ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1ST, 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.

Welcome October!
The month of October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, American Cheese Month, American Pharmacist Month, Apple Jack Month, Clergy Appreciation Month, Cookie Month, Eat Country Ham Month, International Drum Month, National Diabetes Month, National Pizza Month, National Popcorn Poppin’ Month, and Seafood Month,
Today is World Smile Day which celebrates Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts. He is known to have created the yellow Smiley Face in 1963. The Worlds first World Smile Day was held in the year 1999 and has been held annually since.
After Harvey died in 2001, The Harvel Ball World Smile Foundation was created to honor his name and his memory. The slogan of Smile Foundation is, improving this world, one smile at a time. The foundation continues as the official sponsor of the World Smile Day each year.
A smiley, or happy face is a representation of a smiling human face. It is commonly represented as a yellow circle or sphere with two black dots representing eye and a black half circle representing the mouth. Smiley is also sometimes us as a generic term for any emoticon.
To celebrate today, don’t forget to share a smile or two with someone else.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.
L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
I love to smile and get smiles back too. Smiling always makes me feel better. It’s a well known fact that when you smile you will be happier. Thankfully, I have lots of pictures to share of smiling faces today. A smile is a curve that seems to set everything straight !
I like to think of October as Pumkin month and there is nothing quite like a smiling Jack O’ Lantern face. It’s welcoming and makes me happy too.
Some may think it’s a scary month full of monsters and ghosts, but I think of it as a welcoming and happy month filled with lots of family fun.
Today is my day to cook once more and on the menu for today is:
Garlic Toast Pizza
makes 8 slices
I like to keep Friday’s meatless so mine will not have any meat, only cheese
1 package frozen garlic Texas toast
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 pkg. sliced regular or turkey pepperoni, optional
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place Texas toast in a baking pan. Beke 5 minutes.
Spread toast with pizza sauce and top with pepperoni and cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes longer.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday !

Here is a ****BIG SMILE**** for you today !
Gosh golly, just reading the words, "Garlic Toast Pizza" and my mouth began watering all on it's own! I didn't realize the iconic smiley face dated back so far! And look how it's evolved into so many cute emoji's. They never fail to make me smile.
Happy October 😄 Happy Friday!
