Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Today is Toss Away the Should Haves and Would Haves Day. This day is intended for all to let go of the past and live for the present. To help with this venture, find a paper and pen, write down your could haves and should haves, and then through it away.
Once you have thrown your could haves and should haves in the trash, make the following resolution:
From this day forward, I choose not to live in the past, the past is history that I can not change. I can do something about the present, I choose to live in the present.
Take care of yourself and your health by living for now, do your best and make the best of each and every day!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Don’t look back, you’re not going that way.
As we all know, time keeps on moving forward and we’d all do better if we remember that. We can’t live in the past. We can only learn from it and move on.
As we get older we learn and grow, but that doesn’t mean we have to regret what we did before we learned how to do things differently. If we didn’t go through those experiences, we might not have grown into the strong and knowledgeable people we are today.
We need to be thankful for what we have now instead of thinking about what we don’t have and always keep moving forward. Life is not about maintaining the status quo. Life is not about playing it safe. Life is not about standing still. It’s about connecting with your soul, respecting your integrity, and telling yourself that you’re able. It’s about taking a few steps, regardless of how little they may be, so you can move forward, and evolve.
Sad to say our 9 pm sunsets will be a thing of the past after today. Very slowly but surely the daylight hours are decreasing. This week I’ve noticed the change most when I get up in the morning. It’s been dark, when it was light out. Still we do have some summer days to enjoy, just not quite as long as they were.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
If you worry about what might be, and wonder what might have been, you will ignore what is.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2955. for a life lived with no regrets
2956. for summer while it’s here
2957. for something new to learn every day
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

Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

I like that resolution of getting rid of the should haves and not dwelling in the past. Great advice to take to heart. I too have noticed that we are losing the light in the mornings and evenings too. Kids will be going back to school in about 3 weeks.

Positive message!
I'm markedly guilty of living in the past, (when) things were pretty great. Until they weren't.
I need to focus on your sentence: "If we didn’t go through those experiences, we might not have grown into the strong and knowledgeable people we are today." Thanks for sharing this!
