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 Wave All Your Fingers at Your Neighbor Day which was created to put a smile on your face and that of your neighbor. It’s a day to appreciate good neighbors. With this small gesture of kindness comes a good feeling for both of you. Combined with a smile, the wave might be even be the start of a new friendship.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
And good neighbors make a huge difference in the quality of life. I agree.
Robert Fulghum
This winter I’ve barely seen my neighbors at all let alone wave to them. They all seem friendly enough, but keep inside most of the time when it’s cold out. I got more opportunity to see them when the weather was nice.
I always try to smile and wave when I do see them. Having a good neighbor is a blessing for sure but having lived here for almost a year now I’ve found that mine pretty much keep to themselves.
This is probably the quietest community I’ve ever lived in and I’m appreciative of that as I have had a few bad neighbors in the past. You can see by the picture above they are pretty close by so it’s very nice they are good neighbors.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
Its National Frozen Yogurt Day which is a healthier alternative to ice cream. Frozen yogurt has come to ge eaten almost as much as ice cream and served in just as man flavors and variety. It’s a great source of calcium and potassium.
Today’s recipe only takes 5 minutes to make and takes only 4 ingredients.
Frozen Strawberry Yogurt
4 c. frozen strawberries
3 or 4 tbsp. honey
1/2 c plain greek yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon
Add all ingredients to bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth, about 5 minutes and serve right away. If you like you can transfer to an air tight contain and freeze for up to a month.
makes 4 servings

I've lived in my neighborhood for almost 30 years and all we do is wave to each other. That is how I like it. I pretty much keep to myself. Hope the snow is melting for you. We are expecting some more here today!!
We've certainly been blessed with great neighbors ... but everyone's so busy with his/her lives, our 'everyday' is little more than a wave.
I never developed a taste for traditional yogurt, but I used to be addicted to those frozen yogurt shops; pity so many of them fell by the way.
WE have pretty good neighbors here, (except for the druggies across the road). The other night there was a knock on the door and it was the young couple who just moved in a few doors away with a slice of their wedding cake for us. They got married at the weekend. I thought it was a really nice gesture. I MISS FROZEN YOGURT! They don't have it over here. I wish they did! I love the stuff! Thanks so much for all you share Pam. You truly are a positive force in a world that can be quite negative. xoxo
