THOUGHT FOR TODAY
There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. That little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
W. Clement Stone
This little granddaughter is another of my long distance birthday celebrations and as always the card went out in the mail with my birthday wishes for a very happy day. The picture above was taken this summer. Looks like she thoroughly enjoyed her chocolate ice cream!
Today is also also Positive Thinking Day. This unofficial holiday promotes the idea that negative thoughts do more harm than good. They drain energy, create more stress and can make one a less likeable person. Nobody wants to spend time with someone who is always negative and pessimistic.
Medical research confirms that a positive attitude works wonders at fighting disease and ailments, from the common cold to cancer.
This day encourages you to focus on your attitude and the way you handle challenges you face each day.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
It’s National Peanut Day
Today is a celebration of the peanut, which isn’t really a nut at all. Technically, peanuts are legumes, simple put they are dry fruits in the same family as peas and beans. But don't let this fun fact get in the way of your celebrating!
To celebrate National Peanut Day, bake peanut butter cookies, watch a ballgame with a bag of whole peanuts, enjoy a nice chunk of peanut butter fudge, or make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch.
This is the time of year that I mix up a favorite snack mix. It’s a salty and sweet mix and very tasty.
Candy Corn Snack Mix
1 jar dry roasted peanuts
1 bag candy corn
It simple and easy. Just mix the two together and place in a candy jar or bowl for all to enjoy!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.
Joyce Brothers
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4219. for our Northern Belle, it’s her 5th birthday today
4220. for peanuts, very good and good for you too
4221. for positive thoughts, they make all the difference
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
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.

A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

Happy birthday to Northern Belle. She is a cutie, along with her siblings. You always have a positive attitude, Ma, but I agree it is the way to live. I like pretty much anything with peanuts, glad I am not allergic to them.
