Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Fight Procrastination Day is today. It's a day to get things done, a call to action. To many people, procrastination is a way of life. The more difficult the action or decision, the easier it is to join the league of procrastinators. As a procrastinator, you are in very good company. You can even become a card carrying member of a Procrastinator's club.
Today is a day to fight procrastination. Make a decision. Take action. Do it now. Do it today. It may be hard to do. But, you will be glad you did.
Theme of the Day:
Never put of until tomorrow, what you can do today!
Mark Twain
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I never put off till tomorrow what I can possibly do — the day after.
Oscar Wilde
I can truthfully say I am a procrastinator. I really don't do things unless I have to. Of course there are a lot of things I have to do so I’m still always busy it seems. I tend to put off the things I don’t like to do. There are also a lot of them on my list too. I have so much to do that it is very doubtful that my work will ever be done.
Procrastination can really be the bane of our existence, with another day coming around the corner, there’s no real reason that we can’t put it off till tomorrow is there? Of course not, and tomorrow has another tomorrow, so let’s do it again! It is by this way of thinking that absolutely nothing gets done, and we know good and well that procrastination is us out to get ourselves.
It’s back to work and back to school for many today. I hope you were able to get done all that you wanted to this past weekend, but remember, if you didn’t get it done, there is always tomorrow.
One thing that doesn’t procrastinate is nature and todays pictures are of some of the beautiful flowers still blooming here around our house.
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 Coffee Ice Cream Day!
Just when I thought our Ice Cream holidays were over, it seems there is another one to celebrate. This ice cream recipe sounds so simple that even I could make it.
Easy, No Churn Creamy Caramel Macchiato Coffee Ice Cream Recipe
2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup liquid Caramel Macchiato flavored creamer
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
caramel syrup for drizzling
In large mixing bowl of stand mixer or in a large bowl and using an electric hand mixer, add all the ingredients: heavy whipping cram, sweetened condensed milk, Caramel Macchiato flavored creamer, coffee granules.
Whip the heavy cream mixture on high speed until stiff peaks form to prevent massive splattering, start out at a slower speed and as the cream thickens, increase the speed. Be careful not to over mix the whip cream mixture.
Pour half the whipped mixture into a freezer safe container. Drizzle with some caramel syrup. Pour remaining half of mixture and top with another drizzle of caramel syrup. Cover and freeze for about 4 to 5 hours. In about 3 to 4 hours you can have a soft serve type ice cream. If you prefer a more firm texture, freeze for at least 5 to 6 hours or overnight.
Top with additional caramel syrup when serving or add fresh fruit for a healthier alternative.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.
Spanish Proverb
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4198. for procrastinators everywhere, there is always tomorrow
4199. for ice cream, summer isn’t over yet
4200. for another day to try and get it right
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!

Such pretty nature pictures. I like coffee ice cream but haven't had it in years. I am not a bad procrastinator, but I can be at times. Sometimes if I have to do something, my mind keeps reminding me about it and I feel guilty if I don't get to it so I end up just doing it.
