ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

45 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER

Life is a Special Occasion!

Today is No Diet Day. Size matters, or does it? For too long health has been associated with unrealistic body types and unhealthy, dangerous fad diets. No Diet Day has been pushed forward with the intention of promoting healthy life styles at all body types. No Diet Day is meant to bring attention to size acceptance, while remaining mindful of the harmful effects that obesity can have on a person's health.
Celebrating No Diet Day is best done by recognizing that your own body is beautiful exactly as it is. Deemphasizing your efforts to shed weight to look a particular way, it is far better to celebrate the holiday with efforts at beginning to live a healthier lifestyle altogether. Worry less about your final goal, and more about getting out and being active and keeping your body healthy. Losing weight rapidly or shooting for unrealistic body types is an excellent way of causing yourself harm in the pursuit of greater health. Instead, love your body by finding active hobbies
and love yourself the way you look!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.
Sophia Loren
I stopped dieting years ago and some would say you can tell that just by the way I look. But I am happy with how I look and do try to eat a healthy diet without going overboard. I think the best thing to remember is that moderation in all things works.
I am who I am. I’ve never been what you’d call skinny. I’ve never desired to look like a model and am happy to be just as I am. It’s what we are on the inside that counts.
It’s looking like our streak of cooler Spring days might just be coming to an end. Instead of having 50 degrees for a high, the forecast is showing temps to be in the mid 60’s to lower 70’s all through next week. Anytime we get in the 70’s seems to be just about perfect for me.
I saw a recent Scam Alert in the news yesterday that I thought I’d pass along. In a new twist on an old scam, authorities are seeing an increase in thieves calling consumers and demanding payment using iTunes gift cards. Residents are urged to hang up on people who claim to be relatives or authorities who need payment by iTunes or any type of gift cards. Authorities stress that no government office, court, law enforcement agency or debt collector accepts payment by gift card, iTunes or otherwise.
Be safe!
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday !
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
It’s National Crêpes Suzette Day.
Crepes Suzette is a French classic that is fun and easy to make at home.
The ingredients are very simple and the finished product can be treated like pancakes or loaded with fillings like bananas, strawberries, eggs, or cheese, and then eaten like a burrito.
This recipe makes 7 to 8 sweet crepes. Add the ingredients together in this order:
1 Tbsp. butter
3 eggs
1 cup flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups milk
Enjoy !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Beauty is the gift of God.
Aristotle
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3835. for all sizes of people, the good Lord loves us all
3836. for active life styles, if you don’t use it, you loose it
3837. for desserts, remember they are stressed spelled backwards
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 attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
Audrey Hepburn
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

Its amazing with the scams people come up with, but sadly some fall for them, that's why they keep coming up with them.
I am like you, Ma, I haven't seriously dieted for a few years but trying to eat healthy and in moderation. I just need to start doing a bit more exercise though to keep the body moving :)

I quit dieting years ago too. We recently decided at my house (me and two teenage grandkids) to try to get into healthy eating. I stress to them that it is not about weight loss but about eating better, cleaner foods! I know I am overweight but it must be how the good Lord intended me to be! I have a cop son and a grandson who just enlisted in the Marines. I thank you for your prayers. I am going to do the same and say prayers for all of these people who put their lives out there for us to be safe and free! Have a wonderful weekend!
