ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
THURSDAY, AUGUST 8TH, 2013
46 DAYS UNTIL FALL
Sunrise: 6:30 am
Sunset: 8:37 pm
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
August 8th is Happiness Happens Day, an upbeat holiday for spreading joy and good spirits.
On this date, folks everywhere try to see the proverbial silver lining in even the cloudiest of circumstances. Today is a good day for people pass out silver-wrapped chocolate kisses to commemorate Happiness Happens Day on August 8th and the proverbial silver linings in dreary dark clouds.
Perhaps coincidentally, August 8th is also Admit You're Happy Day. Remember the traditional children's refrain? If you're happy and you know it ….?
If you're happy and and you know it…Clap your hands!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.
Jacques Prévert
For the most part I lead a happy life, and if I'm not happy, I do know what to do about it. With all the blessings in my life I really have no reason not to be happy.
Whenever I forget just how blessed I am, I start counting my blessings and pretty soon I forget about whatever it was that made me unhappy.
Looking on the Bright Side of things is a way of life for me. Every day may not be a good one, but there is some good in every day. I've made up my mind that all of life does not need to make you feel good in order for you to face it with peace and joy. When we decide to live with a thankful attitude, we find more and more things to be thankful for. When we lose sight of how blessed we are, that is when we should work at keeping it in the front of our thinking.
There is always always something to be thankful for.
I hope you all have a Happy Thursday!
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The best way for a person to have happy thoughts is to count his blessings and not his cash.

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.
836. for more blessings than curses
837. for people that make me happy
838. for another day to look on the bright side
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

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.
