Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Today is Take a Chance Day. Life is filled with risks. To get what you want, sometimes you have to take a chance. And, today is created to do just that. Today is the day to take a leap of faith on Take a Chance Day. Choose your goal and go for it!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Don't put off your happy life.
Author Unknown
You never know what might happen if you take a chance, wonderful things could occur. You never know how far you'll go or what you'll get if you don't try. Take risks: if you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise.
Sometimes life is all about taking chances. Doors open, doors close. Taking a leap of faith into the unknown can be terrifying However, in order for us to really take advantage of all we are capable of and all that life has to offer, we have to take some chances.
I read somewhere that there is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing. Life is filled with opportunities and potential. That is one of the greatest things it offers to each and every one of us.
I did get out for my oil change and car wash on Tuesday afternoon. we got very little rain and the skies cleared out. The honest guys at the oil change place said they’d be ripping me off if they gave me an oil change, they said come back in another 3000 miles. They checked everything else out for me and checked the air on the tires though. I usually get the oil changed April and October. It looks like it’ll probably be October this year before I’ll need one as I don’t travel many miles at all. It is nice to know there are still honest people in this world.
I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday and take a chance!
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.
Mary Manin Morrissey
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for a little over a year and have now reached 1600 gifts. On my way to 2000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1604. for the chance to do something new
1605. for all the risks I took in life
1606. for the opportunity to broaden my faith
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 !
If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance.

That is nice to hear about the oil change, Ma; you are right, usually its the other way around, they are trying to up sell more things you might or might not need. I do agree too with taking chances and sometimes we need to do so in order to grow, even if they don't turn out the way we thought they would.

What a nice post MA. And I love that first picture "Life is a Beautiful Thing ...".
Wonderful post. Thank you so much for sharing.
So nice that your car place treated you so well... my boss recently was taken advantage of being a single mom who computes to work and they sold her a $500 repair that she probably didn't need or they broke the part while working on her car and didn't tell her... so rude... It rained here all day yesterday with lightening too... :)
