THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Kind people are the best kind of people.

My oldest son’s birthday is sadly another of those long distance ones and the card went out in the mail as usual.
None the less I’ll be celebrating.
We’ll also be celebrating Be Kind To Humankind Week which reminds us all that small acts of kindness add up, and are things we each can do every day. But don’t let kindness stop this week, celebrate kindness year around
I don’t know about you but I’m ready for a week of kindness. Kindnesses given and received. Life is too short. Don’t waste a moment on hatred or anger. With a little kindness shown, we can all help the world to be a better place.
Always be a little kinder than necessary.
James M. Barrie
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday !
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
August 29th is More Herbs, Less Salt Day which promotes use of healthy herbs over salts.
Late August is a very appropriate time to celebrate this special day. The harvest of garden herbs is at a peak. There's nothing better than fresh garden herbs in your favorite recipe
I found this recipe for making your own Healthy Ranch Dressing Mix to share today
1/4 cup dried Parsley leaf
1 Tablespoon Dill leaf
1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 tablespoon Onion Powder
1/2 teaspoon Basil leaf
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Mix all ingredients together in jar. To make into Ranch Dressing, mix 1 Tablespoon of this mix with 1/3 cup Mayonaise or Greek Yogurt and 1/4 cup Milk.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
In a world full of people who couldn't care less, be someone who couldn't care more.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4177. for DS#1, it’s his birthday today!
4178. for kindness, it makes all the difference
4179. for herbs growing right outside my back door
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
Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone,
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own.
Adam Lindsay Gordon
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

Happy birthday to your son, Ma! I bet you were excited all those years ago to be a mom for the first time!
So true to let go of anger and to be kind to each other. Life is too short otherwise. Great timely advice today!
betty
I loved all the pictures of your son and his family. Especially the one with the Christmas trees. It brought back memories to me of when we used to go out to cut down our tree. Except we had lots of snow!! Have a great week Ma!
.Happy Birthday to your son! Like you, most of my children live miles away. I love all your pictures you have a nice looking family there
Happy Birthday to your son! And thanks for sharing the ranch dressing. It sounds wonderful. I love homemade ranch when they make their own house version in the restaurants. Even Hidden Valley mix is good. I didn't really know what all was in it. Have a great week!
Happy Birthday to your oldest son! He looks to have a very cheerful disposition and what a lovely family. I know how it feels to have your children live long distance. (((hugs))) Love the dressing recipe. Ranch is my favourite. As usual love all of your thoughts, quotes, etc. Thanks so much for all that you share! Have a fabulous Tuesday! xo
