ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

FEBRUARY 11TH,  2012

Celebrate the happiness
that friends are always giving,
make every day a holiday,
and celebrate just living!

It's SATURDAY!  

DON'T CRY OVER SPILLED MILK DAY

Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day is in recognition that everyone spills a little milk now and then. It's a day to  be optimistic, think positive, look on the bright side, and to find something good in everything that happens. As the song says: Don't Worry, be Happy!

Today is a day to recognize that stuff happens to all of us. And, when it does, Don't worry, or fret, or cry over it. Rather, take a positive attitude and fix it, or get past it.

We all know the concept of the question: Is the glass half full or half empty? The pessimist sees it as half empty. The optimist sees it as half full. It's all an attitude towards life.

You should  participate in Don't Cry over Spilled Milk Day with an optimistic attitude and a smile on your face.!

Of course I look at the glass half full.  The only time I would look at it half empty is when I think about how good the first half tasted.

NEWS FROM HOME

I can hardly believe that the weekend is here already.  This has been a fast week.  We are to be really cold today and probably have a little of that white stuff around too, so looks like it'll be an inside day for me.  Nothing much new in that respect.  

I've always try to enjoy every day.  Enthusiasm for life even on the inside days makes every day special.  I'd rather be thought of as silly than dull.  There are no dull days at my house.  When you're optimistic, every day is a good one.

I hope your Saturday is a Super one!

Optimist: someone who figures that taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it's a cha-cha.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Mark 12:28-30   And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, Which commandment is the most important of all? Jesus answered, The most important is, Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.

The wind is invisible, but we can see evidence of its power as it blows a sailboat across the water or turns the blades of a giant wind turbine. As we observe the wind, we are reminded that the spirit of God is also moving in and through our life in seen and unseen ways.

No matter what we are facing in the moment, God is the One Presence and One Power active our life and in the universe. Live in faith. Hold an expectation of good. Recognize that even challenges offer good to be discovered.

Faith in God inspires us to have courage and to live life fully.

There are in the end three things that last: faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love.

 Make Every Day Matter

COUNTING THE DAYS

Find those things about which you can be authentically enthusiastic. And then, let the power of your enthusiasm flow.

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
