ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
SEPTEMBER 22ND, 2009
TODAY'S THOUGHT
It's not true that nice people finish last . . .
Nice people are winners before the game even starts
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will begin a pilgrimage of peace--one step, one prayer, one act of forgiveness, one outstretched hand at a time
TODAY’S QUOTE
MAY YOU HAVE . . .
Enough happiness to keep you sweet
Enough trials to keep you strong
Enough sorrow to keep you human
Enough hope to keep you happy
Enough failure to keep you humble
Enough success to keep you eager
Enough friends to give you comfort
Enough wealth to meet your needs
Enough enthusiasm to look forward
Enough faith to banish depression
Enough determination to make each
day better than yesterday

IT’S TUESDAY !!
AND
HAPPY FALL!
The weather forecast says we’ll have a warm day at 80 degrees for a high and some more rain today. The rain is typical of this time of year but the warm temps are not.
My other boss, the one that is mostly retired came in coughing and sniffling and blowing his nose on Monday. Just a few weeks ago the other one was sick and came into the office too. I’m sorry they don’t feel well, but I do wish they’d stay home when they are feeling bad. Well I sprayed my Lysol disinfectant and took a couple of aspirin and will take extra vitamins this week. I really don’t need whatever it is that they have.
The cold and flu season is beginning. Don’t forget the most important thing you can do is wash your hands often.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S SMILE
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?"
The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow and rested. All of a sudden a fox appeared that jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
The moral of this story is simple: to be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up
TODAY’S REFLECTION
As Jesus passed by, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, Follow me. And he got up and followed him. While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples
Matthew 9: 9-13
The disciples must have been horrified when Jesus called this collaborator and extortionist to join him! Imagine the conversion it required—not just for Matthew but for those who had to live with him. The evidence of their success—the fact that all were praying together in the upper room (Acts 1:13-14)—should give us hope that no division is too hard for God to overcome
TODAY’S ADVICE
Use vegetable cooking spray to quiet squeaky door hinges and wheels
89 DAYS TIL WINTER!
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 !!!
MA
