ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

FEBRUARY 5TH,  2012

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

It's SUNDAY!  

NATIONAL WEATHERMAN'S DAY

National Weatherman's Day honors weathermen, and woman who work hard to accurately predict the often fickle weather. Despite major technological advances and supercomputers, forecasting the weather is still a tricky, and ever changing business.
Knowing the weather is important in so many ways. It affect how we dress, where we go, and even if we go. Space launches are made or delayed depending upon the weather. And, knowing the weather can save lives. The most obvious example is knowing when and where hurricanes or tornados may hit.
According to the Air Force News, Weatherman's Day commemorates the birth of John Jeffries, one of America's first weathermen. Jeffries was born on Feb 5, 1744. He kept weather records from 1774 to 1816.
If you see a weatherman today, give them your appreciation for a job well done.

The trouble with weather forecasting is that it's right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it.

NEWS FROM HOME

Dear beautiful Spring weather, I miss you.  Was it something I said?  

Skipper Kim Corbin

After we got the bad news from the groundhog, it seems we can depend on the weather to be winter like for 6 more weeks.  I really didn't have many doubts about that.  I do hear from friends and family down south that it's like spring there.  We've had a mild winter so far, but who knows when the other shoe might fall.  We have 6 more weeks to find out.  Our weather guru on TV says that we'll be returning to more normal temps and snow fall for the remainder of February and March.  We'll see...

You can’t spend tomorrow’s money, celebrate tomorrow’s achievements—or resolve tomorrow’s riddles.

You have today!

Hope you all get some of that great R and R today

Have a great Sunday!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

God’s Love Scriptures

1 John 3:1  See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Every experience offers an opportunity to remember God's constant love and protection. When traveling or if experiencing a health issue, remember there is nothing to fear, God is with us. In every situation, we have the chance to gain a fuller realization of God's loving presence.

Looking back, we can see how different situations spurred our growth. Even experiences we would not wish to repeat increase our awareness of our connection with God.

This day and every day, we are enfolded in God's powerful protection and love.

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

Weather is a great metaphor for life - sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, and there's nothing much you can do about it but carry an umbrella.

44 DAYS UNTIL SPRING

76 DAYS UNTIL CAMPING SEASON BEGINS

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

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

Love,
