ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
OCTOBER 22nd, 2010
If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side
It's FRIDAY!
October’s full moon is often referred to as the Full Hunter’s Moon
Many moons ago, Native Americans named this bright moon for obvious reasons. The leaves are falling from trees, the deer are fattened, and it’s time to begin storing up meat for the long winter ahead. Because the fields were traditionally reaped in late September or early October, hunters could easily see fox and other animals that come out to glean from the fallen grains.
Probably because of the threat of winter looming close, the Hunter’s Moon is generally accorded with special honor, historically serving as an important feast day in both Western Europe and among many Native American tribes
As far as the Moon is concerned, he is always full

THINKING
Shoot for the moon, Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars
Les Brown
Whether on my knees scrubbing the floor, or on my knees in prayer, my life has purpose if I’m working in the presence of God.
What an awesome thought!
As you go through life : Notice the sun and the moon as they rise and set........They are remarkable for their steady pattern of movement, not their speed.

AROUND HOME
Promises are like the full moon, if they are not kept at once they diminish day by day
German Proverb
Just like all my days lately, Thursday was a busy one here at my house. Since camping is over and evenings are so dark and chilly, I no longer have a reason just to sit still and watch the clouds float by. Even when I'm sitting now I'm busy at something. I paint, I knit or crochet, or put together my newsletter.
I turned off my outside faucets and drained them as it got near freezing the other night, but the weekend is supposed to be a little warmer. Could be some rain too, but all in all a good one.
FAMILY
Candle light, moon light, star light
The brightest glow is from love light.

Mr. Wonderful is coming to visit today. His mom is returning to work next week so today we're having a trial run. We'll be seeing if we have everything needed for great day at Grand'ma's house.
Food, diapers, a rocking chair and lots of love.
I think that we'll have all the requirements for a wonderful day!
COUNTING THE DAYS
May you have warm words on a cool evening, a full moon on a dark night and a smooth road all the way to your door.

60 DAYS UNTIL WINTER!
64 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS
175 DAYS UNTIL CAMPING SEASON BEGINS
Keep looking ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of things.
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near…
Love,
