ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

18 DAYS UNTIL SPRING
Sunrise: 6:59 am
Sunset: 6:22 pm
Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Today is I Want You to be Happy Day which is an unselfish day. Its a thought that we wish upon others that we care for or love.
Celebrate today by doing more than wishing someone is happy. Do something to make others happy. Be creative. There are endless ways to make others happy.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
Henry Ward Beecher
I’m sending wishes for happiness to all of you today ! Hoping you have a very happy day!
Happiness doesn’t always mean the same thing to one as it does the other. Most of the time my happiness comes from knowing my family and friends are happy.
They say that happiness is the key to life. We know it when we feel it. I always try to remember that while every day isn’t a good one there is something good in every day. It’s there if we look for it.
Happiness is a choice. Our choice to make each and every day. If you want to be happy, You can!. Happiness is not something that happens to you. It is something you choose or don’t choose each and every moment.
On the home front I now know I can definitely start moving on the weekend of the 11-12th. Lots to do before then for sure. One thing I have found out for sure is that I’ll have a new internet provider and a dish instead of cable. That will be a whole new ball game for me as I’ve had cable for quite awhile. So if you don’t hear from me much in the coming weeks, you’ll know what the problem is. Hopefully it will be a smooth transition.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
Today is Cold Cuts Day. Cold cuts are those yummy, chilled slices of meat you get at the deli. You might pop them in sandwiches, you might have them drizzled with oil and with a few slices of cheese or whatever way you like them. Cold Cuts Day is all about celebrating all the tasty meats that are somehow even tastier when served up in slices.
Here is a recipe for an easy cold cut appetizer.
COLD CUT PINWHEELS
3 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 tbsp. milk
1/4 c. finely chopped green onions
1/4 lb. cold cuts, your favorite
Have cheese at room temperature. Blend with milk and stir in onions. Spread cheese mixture over cold cut slice of your choice , roll tightly. Wrap in waxed paper and chill. Cut into about 1 inch slices.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Allan K. Chalmers
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4708. for happiness, it’s my choice
4709. for cold cuts, good as appetizers too
4710. for family and friends
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
Decide that life is good and you are special. Decide to enjoy today. Decide that you will live life to the fullest now, no matter what. Trust that you will change what needs changing, but also decide that you're not going to put off enjoying life just because you don't have everything you want now. Steadfastly refuse to let anything steal your joy. Choose to be happy...and you will be.
Donna Fargo
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…

How exciting to have a date to start the move! I hope it goes smoothly. I have had a lot of different internet providers over our many moves and they have been relatively easy to get use to. Hope yours will be the same.

Blessings on your move! And..your pinwheels sound great!
Thank you for your 'happy' wishes, Ma!
Someone sure looks happy in this last photograph :)
Come to think of it, years ago I'd sometimes take turkey and cream cheese roll-ups to the office. I get in such a RUT of eating the same thing (crumbled up burger meat and cottage cheese) every day. This would make a nice change.
OH boy, what a treasure that last photograph is! How adorable and what a happy soul! Love the recipe and praying that all goes smooth for you with this transition in your life. Love and hugs and blessings to you and a huge thankyou for all that you share with us so generously every day. My time has been escaping from me lately and I have been very poor at reading and commenting. I do apologise for that. You are a treasure. xoxo
