35 DAYS UNTIL SPRING!

Life is a Special Occasion!

Madly In Love With Me Day is held on February 13th, the day before Valentines Day. This one holiday I’d never heard of before. The philosophy is that to truly be able to show love to others, we must first be empowered to love ourself without apology so it’s a good day to treat yourself to your favorite lunch in the company of people you know love and respect you as you are today. You deserve every bit as much of your love as do the objects of your affection! Today, give yourself the consideration and kindness you'd extend to the people you love.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
We must be our own before we can be another's.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have always believed that if you want to be good for others you do have to be good to yourself first. You have to treat yourself kindly by getting enough rest, enough play, and enough hugs and smiles. Helping your self to be better is only going to make what you do for others better. I know I’m not much good at all when I’m tired out and frustrated.
On the bright side here at my house the weather forecast says that temps will be on the rise for the next 7 days here. By next Thursday we may get up close to 50 degrees. It’ll feel like a taste summer for us up here in the north. A heat wave for sure. We won’t stay that way but it’ll be a welcome break for sure.
Hope you all have great Thursday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths.
Etty Hillesum
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.
1403. for a great weather forecast, a welcome break in the weather
1404. a box full of Little Debbie Nutty Bars, they are not just for kids
1405. for red seedless grapes, refreshing and so good
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 !
Taking time out each day to relax and renew is essential to living well.

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

Sorry... I keep getting stuck on 35 days til spring! :-)
I like this day of being madly in love with ourselves and making sure we take care of ourselves. I too hadn't heard of it before. Glad to hear a brief warm up will be coming soon!

With all my grumbling lately I guess God decided I needed a me couple of days by giving me the flu, since I've pretty much been in bed since Thursday, taking care of me... :)
