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.

Happy Birthday to our Southern Belle today !

Happy Birthday to you♥
Today is also Mad Hatter Day which is a great day to be silly and celebrate silliness. The Mad Hatter is a fictional character depicted in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The Mad Hatter is always acting silly, so it’s fitting to act a little silly yourself.
The selection of the day is because on the front of the hat is a slip of paper with 10/6 written on it. The paper is believed to be an order to make the hat that cost ten shillings sixpence.
So grab your hat today and have a very silly Mad Hatters’s Day.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Mix a little foolishness with serious plans: It’s lovely to be silly at the right moment.
Horace
This granddaughter’s birthday is another one of my long distance celebrations. So as usual another birthday card was sent off in the mail with love and best of wishes for a very Happy Birthday. She is growing into a beautiful young lady.
A little silliness now and then is good for all of us. We need to let go of all the seriousness of life for awhile and just have fun. All work and no play makes for a very dull me. !
With colder weather on the horizon it’s a good time to locate my hats. I stored them away after last winter and they’ll soon be needed. Not today though! Yesterday, we started off in the 40’s and warmed up to the lower 60’s, but we’re to be back in the low 80’s today and we also have a chance of more rain.
These warmer days are a blessing but they won’t be around much longer. I’m just enjoying the days while we have them. The only hat I’ve been wearing is my straw hat that shades my eyes from the sun. It’s time I put that one away for the year and find the others that will soon be needed.
Holiday tip for today: Save money on holiday decorating
Choosing a personal theme for your decor makes it meaningful and fun. Do a quick inventory of your holiday decorations and keep them in mind as you discover new ideas for decorating. Then you can update your decor with only a few simple additions.
I have used the same decorations for several years, but usually add at least an one item or two. Looking at new ways to use them is fun. By rearranging what I already have, I can create a whole different look.
My Unstuffed Cabbage
I got some cleaning done yesterday and my cooking done for the weekend, so today I hope to find something a little more fun to do.
I hope you all have a SUPPER Saturday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Most of us would be upset if we were accused of being silly. But the word silly comes from the old English word ‘selig,’ and it’s literal definition is to be blessed, happy, healthy and prosperous.
Zig Ziglar
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6404. for our Southern Belle, its her birthday
6405. for silliness, we all need some
6406. for pleasant days before the cold sets in
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!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
If people did not sometimes do silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

It's always nice to have something to celebrate !
Happy birthday blessings to your Northern Belle! … I remember what fun it was when my birthday would fall on a weekend.
'Not familiar with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but the Mad Hatter is a delight! That reminds me, one of my blog friends (Sandra) has a passion for photography and her blog name is the Mad Snapper. :)
Well, yikes. I did it again. :( Happy Birthday to your lovely SOUTHERN Belle!
Happy ☺ Birthday 🎂
Happy Belated Birthday to Southern Belle! She is very pretty! Grandson likes to wear a plastic bowl of mine on his head as a hat :)
