ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

APRIL 4TH, 2013

79 DAYS TILL SUMMER

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

It's THURSDAY

WALK AROUND THINGS DAY

Walk Around Things Day is an important day to avoid problems and risks, by simply walking around the potential problem. You wouldn't walk under a ladder, would you? Then, it is also wise to walk around objects, especially those that pose risk or danger.

Walk around things can also be used figuratively. It is also wise to walk around, or avoid, topics issues, and problems that are sticky, may provoke an argument, or are not readily solved.

If ever was a day to Walk Around Things, today is that day.

Summing up, it is clear the future holds great opportunities.  It also holds pitfalls.  The trick will be to avoid the pitfalls, seize the opportunities, and get back home by six o'clock.  

Woody Allen

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have enough leisure to wonder whether you are happy or not. 

George Bernard Shaw

I find that for the most part, my days are so busy I really don't have time to dwell on whether or not I'm happy.  The time flies by and before I know it, another day has gone by.  

The pictures today are of the snow fall here week before last.  It's something I'd rather have avoided at all if I could have.  However, I'm stuck here where I am and can't get away from it.  We did have a few snow flurries yesterday, but nothing that laid on the ground.   Sorry to say there is a little glare on the pictures from my flash, but you can see we had quite a bit of snow.  

Hope you all have a great Thursday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

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, 

420.  for a new Spring hairdo, went to get my hair cut yesterday

421.  for busy days that keep me out of trouble

422. for being able to walk, a gift I take for granted too often.

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

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 !

The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

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