Life is a Special Occasion!

Today is National Rubber Ducky Day! In 1970, Jim Henson performed the song 'Rubber Duckie' as Ernie on Sesame Street, and the rubber duck bath toy has been an iconic American symbol ever since. Rubber ducks have been around since the rise of the rubber industry in the late 1800s, but no one knows their exact origin.
Rubber Ducky, you’re the one...
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Enjoy the little things, for one day you make look back and realize they were the big things.
Robert Brault
Those little yellow rubber duckies are a lot of fun and most of us have had them floating around in the bath tub at one time or another. I know I’ve given a few away as gifts too, especially for baby showers.
They are a reminder that we all need to have a little fun in our lives. Sometimes we get so busy, we forget to slow down and have a little fun. Fun doesn’t have to be expensive. Joy is free!
Ever wonder why time seems to speed up the older and busier you get? The answer is simple: It's probably because you're just not paying attention. We need to slow down in order to see the bright side of life. To notice more, not do more. Slow down, pay attention and notice more.
This week continues to be a cold and snowy one. Yesterday there were several school closings in our area due to road conditions. When it’s so cold out that there is no melting going on, there is a lot of slipping and sliding going on.
Take good care everyone !
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.
William Arthur Ward
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3493. for little things that remind us to slow down and enjoy life
3494. for another day of fun under the sun
3495. for joy in life; free and available to everyone
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
For fast-acting relief, try slowing down.
Lily Tomlin
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

I always liked rubber duckies and enjoyed that song from Sesame Street when Ernie would sing it; he did like his rubber ducky indeed! We do need to slow down a lot and pay attention indeed; we get wrapped up a lot of times thinking of what we need to be doing, when perhaps the best thing we could be doing is just stop and enjoy a few minutes enjoying the beautiful world God made for us to enjoy :)
betty
Rubber ducky Day! And one day closer to spring! YAYYYY!
