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!
Hallmark
Today is Eat What You Want Day. The only rule you must obey is, of course, eat what you want, however you want it, how much you want it! Forget your diet and eat whatever you want for one day.
In today's fast paced world, where time is premium, diets have taken control of people to wish to live a healthy life. All of us have some kind of dish or food that we love but have to stay away from because it is not very healthy. This unofficial holiday allows people to take one day from the year and guiltlessly indulge in their favorite foods.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.
Elsa Schiaparelli
I pretty much eat what I want every day. I enjoy food and even like my own cooking. The trick I think is everything in moderation. Too much of a good thing is too much. Thankfully I don’t have any dietary restrictions or allergies to food. It’s a blessing for sure.
After a few beautiful, but cool sunny days, it is raining here this morning. Things had pretty much dried up here and I was able to get the grass cut yesterday. With more rain coming I’m assured this is one job that isn’t going to go away for a long time. I’m not complaining as it’s a job I can still do on my own.
The pictures today are of the sunny blue skies we enjoyed the past few days.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS
Good food is a celebration of life.
Sophia Loren
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4879. for a well rounded diet, I eat what I want
4880. for cake, a necessity for any party
4881. for strength to do what is needed
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!

I too believe it is good to eat in moderation everything we want to eat. Such pretty blue sky!

Pizza, it's what's for supper ... perhaps with an egg sunnyside up atop its gooey goodness.
Oh, who am I kidding. I'd be wishing my life away if I could only enjoy it once each year. Moderation has always been my Achilles heel. Cute quote by Robert Heinlein!
I eat what I want everyday too. But today I ate a huge salad for lunch. If only I had known it was 'eat whatever you want day'. Ha! Ha! It's raining again here too. I hope I can mow this weekend.
