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 National Yo Yo Day which is a fun day to dig out your old Yo Yo and show off your talents. They are considered to be the second oldest toy in history and can be traced back to Ancient Greece where Yo Yos were made of wood, metal and terra-cotta.
Over time yo yos have become a beloved toy for all ages to enjoy. Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon were all fans of the Yo Yo. They would often show off their skills in the White House.
Today celebrate this remarkable and historic toy, practice a few tricks of your own!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
So many toys, so little time…
I owned a Yo Yo as a child and they were very popular toys. Their popularity continued when my children were young too. These days though I don’t see them much at all. It seems that more and more technology has taken over and the toys my grandchildren enjoy are of a different sort.
The big news here is that we may see 4 days in a row now without rain. I know that may not sound very exciting to a lot of you, but for those of us that have had a lot of it for quite awhile, we are definitely happy to have some drier days.
Other than that there is not much new news to share. I’’m just happy to have some nice days to enjoy!
The pictures today are from yesterday's outing for a hair cut with DD and the group of us at the hair salon. My daughter and one of my nieces and the sweet gal that does our hair and then the lunch at Olive Garden with my daughter.
The picture taken of the four of us was also the first time I used a selfy stick. Which is probably my favorite new toy. It actually plugged into my phone and at the bottom of the stick there was a button to push when taking the picture.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS
Play is our brain’s favorite way of learning.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7132. for simple toys like the YoYo, they can be a lot of fun
7133. for no rain, a few drier days ahead
7134. for a wonderful day out
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
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!

Take time out to play a little every day...
Looked like a fun day, Ma! You did great with the pictures with the selfie stick! They come in handy indeed for capturing shots like this. Who can resist the Olive Garden? Always such delicious food and those bread sticks are the best!
betty
That selfie stick worked great!! Never was good with a yo-yo.
Like Monica just said, I could never get my yo-yo's to work. Your new 'do' looks so cute. Now I think I need me a selfie stick. :)
