Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
November 10th is always Forget Me Not Day. Today is a day to remember family, friends, and loved ones, especially those who we haven't seen in a while.
Taking just a minute to let someone know that you are thinking about them means more to them than one realizes.
This day even has its own special flower, the Forget Me Not. The Alpine Forget Me Not is the official state flower of Alaska. This flower grows well all throughout the open, rocky places, high in the mountains of Alaska.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
I hope you all know that I would never forget you. I do try to keep in touch every day of the year. There is just not a lot of excitement here but I keep on posting every day with what ever news I have to share. Mostly I try to give you a reason to celebrate every day and look on the bright side of life.
We have had so many sunny days with the bluest of skies here in November. It’s one of the best so far that I can remember. I did see some folklore that said a warm November means a bad winter. I certainly hope not, most other predictions I’ve seen like the woolly bears here, have said that it will be a bearable one.
The long range forecast for this week says that temps will range between the upper 40’s and the lower 60’s with a couple of days with rain thrown in for good measure too.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
John F. Kennedy
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3298. for the internet, it lets me keep in touch with all of you
3299. for having so many wonderful friends and family in my life, I won’t forget you
3300. for a good cup of Jamaican MeCrazy coffee this morning.
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
44 Days Until Christmas
As we make out holiday gift lists and contemplate gifts and giving, it good to keep the idea of simplicity up front and center. A gift should say, I'm thinking of you, I love you, I hope to make you happy! But sadly, we often measure our gifts against the world, not against our hearts. Remember the spirit of the season is in simplicity. Giving from one heart, to another heart.
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
A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget me nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.
Charles H. Spurgeon
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

Those forget me knot flowers are always so cute :) We are due to have snow today. I'm looking outside and I can see the wind blowing a bit through the rustling of the trees and the clouds moving in, so the weatherman could be right.
