ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
SATURDAY, JANUARY 25TH, 2014
54 DAYS UNTIL SPRING!
Sunrise:7:46 am
Sunset: 5:36 pm
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
January 25th is A Room of Ones Own Day. I agree, everyone should have a room or a nook in their home. Use the private space to read, create, paint, contemplate or simply enjoy a quiet moment.
The best thinking has been done in solitude.
Thomas Alva Edison
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Have nothing in your house
that you do not know to be useful
or believe to be beautiful.
William Morris
As you all know by now I truly do have a room of my own. Matter of fact I have a whole house of my own with many rooms to do with as I choose. Very soon now I’m starting the much needed Spring Clean here at my house and hopefully these rooms will become a little bit more pleasurable. Deep cleaning for me is also a chance to change things around a bit. I used to move furniture often but not so much anymore. There are a few small changes I’d like to make and when I do the cleaning will be the time to do them.
I think I’ll start in the kitchen. It’s the place I spend most of my time. I’ll work my way to the front room which is what most see when they enter my house and then on to the upstairs. I get tired just thinking about it all. Little steps will be taken though and I have nothing but plenty of time to do it.
This morning is warmer, 20 degrees, but we’ll be back in the deep freeze next week. More snow coming down today too. I think I need to stop talking about the weather. It’s winter and so it will be for quite awhile. Our weather man said that winter is half way over so there is a good thought for you.
Hope you all have super Saturday!
The trouble with, A place for everything and everything in its place, is that there's always more everything than places.

COUNTING MY GIFTS
The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.
Thomas More
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for this past year and have now reached my 1000 gifts. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1346. for a trip to the craft store, I bought flowers just like the ones above, but not the vase
1347. My good cup of hot JAMAICA ME CRAZY, coconut flavored coffee
1348. for leftover Christmas candy, mmmm chocolate
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 !
You can fall in love at first sight with a place as with a person.
Alec Waugh
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

I'm thinking if you broke up your spring cleaning, doing a bit every day, it should be more manageable? I think it is good to start at the kitchen indeed! Its good to hear if winter is halfway over, than every day is getting so close to spring and pretty soon you might even have a few spring like days in winter!
