
Don't skinny dip with snapping turtles.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled.
Meanness don't happen overnight.
To know how country folks are doing, look at their barns, not their houses.
Never lay an angry hand on a kid or an animal, it just ain't helpful.
Teachers, bankers, and hoot owls sleep with one eye open.
Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.
One more...
A friend's daughter received an adorable airport play set as a gift. Since some assembly - which was actually a lot of assembly - was required, her father spent much of the evening putting together the plane, control tower, runway, the little baggage chute, and arranging all the pieces into a teeny air hub.
As he was nearly finished, his wife noticed he was frantically digging through the box and all of the packing materials.
What's wrong, honey? she asked.You are not going to believe this, he replied,
but the one piece missing ... is the luggage!
TODAY’S REFLECTION
Guide me in your truth and teach me, my God, my Savior.
Psalm 25:5
Raise your hand if any of the following describe you.
You are at peace with everyone. Every relationship as sweet as fudge. Even your old flames speak highly of you. Love all and are loved by all. Is that you?
You have no fears. Call you the Teflon toughie. Wall Street plummets—no problem. Heart condition discovered—yawn. Does this describe you?
You need no forgiveness. Never made a mistake. As square as a game of checkers. As clean as grandma’s kitchen. Is that you? No?
Let’s evaluate this. A few of your relationships are shaky. You have fears and faults. Hmmm. Do you really want to hang on to your chest of self-reliance? Sounds to me as if you could use a shepherd.
