If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
How a hat makes you feel is what a hat is all about.
Philip Treacy
A party hat is generally a playful conical hat made with a rolled up piece of thin cardboard, usually with designs printed on the outside and a long string of elastic going from one side of the cone's bottom to another to secure the cone to the person's head
Its name originates with its use: Party hats are worn most often at birthday parties, especially by the guest of honor, with a significant minority being worn for New Year celebrations. The party hat has its origins in the dunce cap in the mid 19th century. Strange as the dunce cap was worn by a student that had gotten into trouble.
I’m going to pretend to put my party hat on and celebrate today. Warmer weather is supposed to be headed our way. Looking ahead to the weekend they say a January thaw is headed our way.
The hat I’m wearing in the first picture was a gift for my birthday last year. I keep it hanging here at home on the coatrack to remind me that every day is one to celebrate !
I won’t mind saying good bye to some of this snow.
I hope you all have a great day ! Happy Thursday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Life’s a party. Celebrate !
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
2402. for hats to keep me warm and for hats that are fun
2403. for a January thaw coming our way
2404. for the gift of a new day, a reason to celebrate !
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 ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Live your life, do your work, then take your hat.
Henry David Thoreau

Why, this picture just provoked the biggest smile over here. :)
Happy Thursday, Ma!
Such a cute hat and great picture of you in it, Ma! I like the hat and strawberry ice cream day! I don't usually eat ice cream in winter as it makes me cold, but might get something strawberry to eat today in celebration of this wonderful day! January is almost halfway over already, soon spring will be peeking around the corner :)

Looks perfect with your blue sweater.
Pretty picture of you with your hat on. I'm ready for some dryer days. Take care.
What lovely photos of you Pam! You look like you are having a really good time. Made me smile big time! I am not a hat person per se. I don't like to wear them normally, but party hats are always fun to wear! Have a super Friday! xoxo
