ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR THURSDAY, APRIL 16TH, 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 National High Five Day which a day to give a high five to someone. The high Five is a celebratory hand gesture that occurs when two people simultaneously raise one hand about head high and push, slide or slap the flat of their palm and hand against the palm and flat hand of the other.
The gesture is often preceded verbally by the phrase, Give me five or, High Five ! A group of students at the University of Virginia declared the first National High Five Day in 2002.
The trick for the perfect high five is to look at the other person’s elbow when you are about to high five them. You’ll havae a perfectly accurate high five every time. Seriously, high fives can be used to celebrate anything, that’s why High Five Day exists, just one more reason to use that universal gesture of excellence, the high five!
Happy National High Five Day!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Give people high fives just for getting out of bed. Being a person is hard sometimes!

To me a High Five says Yes, we did it. We won the game or succeeded in doing what we set out to do. We congratulate each other for a job well done! There have been many high fives given here at my house. I think we should all give each other a high five today because we’ve made it so far in this fight against the coronavirus that is hitting all of us. Hang in there ! Hopefully it will soon be over. I think we’re all tired of this way of life, but we still have a way to go before it’s over so we just have to the best we can until it’s over !
The picture above is of a puzzle that DD and her family completed and since then they’e done another one too. They get a high five for working together to get the job done! The other pictures are of the face masks DDIL#2 made for the family. High Five, Great job and we are all al thankful for them!
Our lives and the lives of our loved ones is worth it. High five to the ones that are working every day to care for the sick, to feed the hungry, and to give us the courage to go on another day. It’s not been easy for any of us and I’m so thankful that right now all my loved ones are safe and healthy.
I hope you have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!

High Five from me to you - you're doing a great job, hang in there !
Good looking masks! Looked like a hard puzzle they put together! Sounds like your family is doing all they can to try to stay active during this time. I will give you a virtual high 5 Ma for all of your encouragement during this time.

What she said! (*smile*) Lots of reasons to High Five if we just look around (instead of down).
