ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR FRIDAY, MAY 14TH, 2021
The moments 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 Happy Anniversary to DS#2 and his wife.
An anniversary is a time two celebrate the joys of today, the memories of yesterday and the hopes of tomorrow.
May the dear Lord bless you both today and always !
Today is also Dance Like a Chicken Day. which is a popular dance at kids birthday parties, weddings and beyond.
Werner Thomas, a Swilss accordion player, wrote the basics melody for the Chicken Dance song in the late 1950’ws. In 1963 he began performing it at his restaurant. The people who bravely stood up and danced along often used sporadic movements that reminded Thomas of ducks and chickens.
By the time the Chicken Dance arrived in America in the 1970’s it had transformed into a set of movements with repeated beak, wing, and tail movements.
Today the Chicken Dance has earned a fond place in the playlist of cheesy party dance songs. Other favorites include the Hokey Pokey, the Electric Slide and the Macarena.
Celebrate today and dance like a chicken. Have fun !
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they’re right if you love to be with them all the time.
Julia Child
This is another of my long distance celebrations, but a card will be sent out with congratulations and love. I’m so happy this son and his wife found each other and are happy together ! They both served in the military but are now enjoying retirement even though they still work at other jobs.
I love the fact that all of my children have wonderful spouses. I believe in marriage and think it’s the best way to live a happy lifse. I was blessed with a happy marriage myself and so miss DDH and never found anyone to replace him.
It’s my day to cook something with seafood and on the menu is:
Pesto Corn Salad with Shrimp
Makes 4 servings
4 ears sweet corn, husked
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tbsp. salt
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/8 tsp pepper
1 ripe avocado peeled and chopped
1 lb uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined.
In a pot of boiling water, cook corn until tender. Drain and cool slightly. Meanwhile in a food processor pulse basil, oil and 1/4 tsp salt until blended.
Cut corn from cob and place in a bowl. Stir in tomatoes, Pepper and remaining salt. Add advacado and 2 tbsp. basil mixture, toss to combine.
Thread shrimp on skewers, brush with remaining basil mixture. Grill covers, over medium heat until shrimp turns pink. Remove shrimp from skewers and serve with corn mixture.
You can also use jarred pesto instead of basil. And it’s best to squirt some lemon juice on the avocado so it doesn’t turn brown. I cooked my shrimp in the air fryer instead of grilling it. I just brushed it with the basil mixture and cooked them for 8 minutes
I hope you have a FANTASTIC Friday!
