ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

THE BRIGHT SIDE

Decide to be happy today, to live with what is yours – your family, your business, your job, your luck. If you can’t have what you like, maybe you can like what you have.

Just for today, be kind, cheerful, agreeable, responsive, caring, and understanding. Be your best, dress your best, talk softly, and look for the bright side of things. Praise people for what they do and do not criticize them for what they cannot do. If someone does something stupid, forgive and forget. After all, it’s just for one day.

Who knows, it might turn out to be a nice day.

THE BRIGHT SIDE

I'm looking out the window
and the day is drab and dreary,
And I'm trying to console myself
by thinking something cheery
I know it's simply horrible
to get in such a slump
And I also know it's up to me
to get across the hump
And I realize I'm selfish
to mention this to you
For, gee, you might be feeling
a little 'low-down' too
but often when I feel like this
I tell myself it's true
That I am not the only one
who feels 'low-down and blue'
And just knowing there are others
who feel the way I do
Renews my sinking spirit
and keeps me smiling through
and know that it's natural
to take a 'spirit-dive'
Provides the spunk and courage
to hang on and survive
And while there are a lot of moods
that we can drive away
by looking on the BRIGHT SIDE
in all we do and say,
There also is a loneliness
that God meant us to feel
But, gee, it sure is mighty hard
to know which one is real
And I'd hate to be a 'sad sack'
who never saw the sun
And just complained that every day
was such a dreary one.
But I know that all the dark days
are just part of God's plan
We should accept them graciously
and do the best we can...
So I'll just keep on trying
for I know it's 'Gospel true'
there never was a cloud so dark
the sun could not shine through!

On the Bright Side Newsletter

I send this little letter out each morning to all my family and friends and even to a few people that I've never met. Many of them send it on to others too. So in order to make it available to more people I post the 'brighter side' of the news here each day in this journal.

The letter began as an effort to keep in touch with my family as they are spread out in all directions. My family, friends and God are the most important things in my life.

You'll find quotes, poems and stories and even a few recipes included in this newsletter. I try to find something new each day to share.

In a world that very often publishes only the dark side of things I felt that others would be encouraged to hear about
'the bright side'.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH, 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.

Happy Birthday to you♥

Today is also National Guacamole Day which celebrates a party dip that has more benefits than meets the eye.

Guacamole is made from avocados, which are packed with more than twenty vitamins, contaxin good fats that reduce cholesterol, can help fight cancer, and be used as a substitute for butter or shortening in baking.

You can purchase premade guacamole at your local supermarket or buy some ripe avocados to make your own. Cinco de Mayo, Fourth of July, Super Bowl Sunday, and Easter account for approximately five percent of annual Avocado sales. Have no fear, avocado trees produce up to 400 fruits a year so there should be plenty to go around.

Happy National Guacamole Day!

If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side

Juilanne Hough

This DIL’s birthday is another of my long distance celebrations and tomorrow I’ll be celebrating another one. Her youngest son was born the day after her birthday. So I’ll be sending them both cards in the mail full of birthday wishes and love.

My favorite store bought Qyacamole is Wholly Guacamole. It comes individually packaged at the store and buy it often. I love to dip my tortillas in it. Its good and good for us too. One of the healthier snacks I eat.

So I’ll be celebrating today by lighting my birthday candle and snacking on my favorite healthy snack.

I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!

We love guacamole, but the last time I made any, I made too much and it spoiled. Thanks for the recommendation; I'm going to look for that at our grocers.; September 16, 2021 at 12:06 PM
