ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR THURSDAY, MAY 27TH, 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 Sunscreen Day, which is reminder of how important it is to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun and start enjoying the great outdoors.
Even in ancient times humans wanted products to protect their skin. Ancient Egyptians preferred the look of light skin to dark skin so they invented a lotion to maintain lighter complexions. They used a combination of rice bran, jasmine and lupine in their lotions and some of these ingredients are still used in sunscreens today.
Many different scientists are credited with discovering modern sunscreen. In 1936, chemist Eugene Schueller invented a preventative sunburn cream and went on to start L’Oreal. Around the same time, Swiss Chemist Franz Greiter was inspired to develop a sun lotion after he was sunburned while climbing Mount Biz Guin. His product came to the market under the name of Piz Buin in 1946 and still is sold today. In 1944, Florida pharmacist Benjamin Green patented Red Vet Pet sunscreen, which became Copperotne suntan cream and was very popular throughout the 1950’s and still is today.
It’s good to celebrate today by remembering to apply and reapply your sunscreen whenever you go outside. Enjoy the nice weather and wear sunscreen.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Just living is not enough….one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.
Hans Christian Anterson
Sad to say today is supposed to be on the cool side here at my house. We have cooled off to the mid 60’s. Still it will be a good day to enjoy the warm sunshine. If I’m going to be out in the sun for a long time, I always try to remember to put sunscreen on. After a long winter, my skin is very fair and it wouldn’t take long at all to get a sunburn.
I have the spray on kind so I can reach the places I cannot see There’s no one here to rub the lotion on my back so I must do it for myself.
I love the sun, but it’s no fun to get a burn and it’s really damaging to our skin. So I’ll be celebrating and putting on my sunscreen today!
Along with that I also have a sun hat and sun glasses to protect my eyes. Better safe than sorry, they say.
The pictures today are of one of my trips to the beach here on the shores of Lake Erie.
I hope you have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
What sunshine is to flowers smiles are to humanity. These are but triffles, to be sure, but scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.

It's a good day to put your sunscreen on and enjoy the sunshine!
Pretty photos Ma. We should all remember our sunscreen!
Unfortunately, I was very lax in applying sunscreen when we lived in Phoenix. Better late than never! Plus, I've been getting 'new hat fever.' I tried some on at Target yesterday, but haven't found the right one yet.
