Life is a Special Occasion!

August 23rd is Ride the Wind Day. It's a carefree day to soar above the earth. You can catch a ride with the breeze, or float along slowly like a gentle, late summer cloud.
Summer will soon be over. Catching the drift of this day is easy. Just relax, and let the wind carry you away in whatever direction it is blowing. Leave your troubles and worries behind for a spell, as you waft in the air.
Enjoy the breeze !
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you... while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
John Muir
I’d say my favorite way to ride the wind is watching the clouds floating by and that is what my pictures are of today. Lots and Lots of clouds seen while taking a ride. When I have blue skies and white puffy clouds to watch, it always makes me feel relaxed and peaceful
The summer breezes allow us to fly a kite, watch the birds soar through the sky, watch the wind in the trees, cool off in the heat, and let the breeze blow through our hair. Summer breezes are wonderful !
Ride like the wind is also sometimes used to refer to the act of doing things without purpose. Just like the wind can change direction at any time, someone riding like the wind can change the course of their lives without any warning and do things without any rhyme or reason.
I’ll be missing the warm summer breezes and the green on the trees when they go, but for today, I’m thankful they are still here. Today we’ll approach mid 80’s but the long range for next week shows temps mostly in the 70’s.
I hope you all have a RELAXING and rest filled Sunday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
May brooks and trees and singing hills
Join in the chorus too,
And every gentle wind that blows
Send happiness to you.
Irish Blessing
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3061. for gentle summer breezes
3062. for clouds and birds to watch, relaxing entertainment
3063. for the green leaves on the trees, soon they’ll begin to fall
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.
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
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
William Arthur Ward
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
