Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
April 21st is Bulldogs are Beautiful Day. If there’s ever a day when it’s time to look beyond appearances, it’s today. Known for their wrinkly faces, stocky builds and tendency to slobber, bulldogs don’t often find themselves associated with the word beautiful. On this occasion, however, things are different. Even though their looks are droopy and wrinkly! This day challenges people as it conveys a message of acceptance and celebrates the differences in people.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I’ve never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.

Just as all dogs don’t look alike, so it is with us. We are each unique and one of a kind. I’m very glad I don’t look like anyone else. That would get confusing. Although we may look different, that doesn’t mean we aren’t all beautiful in our very own way.
I took a little time to look through my photos to see just how many smiling faces I could find, but there were so many that I just took the first ones I came to. Other than my nephew’s bull dog, that is what the pictures are of today,,,lots of beautiful smiles. They say that a smile is the least expensive way to improve your looks. It increases your face value !
It’s to be another rainy day here at my house today so it’s a good day to see just how much I can get done inside…we’ll see.
I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God’s handwriting — a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2691. for all the beautiful smiles on the faces of those I love
2692. for bulldogs, they are beauties in their unique way
2693. for a rainy day to get something done inside
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
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone….
Sam Levenson
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…

I am getting it done inside and smiling about it today! Thanks for the reminder!
Such beautiful smiles and the little doggie is so cute.
I always try and smile at others...it doesn't cost a thing and I am sure it makes some people happy. I do know it encourages my heart to see a smile.
What are we to do with all this rain? Ha.

So many beautiful smiles in your post today.
It's a mix of snow and rain here today.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
