ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FRIDAY,JANUARY 21ST, 2022
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 National Hugging day which is a day to embrace your loved ones to show your love and affection.
Scientific studies have demonstrated that hugs are encredibly good for us. A hug can lower your blood pressure trigger the release of healthy homones like oxytocin and relieve stress. Doctors recommend a minimum of 4 to 6 hugs per day for our emotional and physiological well being, but more is always better !
The record for the most hugs given in one hour by an individual is 1,749. Nick Vujicic achieved this feat at an expo center in Oregon in 2010.
Celebrate today and create a group hug or substitute hugging for handshakes in honor of the day!
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
A hug is like a boomerang — you get it back right away!

For today I’m sending you all A (((Big Hug))) from me to you. I love hugging and giving them too. Sadly, I live by myself and don’t get the recommended number of hugs every day, but when I see others I do try to make up for it. The pictures today show some in my family giving hugs. They are the best hugs I can get!
It’s Friday and my day to cook up something new and on the menu is:
Healthy Egg Salad
Makes 1 serving
2 hard boiled eggs,peeled and chopped
2 Tbsp. finely diced celery
1 Tbsp.mayonaise
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp minced scallon greens
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Mash eggs in a bowl with a fork. Stir in celery, mayonaise, mustard, scallion greens and pepper until combined.
You can serve this on whole grain bread or on crisp salad greens, Your choice. I’m making mine into a sandwich. You could also use greek yogurt instead of mayonaise to make it even healthier. I’m going to triple this recipe as I want to have some extra for lunch for a couple of days.
In an effort to get more exercise, I went walking at one of my favorite stores yesterday, I needed a few things from there anyway that I picked up while I walked Today I hope to do it again at a different store. . Maybe I’ll even see someone I can give a hug to.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
There’s something in a simple hug
That warms the heart
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.

Enjoy a hug today and you'll feel better. (((Hugs))))
I think EVERY day should be Hugging Day! It's been a lot harder for people to get their daily embraces during this miserable pandemic, and I think it's hurt them psychologically. Somehow, touching elbows just ain't the same.
I may not be there to hug you in person, but I'm sending you a great big virtual hug... and a kiss on the top of your head. Take care, sweet lady.
My mouth is literally watering at the thought of egg salad. It's been a long time!
Like Susan, I'm sending you a big old virtual HUG!
