WELCOME SPRING !
On this the first day of Spring, we celebrate The International Day of Happiness. This holiday was introduced by the General Assembly of the United Nations during 2012 and was celebrated for the first time in 2013.
For everyone, the day is a useful reminder that in general happiness does not necessarily come from buying and consuming, or from being famous or glamorous, but often from friends, family and emotional well being.
Make every day a happy one! Celebrate Happiness !!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln
I do think that if we want to be happy, we will be happy. Happiness begins and ends with us. One of the best ways I know of to be happy is to count your blessings. When you are thinking of all the good things in your life you cannot help to be anything other than happy.
I think too that if we share our happiness, we can make others happy. It’s contagious! Just like when you smile at someone, they often smile back.
Always look for the bright side of life.
The times of dark and light are just about equal in hours and minutes right now. We have just about as much daylight as we have darkness. I think it’s a good time to reminded to keep some balance in our lives. Don’t let a bad day cause you to have a bad attitude.
It’s Spring, the Winter is over and we’ve every reason to be happy and really none to be sad when you look on the bright side.
I hope you have a Happy Spring and a fantastic Friday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2595. for the bright side found in every day
2596. for Spring and more daylight
2597. for sunshine and smiles!
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
People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.
