ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

AUGUST 25th,  2012

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

It's SATURDAY!  

KISS AND MAKE UP DAY

Kiss and Make Up Day is a great way to end a spat. Everyone has an argument, a fight, or a tiff once in a while. Family, friends, lovers, no one escapes without an occasional fight. Today is a day to end the fight, kiss, and make up. Oh, what fun this day can be!Annoying habits and irritability aside, it’s good to have the people you love around you.  So remember not to take loved ones for granted and appreciate the good stuff in your relationship. 

Top it all off with a big smooch and you’ve fully embraced the spirit of the day.

A kiss without a hug is like a flower without the fragrance.

NEWS FROM HOME

A mom's hug lasts long after she lets go.

This week I was able to get out to our county fair for the day with my sisters and one of my nieces.  Today I'm probably going to go again as one of my son's is coming in with his family for the fair.  I may just find a shady spot there and sit while they look as it's going to be heating up here again for the weekend. 

It was so nice to have some cooler days earlier in the week.  Still it is August and we have to expect it to be hot.  Monday school will begin here and the long range forecast says it will cool down a little with a chance of rain.  That is a good thing as many of our school buildings are not equipped with air conditioning. And it's ok that the rain will come after the fair ends too.  We just have to count our blessings when they come.

Hope your all have a SUPER Saturday!

Keep Cool!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

If you're angry at a loved one, HUG that person.  And mean it.  You may not want to hug - which is all the more REASON to do so.  It's hard to stay angry when someone shows they LOVE you, and that's precisely what happens when we hug each other.

COUNTING THE DAYS

I will not play at tug o' war
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs....

29 DAYS UNTIL FALL

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

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