ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR MONDAY, MAY 10TH, 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 also Clean Up Your Room Day which is all about Spring cleaning. Today is the day to get motivated. Whether you decide to tackle a messy closet, a mounting pile of laundry, a whole room or even the entire house, it’ll be well worth the effort.
The tradition of spring cleaning dates back to the days when people relied on the fire to light and heat their homes through the winter. After months of being shut up with no fresh air, everything in the house would be covered with soot and ash. Spring cleaning traditionally took place on the first warm day of the seas. The entire family would roll up their sleeves and move all the furniture and linens out doors. They would then clean the house from top to bottom, scrubbing walls, beating the dirt out of the carpets and dusting everything in sight.
Begin your spring cleaning by putting things away in their proper places and creating pies for trash and donations. Once you’ve decluttered it will become much easier to do the actual cleaning, dusting and scrubbing . When you’ve completed your project, remember to reward yourself for all your hard work!
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The objectives of cleaning is not just to clean, but to feel happiness living within that environment.

Even though this DIL lives close by, I doubt I’ll be seeing her today. She’s a busy mom and has her own daycare . I do get to see her more than most of my DIL’s and just spent an afternoon with them not long ago when their daughter had her first communion party. At any rate a card was sent in the mail wishing her a Happy birthday !
After a very wet and cold Sunday, it’s a joy to see the sunshine come out this morning. The week a head is to be warmer than last and we should be in the 70’s by the coming weekend they say. It’s going to be a blessing to be warm again. Yesterday felt just like winter.
I had a great day any way and DD and her hubby took me out for dinner. Monday’s are usually my day to cook but thankfully I have leftovers from that meal to heat up again today.
My Spring cleaning started weeks ago back in March, and has been an on going project. Right now I’m still working on getting the Spring clothing out and packing the winter things away. So today I will be in my room finishing up that job. It will be nice to get that much done. I am making a pile to give away. Nothing I no longer wear. There ar some things that no longer fit and I just need to get rid of them. They’ve been sitting in the storage tubs and never used. No doubt someone else will be able to use them.
I hope you have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a dreaded list of chores. It can be a rewarding experience that helps provide some structure and organization in your life.
Peter Walsh
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
9164for DDIL#5, it’s her birthday today!
9165.for warmer days ahead
9166. for left overs to heat up from my Mother’s Day dinner out. Sirloin steak marsala and garlic mashed potatoes.
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
ADVICE FOR TODAY

Happy 🙂 Birthday 🥳
Happy Birthday to your sweet DIL!
I don't know anyone who actually does an all-out Spring Cleaning anymore. Rather, a little bit at a time does the trick. Anymore that's all I'm able to do!
Happy birthday to your DIL! I'm glad you were able to go out for a nice Mother's Day meal and enjoy those leftovers too. Best of luck getting your spring cleaning finished up Ma. I'm doing the readathon this week, two books finished already and ready to start another one this evening! :)
My 15 yr. old gr-daughter is the mistress of messes. No one goes in there, except her sister.
