ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR SUNDAY, MARCH 1ST, 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.

Welcome March!
The month of March is Red Cross Month, Clap 4 Health Month, International Ideas Month, International Mirth Month, Irish American Heritage Month, National Craft Month, Frozen Food Month, National Kite Month, National On Hold Month, National Umbrella Month, National Women’s History Month, Optimism Month, and Spiritual Wellness Month,
Today is National Peanut Butter Lovers Day which honors a $800 million industry dominated by household names such as Jif, Skippy and Peter Pan. Whether you prefer it smooth, chunky, or natural, peanut butter is the perfect addition to any snack. It goes with practically everything: crackers, pretzels, celery, carrots, apples, bananas, chocolate and much more.
Peanut butter is an excellent source of protein and healthy fats and can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. For the healthiest choices look for brands that have no oil or sugar added.
The average person will eat 1,500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before they graduate from High School. Its been popular since the early 1900’s
Celebrate National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day with a delicious peanut butter snack in honor of the occasion.
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
We turn not older with years, but newer every day.
Emily Dickinson
March is my Birthday Month and with a little help from the holidays on the calendar< I plan to celebrate all month long. I will be busy decorating today and will put up my Spring and St. Patrick’s Day decorations. It’s taken me awhile to pack up my Valentine hearts and flowers.
I’ve got some daffodils and tulips to put in the vases and some colorful table clothes and scarfs to put on the table tops. Bunnies and easter eggs will top it all off. Although Easter isn’t here until April this year, I always include them in my Spring decorations
And my cheerful Rooster plates are decorative and well as useful. They say, Good Morning ! It a new day!
My family has a birthday dinner planned for me to my favorite place to eat, Red Lobster! And I plan to enjoy some perch dinners for Lent too! Food is always a part of any celebration. The pictures today are of my dinner out with family last year.
My birthday may be only one day. but after all the years I’ve put in, I figure I can and should celebrate all month long. I been blessed with over 75 Years now and am thankful for each and every one of them. I’ve enjoyed a wonderful life, filled with some wonderful people.
The dear Lord has been very good to me.
On my actual birthday we’ll be springing ahead one hour. Not the best way to celebrate by losing one hour of sleep but that’s the downside of gaining one more hour of daylight . Daylight and sunshine are very important to me. It’s the time of year I come out of winter hibernation and have a lot more energy.
The days are getting longer and it’s been wonderful waking up to daylight and not darkness. Even though it means I’ve been sleeping in. I’m usually up well before 7, but lately, I’ve slept in til the dayiight wakes me up.
I hope you all have a Relaxing Sunday!

Please join me in celebrating all month long.
Why, thank you … I think I will. (I'm a March kid, as well!) Red Lobster's always a great place -- something for everyone, and double down on those yummy biscuits.
I've not much in the way of seasonal décor, but will also be putting out my greenery/'lucky charms' this afternoon.
PS - Are yours new glasses (pix #1)?
Happy Birthday!!
I think it is great you'll be celebrating your birthday all month long!! All the pictures were great Ma! Red Lobster is a favorite of ours too. We have never walked away being disappointed in the food. It still doesn't get light here until about 7 o'clock so we are still waking up in the dark. That will be for another month or two before it is finally light enough for wake up time.
betty
Happy Birthday next Sunday and I agree that you need to celebrate all month long!
You look so pretty in your birthday picture!
