ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

FOR TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11TH, 2020 

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.

Today is Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day which reminds us that everyone spills a little milk now and then.  We are encouraged to look beyond such annoyances and move on.  

Throughout the world there are move than 6 billion consumers of milk and milk products.  Milk is a key contributor to improving nutrition and food security .  

India is the worlds’s largest producer and consumer of milk, yet neither exports or imports milk.  New Zealand,  Australia and the United States are world’s largest exporters of milk and milk products.  China and Russia and the largest importers of milk and milk products.  

If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses

Focus on your character, not your reputation.

Focus on your blessings, not your misfortunes.

Roy T. Bennett.

A little spilled milk is truly nothing to get excited about. I have spilled a whole jug of it before, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s nothing to get bothered about.  Things happen and there’s no need to keep dwelling on them.  Just clean up the mess and move on. 

It’s a day for looking on the bright side and keeping a positive attitude even when things might not be going our way.  We can’t undo something that has already been done.   We don’t need to stress over the little mistakes in our past. 

Milk is very good for us and something we should have every day.  Some have allergies to it but there are many ways to substitute for it. Luckily I have no allergies and do enjoy a cold glass of milk regularly.  Nothing like a big glass of milk with your cookies.

I’ve no milk pictures to share today so I thought I’d share a few more  of my Valentine decorations.  

I managed to get my emissions test done yesterday, and yay, the little red hen, my car,  passed!  Then I went on to renew my drivers license and get the new license plate stickers. We’re all set now for another year.

Today I’m going to visit the library where they will hopefully help me get my kindle all set up so I can borrow books to read from the library. I read a lot and I know others who do this so it’s sounds like a good way to go.   We’ll see...

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

I hope you have aTERRIFIC Tuesday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

Gratitude is one of the most powerful human emotions.  Once expressed it changes attitude, brightens outlook, and broadens our perspective.
