ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH, 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 Beautiful Day which celebrates the fact that every day can be turned into a beautiful day. The original the day is unknown which means everyone can celebrate whatever makes days beautiful for them. This might depend on the weather, on what you eat or who you meet. Beautiful Day is day to seek for the beautiful things in every ordinary detail.
It’s also possible to meet some friends on Beautiful Day and create something new and beautiful together.
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
Every day that I wake up is a beautiful day to me. I’m so thankful for each new day where I get a chance to do better than the day before. We have so many negative things going on in the world around us, it s good to have nothing but beautiful thoughts.
Looking for the beauty in everything is not always easy. We’ve been taught that certain things are beautiful which makes it difficult. But beauty is everywhere, in everything and it’s up to us to open our eyes and look around to see it. It’s always there .
My dinner for tonight might not look like a creation of art but to me it’s a thing of beauty, it’s another healthy dish I can eat to make myself better. This diner was meant to be one I’d fix on Saturday for the weekend, but somehow I mixed things up so I’ll be fixing it a day early. It doesn’t really matter because the leftovers will still be delicious and nutritious.
Slow cooker Salsa Chicken
Serves 8
2 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken
2 tbsp. taco seasoning mix.
1 cup diced tomatoes with habaneros such as ROTEL
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 cup prepared salsa
1/4 cup water
Put chicken into the crock of a slow cooker. Sprinkle with taco seasoning over chicken.. Layer diced tomatoes, onion, celery and carrots over chicken, top with salsa. Pour water over the entire mixture.
Cook on low until chicken is easily shreddable. 6 to 8 hours. An instant read thermometer should read 165 degrees.
Shred chicken with 2 forks and stir with the salsa mixture.
Serve in a bowl, similar to stew and top with grated cheese, sour cream, cilantro and chopped scallions.
It’s also great for filling tacos and burritos or even as the meat for tortilla soup. Use your imagination to create other menu ideas.
I used regular diced tomatoes because I don’t llke anything too spicy or hot. I think I’ll have mine on a taco shell first and then put some in a taco salad the second day for variety. The possibilities seem endless.
The pictures today are of some beautiful days this past year they may not be the best we had but they were beautiful.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The most beautiful things are not associated with money; they are memories and moments. If you don’t celebrate those they can pass you by.

Have a beautiful day! :)
Like Ray Stephens used to sing, "Everything is beautiful, in its own way." Best I commit that one to memory!
I'm so going to make this salsa chicken! The slow cooker may well be my favorite appliance.
