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.

Life is a Special Occasion!

Today is Naional Goof Off Day, which is a day that just about everybody can relax and enjoy. It's a day
to do anything and everything except what you're supposed to do today.
Assuming you won't get in trouble at work or school, go ahead and play some golf, or play games all day. Spend extra time surfing the net. Go out and spend the day window shopping with your favorite friend. Or, just read sit down and read a book or watch TV. This day is set aside for you to do anything you enjoy doing.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The man who doesn't relax and hoot a few hoots voluntarily, now and then, is in great danger of hooting hoots and standing on his head for the edification of the pathologist and trained nurse, a little later on.
Elbert Hubbard
It will definitely be a day to goof off for me. I’m still suffering from the flu and about all I will be doing is resting, and drinking plenty of fluids. Thankfully I do feel some better just very weak and shaky.
I know I’ve been overdoing things and this is nature’s way of telling me it’s time to slow down. It never fails, but I will get sick when I’m doing too much. So for the next few days I’m taking it slow and easy.
Take good care all and try to stay healthy.
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
Today is Melba Toast Day!
Melba toast is a thin, dry slice of bread, that has been toasted to a crisp texture.
Melba Toast was originally named Toast Marie, by its creator, famous chef Auguste Excoffier. The name did not stick for long. Famous opera singer, Dame Nellie Melba, took ill and was on a limited diet, including dry toast. It was quickly renamed Melba Toast and became part of Nellie's diet while she was ill.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that money cannot buy; therefore value it, and be thankful for it.
Izaak Walton
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4750. for a day to rest and relax, trying to get well
4751. for a pantry well stocked with healthy foods
4752. for toast, one thing that settles well when your stomach is upset
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
The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.

I hope you feel better. Being sick doesn't qualify as goof-off.
Its a good thing you didn't get sick during the big part of the move. A few days of rest and I am sure you will be on the mend.

I'm hoping you are soon feeling better. I loved the E. Hubbard quote!
Yes, Melba toast used to be a staple in my mother's home. Neat to learn its back story!
I hadn't an opportunity to goof off today, but just sent DH into the city to 'goof' with his friends who flew down from Chicago today for the Spring training games.
