ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

FEBRUARY 9th, 2013

39 DAYS UNTIL SPRING

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

It's SATURDAY

TOOTHACHE DAY

Toothache Day is observed on February 9th. to create awareness on how not to get a toothache and importance of oral health. So, make a pledge on this day to begin a dental hygiene regimen that will improve and maintain your dental health.

Besides daily brushing your teeth in the morning and before the bed time do daily flossing or removal of the food left between the teeth, rinse your mouth after every eating or munching of eatables. Also, rinse your mouth with slightly warm salty water before going to bed.

Toothache Day is a bizarre and peculiar holiday which also happens to be on the day that the Hershey Corporation was founded.

You don't have to brush your teeth - just the ones you want to keep.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

I've been to the dentist several times so I know the drill.

Our little Lucky Guy made his first trip to the dentist this past year and so the pictures today are of him.  It was a fun time for him and he enjoyed going to the dentist.  It was only a check up and he got stickers so it was a very good experience for him.  I hope it stays that way.  

I think that after the dentist he got to out with mom and dad for some spaghetti which was a treat for being such a good boy at the dentist.  It'd be great if all of our trips to the dentist turned out so great!

Have a super Saturday everyone!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

Thankful for a random act of kindness.   DS#1 called last evening to tell me about the great start to the weekend they had.  It seems they went out for dinner and as they were getting ready to pay their bill, the waiter let them know that the family that had been sitting across from them had paid their bill in full.  Of course that family had already left the restaurant so they couldn't thank them, but the waiter got a very nice tip.  Apparently someone was paying it forward with a random act of kindness and DS#1 and his family were the recipients.   Isn't it wonderful to know that there are such nice people in the world.  This act of kindness sure meant a lot to my son and his family.  Maybe it'd be nice if we all could think of some way to pay it forward and give someone else a needed boost.  

I am trying to count at least 3 things I'm thankful for each day and then in 1 year's time I'll have counted 1000 gifts.

I’ll be sharing them and giving thanks to God for these gifts each day,

258. for toothpaste and dental floss

259. Very THANKFUL that I don't have a toothache

260. for kind people everywhere

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
