ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

SEPTEMBER 13TH,  2011

 

It's TUESDAY!

Positive Thinking Day is today. 

Today is all about attitude.... a positive attitude. It's a lot like the ant, when faced with moving a rubber tree plant thought, I think I can. With that in mind, I just know that everything will go fine from this day forward.

The power of positive thinking is absolutely astounding. Medical research confirms that a positive attitude works wonders at fighting disease and ailments, from the common cold to cancer. People with an I think I can attitude, are far more likely to succeed at work, and in accomplishing every goal they set in life.

It takes just a moment to change your attitude. And, in that quick moment, you can change your entire day.

National Peanut Day

Did you know that peanuts are not nuts, they're legumes? Peanuts are an extraordinary food crop, grown around the world. Many of us think of salted, roasted peanuts when we hear the word. But boiled peanuts, peanut oil, and peanut butter are all common uses for peanuts. They're even the tastiest part of Cracker Jack!

selfless acts they perform for us

in our time of need. I ask this in the

Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.  

Art Linkletter

If someone would have told me how my life would turn out when I was young, I may have given up hope, but they didn't and here I am still hoping for the best each day.  I've made the best of what sometimes seemed an impossible situation.  Nothing is impossible it seems and nothing can stop me from hoping.

When everything seems to go wrong ... just P.U.S.H.
When the job gets you down ... just P.U.S.H.
When people don't react the way you think they should ... just P.U.S.H.
When your money looks gone and the bills are due ... just P.U.S.H.
When people just don't understand you... Just P.U.S.H.

P.U.S.H - Pray Until Something Happens!!!!!

COUNTING THE DAYS

Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day.
