ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

JANUARY 18TH,  2012

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

It's WEDNESDAY!  

WINNIE THE POOH DAY

Winnie the Pooh Day is an opportunity to enjoy your favorite bear and all of his friends. This day was created to celebrate the birth of A.A .Milne in 1882. He was an author of children's story books, and created Winnie the Pooh and his friends. Winnie's pals include Christopher Robin, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet, and Roo.
Have some fun today. Celebrate Winnie the Pooh Day by reading some storybooks about the adventures of Winnie and his friends. 
Did you Know: In his works, he was known as A.A. Milne. The initials stand for Allan Alexander.

NEWS FROM HOME

Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.  

Pooh's Little Instruction Book, inspired by A.A. Milne

My life hasn't been very exciting lately and that is a good thing, I am not complaining.  Winter time is a good time just to relax a bit and catch up on some rest.  Before we know it Spring will be here and we'll be busy again.  

It was almost like a Spring day here yesterday.  It warmed up and now most of our snow has melted but we are to get colder again and maybe see more snow.

The temps have been going up and down like a roller coaster here...I'm just enjoying the ride.

PRAYER REQUEST

One of my friends lost one of her best friends yesterday and I'm asking your prayers today for all those that have lost a loved one, saying goodbye is never easy.

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 ALL!

COUNTING THE DAYS

It's snowing still, said Eeyore gloomily.  So it is.  And freezing  Is it?  

Yes, said Eeyore.  However, he said, brightening up a little, we haven't had an earthquake lately.
