Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Read a Book Day is today. Take time out of your busy life, and relax with a good book. Cozy up on a chair, indoors or out. It doesn't matter where you read that book, as long as you can do so in a comfortable manner. If you doze off along the way, we won't tell anyone.
Reading is a great lifetime hobby. It offers so many positive attributes. It's relaxing and therapeutic. It's educational. Its entertaining. And, a whole lot of other good things, too. Taking the opportunity to enjoy some time out of the day to relax and read is good for the soul and the mind.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
Mark Twain
Reading a book is always on my list of things to do each day. My favorite place to read is probably out on the porch but it’s been too hot out to enjoy it much at all the past few days. Today will be another hot one with temps in the 90’s they say. Perfect weather to enjoy a pool or the beach, but here I’ll be sitting inside in the a/c trying to keep cool.
I’m still playing around with the fall decorations here too. I’ve been trying to do something new with the old things I have here at my house. One thing about switching things around is that I get a lot of dusting done. Out with the old and in with the new.
I hope you all have a restful and RELAXING Sunday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Reading is a basic tool in the living of a good life.
Mortimer J. Adler
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3103. for books, I do love to read
3104. for silk flowers, they bring back lots of memories
3105. for a good cup of pumpkin spice coffee this morning
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 !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.
Christopher Morley
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

I do enjoying reading!! Nothing like reading out on the porch on a cool Fall day! Like you, it's still too hot here as well!! I'm so ready to cut the a/c off and open doors and windows. I love the 18 day count down!!
Such cute decorations you have for fall, Ma! I too am a reader and enjoy reading as much as I can :)
betty
Your decorations - particularly that wee blue bird - are adorable, Ma! I had a good chuckle at your mention of moving things around in order to dust.
It's been a while. I may just pick up a book this afternoon, and leave dusting for another day!
