ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

FRIDAY,  SEPTEMBER 5TH,  2014

17 DAYS UNTIL FALL

Sunrise: 6:58 am

Sunset: 7:54 pm

Life is a Special Occasion!

Hallmark

September 5th is Be Late For Something Day.  It's a great day to be a procrastinator. If you are among the millions of us who never seem to be able to stay on schedule, then you will enjoy today.

Being late for something is a common occurrence. It's caused by a whole host of reasons. Some are intentional, some are not. Fall behind schedule early in the day today, and you will be late for everything that follows. It's proper to be fashionably late for parties.  But remember, whatever you do, don’t be late for dinner!

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Only Robinson Crusoe had everything done by Friday. 

Author Unknown

I might be classified as a procrastinator.  I have lots that needs to be done, but I put it off saying it’ll wait until…someday…

I am rarely late for anything though.  However, I am finding it hard to get dressed before noon these days and so if anything requires my presence early in the day, I might be late.  It’s not that I don’t get up early, I do.  I just like to wake up slowly and enjoy my morning.  I admit that this might sound lazy to most of you.  I worked for a whole lot of years and most of the time I was at work by 7:00 am, so now I figure I’ve earned the right to take it slow and easy.

There are days I can still get moving early if motivated and those children and grandchildren of mine are usually what motivates me the most.  They really do give me reasons to do most of what I do.  

After a few days close to 90 degrees here they say that we’ll be lucky to see a high of 70 here tomorrow.  That will be a welcome relief.  It won’t last long though as I see some near 80 degree days in the forecast for next week.  But those cooler days are a coming and will soon be the norm.

Hope you all have a fantastic Friday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

It is an undoubted truth, that the less one has to do, the less time one finds to do it in. 

Earl of Chesterfield

I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for over almost 2 years and have now reached 2000 gifts.  On my way now to 3000.  I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting.  There is always, always something to be thankful for.

2009. for time to be lazy when I want to

2010. for my family, they are my greatest motivators

2011. for a cooler day ahead, it’s to be a hot 90 degrees today

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!

PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS

selfless acts they perform for us

in our time of need. I ask this in the

ADVICE FOR TODAY

If you procrastinate when faced with a big difficult problem... break the problem into parts, and handle one part at a time. 

Robert Collier

A little smile, a word of cheer, 

A bit of love from someone dear…

Love,
