ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

63 DAYS UNTIL FALL

Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
July is National Anti Boredom Month, time to take stock of your life. Boredom is described as the state of being weary and restless through lack of interest.
The antidote to boredom is curiosity. Curiosity happens when you start to explore the world around you. You will be less likely to feel bored if you go out, get active, pick up a new hobby, or even volunteer. You will be too busy learning new things or meeting new people to feel bored.
Embrace adventure, try new and exciting things and you’ll never be bored again.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.
Oprah Winfrey
Here at my house, I’m never bored. There are so many things to do, that I’ll never run out in this lifetime. I really cannot recall the last time I felt bored.
Everyday you live, you have an opportunity to do something different, learn something new, and move forward.
I may live a quiet life in the slow lane, but it’s never boring.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday !
Today Poem
What I do today is very important because
I am exchanging a day of my life for it.
Outside my window, a new day I see,
And only I can determine what kind of day it will be.
It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay,
Or boring and cold… unhappy and gray.
My own state of mind is the determining key,
For I am only the person I let myself be.
I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help,
Or be selfish and think just of myself.
I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,
Or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone.
I can be patient with those who may not understand,
Or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.
But I have faith in myself and believe what I say,
And I personally intend to make the best of each day.

WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
Today is Junk Food Day which is all about satisfying your cravings for something naughtier, greasier, and definitely more fattening than the nutritional but not very exciting meal you know that you really should be eating
One of my favorite junk foods is potato chips and of course I have my favorite kind. While delicious, they’re packed with empty calories and saturated fat, which actually leave you hungrier . Junk food is good…but it’s not good for you
These healthy, easy to make zucchini chips require only two ingredients and make a wise alternative
1 medium to large zucchini
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Seasonings of your choice: paprika, turmeric, sea salt, pepper, garlic, or parmesan
Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Thinly slice the zucchini.
Place the zucchini slices onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Lightly drizzle olive oil over top, or spray with olive oil spray.
Sprinkle seasonings of choice over the zucchini slices.
Depending on your oven, bake for 35-45 minutes, keeping an eye on them so they don’t burn. When done, remove chips from baking sheet and place them on a plate and let cool.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Life is never boring, but some people choose to be bored, boredom is a choice.
Wayne Dyer
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4060. for wonderful and never boring days
4061. for zucchini, good and good for you too
4062. for water, cool and refreshing on hot days
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
Don't count the days, make the days count.
Muhammad Ali

I like those zucchini chips. I think I will make them soon. I too like potato chips. I am not bored usually, sometimes just lazy and not wanting to do much.

Love Junk Food day. Unfortunately that is everyday for me. I LOVE junk food. Especially potato chips. I need to try these zucchini chips. My favorite line in your post today is:
"I may live a quiet life in the slow lane, but it’s never boring."
Describes me to a T!
Happy Thursday
I'd like to try the chips, but my oven doesn't do much at 225. Trying anyway.
