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 Hammock Day which is appropriately celebrated right in the middle of the Dog days of summer, July 3 through August 11th.
Summer is in full swing and it’s time to slow down and relax. There is no better place to do that than a hammock under a shady tree. It’s not a day for work. Cutting the lawn is forbidden on this day. Enjoy the weather and recharge your batteries.
Kick back, and slow down and most of all, relax!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
For fast acting relief try slowing down.
Lily Tomlin
I’ve plenty of shade to enjoy here and am loving it on these hot days of summer. I don’t have a hammock but do have a comfy rocker on the porch. I really don’t do much when it gets really hot out, so rest and relaxation is always a part of a summer day.
We are starting the day with rain and then they say will cool down a bit. Looking ahead, the forecast for next week says it will be cooler with temps in the high 70’s and low 80’s. I’m ready for some relief.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
Steven Wright
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5092. for lots of shade
5093. for a comfy rocker
5094. for cool refreshing tropical beverages

So pretty green there! Would be so enjoyable to rest outside among it all!

I totally envy your temps, Ma!
Ya, a rocking chair sounds lovely. I've never tried laying in a hammock ... probably skeered I'd tip it over trying to get in or out!
Oh boy Pam, you are so blessed to have a front porch and a rocker! I can see you sitting in it and enjoying it! I adore mangoes. They are one of my favourite fruits! Your smoothie sounds delicious! Xoxo
