ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
MONDAY, JULY 26TH, 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.

Life is a special occasion!

Today is All or Nothing Day which observes a unique occasion, The answer to this question is different for every one, but one thing is certain — this is not a holiday to take lightly.
This is a day to take risks and live on the edge. Live like today is your last day on earth and let your inner daredevil shine. Be sure to make peace with your enemies, spend time with your loved ones, and do something you’ve always wanted to do.
Try something new, seek adventure, and gives the day all you’ve got. All or Nothing Day only happens once a year. so don’t hold back.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Helen Keller
I’ve always thought of each day as a new adventure. There is always something new to learn or a new place to explore. I like to do so many different things that I’m never bored.
I’m sure that today will be something new to me too. We never know what might happen. I like to think only good things will come our way. But that is not always the case, but we just have to make the best of whatever we’re given. Each day is such a gift, and I’m thankful for each one of them.
It’s supposed to be hot day with temps close to 90. It’ll be a good day to do something inside and keep cool unless you have a pool to enjoy.
I love being up early in the morning and watch the sun rise. Every one is different. I’m always up early but take my time waking up and am rarely ready to get out and about before noon unless it’s for a doctor appointment or something speciall. It’s something I enjoy since I rarely had time like this to myself all the years I had to go to work, but now with retirement, I have no need to rush for anything. God’s mercies are truly new every morning.
Today is my first day of the week to cook and on the menu is:
One Pot Tomato Basil Pasta
Makes 4 servings
8 oz. whole wheat rotini
2 cups water
2 cups chicken broth
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1//2 tsp. garlic powder
1/1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
6 cups baby kale or baby spinach
1/2 cup slivered basil.
Grated Paremesan cheese for garnish
Combine pasta, water, broth, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and crushed red pepper in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Uncover, reduce heat to medium nd cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Stir in kale , and cook stirring often until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Garnish with Parmesan if desired.
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday!

Life is an adventure !
For my all or nothing today I decided to walk a path through my house to see if I can log two miles. I really miss getting out for my walks but it's just too hot. It's going to be repetitive and my husband will think I've lost my mind but I'm going for it lol!
Enjoy your delicious pasta today! :)
Good thing 'all or nothing' doesn't mean taking risks! Living large - and appreciating what I've been given - is plenty.
