ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
AUGUST 3RD, 2009
TODAY'S THOUGHT
The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.
Nursery rhyme
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will appreciate the wondrous workings of my body and give thanks for its ongoing restoration. I will open my mind and heart to inspiration and guidance so I know how best to take care of myself. I am an expression of God, and I will take care of myself--body, mind, and soul.
TODAY’S QUOTE
A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book
Irish Proverb
IT’S MONDAY !!
BACK TO WORK AGAIN!
It’s was good to have a quiet restful weekend. When I say it was quiet I mean that the babes and grand’babes’ were not camping this weekend. However there were plenty of other campers around.
The tent sight in front of our campers was loaded once more with Scouts. They are always on the best of behavior but there sure were a lot of them.
On my calendar for the week ahead there is nothing much besides work. The evenings look uneventful so my house and the dirty bird will appreciate having me home.
I do hope your weekend was a great one and you are ready for a new week and a new month. My goodness, August is here already!
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Jesus said to them,I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger,and whoever believes in me will never thirst
John 6: 36
You have the richest Father imaginable! He owns everything in the universe, and he even has the power to create whatever else he wants to. What’s more, God’s heart is so full of love that he can’t help but lavish priceless gifts upon his children
If we can just sit quietly before the Lord each day in prayer, He will lavish us with the best of gifts, and we will find ourselves doing his work as a result
TODAY’S ADVICE
Keep a cooler in the car for grocery trips. Use it for frozen items, meats, and dairy products
