Life is a Special Occasion!

Go For a Ride Day is today. And, what a splendid time you will have!
As the holidays approach, life becomes chaotic, and perhaps a bit stressful. Take a breather, and go for a relaxing ride. You don't need a destination to enjoy this day. But, you certainly can bring family or friends along for company.
Whatever your means of transportation, have a happy Go For a Ride Day.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Life is like riding a bicycle; we can keep from falling if we keep moving. Only a few trick riders can stand still and not tumble.

Fall is a beautiful time of year to go for a ride. At this point there is very little color left on the leaves, most of the trees are bare, but it is still very pretty out. I’m not much for highway driving, but love country roads.
With Thanksgiving just a few days away there will be a lot of folks going for a ride to relatives homes for a holiday visit. I’ll be saying a little prayer for safe travels and a Happy Thanksgiving week for everyone.
Today’s pictures are from a little ride taken just before Thanksgiving a couple of years a go.
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 Cranberry Relish Day
Honey Cranberry Relish
1 medium orange
12 oz. fresh or frozen whole cranberries
3/4 cup honey
Quarter and slice unpeeled orange, removing seeds. Coarsely chop orange and cranberries. Place in medium saucepan and stir in honey. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Cool.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
Irish Blessing
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4432. for all the rides and happy times
4433. for family to visit with
4434.for honey, good and good for you
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
Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It’s the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here’s a happy one for you.

A bit of love from someone dear…

Pretty pictures from the car ride. I always enjoy taking a car ride. You never know what you are going to see.

Maybe we will go for a short ride later today in celebration! That cranberry relish sounds very simple! I love it with oranges!
