TODAY'S THOUGHT
Are you rich?
Think about it...friendships are priceless, time is invaluable, health is wealth, and love is a treasure
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will focus on positive thoughts and hold them in prayer, fully expecting good outcomes. If thoughts of fear or lack pop up, I will release them just as I would remove weeds from my garden
TODAY’S QUOTE
We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.
Anne Frank
IT’S MONDAY !!
Back to work once more!
After a very restful and relaxing weekend I’m off to work as usual today. This will be a full 5 day work week. The boss is on vacation this week so it will be quiet in our office for sure.
There is really nothing but work on my calendar this week so it will be a quiet one all the way round.
I talked to DS#6 and #1 yesterday evening and all is well with both of them. A little hectic and busy but they are well. DD and her hubby joined me at the camp ground on Saturday evening and we managed to go swimming on Sunday afternoon as our weather was hot and sunny.
I heard via e-mail from DS#5 and he finished up with the state fair on Sunday so he’ll be home and getting ready for back to school this week. DDIL#3 sent some lovely pictures of their vacation by e-mail too. It looks like they had a great time all around.
That’s the news from home as I know it!
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you...Do not let your hearts be troubled...
John 14:27
The more quietly and peaceably we all get on the better for ourselves and for our neighbors. In nine cases out of ten the wisest policy is, if a man cheats you, quit dealing with him; if he is abusive, quit his company; if he slanders you, take care to live so that nobody will believe him: no matter who he is, or how he misuses you, the wisest way is generally to let him alone; for there is nothing better than this cool, calm, quiet way of dealing with the wrongs we meet with
Bishop Patrick
TODAY’S ADVICE
If you can't get your corn immediately into the steamer, get it on ice. The sweetness of corn fades quickly at 70° F
43 DAYS TIL FALL!
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 !!!
