ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
JUNE 27TH, 2011
If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side
It's MONDAY!
SUNGLASSES DAY
Sunglasses Day is a shady day for your eyes. Summer is in full swing. The sun is high in the sky. It's blindingly bright. A pair of UV protection sunglasses is definitely in order.
Sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Your Optician will tell you that sungalsses with UV protection, will help to avoid cataracts. They also report that UV rays can be stronger in the winter, as the sun's rays hit you on the way down....and as it is reflected back up from the snow.
Enjoy Sunglasses Day with a shady, mysterious and fashionable pair of sunglasses
Do not worry about whether or not the sun will rise. Be prepared to enjoy it.

Orange Blossom Day
The orange is the citrus fruit we squeeze into juice or peel for a healthy snack, but the orange blossom that grows from the same tree has its own list of uses. Because of its intoxicating fragrance, the blossom is used as an additive to honey, tea, incense and perfumes.
Orange Blossom Cake
1 box yellow cake mix. 2 layer size
1 jar ,10 oz. size, orange marmalade
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
Eggs, oil and water per cake instructions
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon orange peel
2 tablespoons orange juice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease Bundt pan and flour generously. Prepare cake according to directions, but reduce water to 1 cup and add marmalade and orange peel. Mix well. Bake 45-50 minutes.
Cool 10 minutes in pan. Make glaze by mixing sugar and orange peel and add orange juice a teaspoon at a time until pourable consistency. Pour over cooled cake.
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU!
AROUND HOME
The flower that follows the sun does so even on cloudy days.
Robert Leighton
We've had so many cloudy days around here that it is a wonder our flowers are blooming at all, but they are! It doesn't seem to matter to them whether the sun shines or not.
I spent a while yesterday just basking in the sun, I need it even if the flowers don't. And yes, I had my sunglasses on.
They say we will see more sun than rain this week, I certainly hope so.
Have a great Monday everyone!
COUNTING THE DAYS
No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy the sunlight today, mix good cheer with friends today, enjoy it and bless God for it. Do not look back on happiness -- or dream of it in the future. You are only sure of today; do not let yourself be cheated out of it.
