Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
If you are a gambler, you will just love this day. Today, April 23rd, is Take a Chance Day. This sounds pretty risky, but fun, to me........
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 chance on virtually any object or goal. I hope that you attain everything you seek. So go ahead and take a chance. As they say, Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
Denis Waitley
It seems to me that life in general is a pretty risky business. None of us knows what might happen from one day till the next, but that doesn’t stop us from living life to the fullest. It’s a risk to express an honest opinion, to try something new or give your all to a job or project.
To risk means taking the chance that we may end up appearing foolish or vulnerable, and yes, maybe even fail. But avoiding risk means missing out on the thrill of feeling fully alive and becoming all that we are meant to be.
Remember: If you lose, you will be wise.
We were to have a wet start to the week, but we got more wind than anything else here. Today is suppose to be a partly sunny day with temps in the 40’s here. Looks like another day inside for me. I’m hoping that soon I can get back outside. There is lots that needs to be done and the porch is calling my name.
I hope you all have a great day ! Happy Thursday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
Storm Jameson
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2697. For new things to learn, do and discover each day.
2698. for storage tubs, I’ve put the Easter decorations away.
2699. For sweat shirts and sweaters, they are still needed here
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
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowline, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Mark Twain
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

Hope you get to enjoy some outside and porch time soon, Ma! So true about taking a risk; sometimes risks do pay off but in the end if we learn from them, that's a good thing too!

The porch is calling to you! I love that expression!
I am not much of a risk taker....but working on it. :-)
Did you say porch? That is a magic word for me.
Be blessed this day!
