Life is a Special Occasion!

Today is International Fun At Work Day which is all about having fun at work and enjoying yourself. Let your imagination run wild and come up with some good ideas to have fun at work. You could dress up in silly clothes, crank up the music or behave a little bit mischievously today. The most important, don't take things too seriously today. This will not only help you to have a better time at work, but also your boss. Fun at work leads to lower levels of absenteeism, greater job satisfaction, and increased productivity. 

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

A day without laughter is a day wasted. 

Charlie Chaplin

Work can be fun, especially if you like what you do.  No matter what you do though, it’s always good to put some fun into it.  A positive attitude, and a joyful perspective on life make us healthier, happier, more productive, and more fun to be with. A little healthy humor is vital to our well being, 

It it is the end of another work week for many.  The weekend lies ahead and it’ll be a busy one for those that work as they try and fit everything in to what they couldn’t do at home because they were working.  I remember those days well. 

Every day is a busy one. Everyday is an adventure.  Every day there’s work to be done.  The important thing is to make it fun.

I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!

PRAYER REQUEST

Please join me today in praying for my oldest son who has been hospitalized and will have further testing today and then we will know better just what we are dealing with.  May the dear Lord guide the doctors caring for him and may my son have a good diagnosis and recovery.

We pray all things in Jesus name.  Thy will be done Lord.

COUNTING MY GIFTS

Humor is mankind's greatest blessing. 

Mark Twain

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for.  There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

4607. for chocolate, always good and good for you too

4608. for prayers, they work

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
