Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Today is Workaholics Day. It recognizes the guy, or gal, who works all of the time....... even during holidays. While just about everyone is enjoying the Fourth of July holiday weekend, the Workaholic is off working on some project. He can't relax. It's not in his nature. He's addicted to work. It's not necessarily work out of need.
All Work and no play, makes John a dull boy.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
God didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?
Author Unknown
Holiday weekends like this one are meant for everyone to relax and enjoy the good things we all have and to be thankful for them too. Rest is needed for anyone in order to do their best. So I’m hoping you are doing just that…getting some rest and relaxation too.
There’s more to life than work, relaxing is important, and stress is a major problem. Relaxing and being lazy are necessary to good health and happiness. Our bodies and minds need to recuperate each day and week, and if we don’t have this downtime eventually something will go wrong: we’ll burn out or get sick.
The best form of relaxation is finding and participating in something that brings you joy. Whether it be alone or with others, find whatever is it that brings you relaxation and peace.
I hope you all have a super Saturday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the blue sky, is by no means waste of time.
John Lubbock
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for over a year and have now reached over 1800 gifts. On my way to 2000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1823 for time to relax and refresh
1824. for peanut butter cookies made by Voortman, they taste like homemade
1825. for weekends and holidays off, not everyone has them
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 !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.

So true that our body needs that time to rest and recuperate. I had to work just a bit yesterday until we ran out of work, but then did enjoy the rest of the day relaxing :)

Love your first quote Pam! My ex boss's husband was a workaholic. It didn't make him happy, nor her. Two of the unhappiest people I have ever know. I think life is a balance, of work, play, joy, sorry, etc. Hope you are having a great day! The sun is shining here! xxoo
