ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
THURSDAY,JANUARY 13TH, 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 Rubber Ducky Day which became popular in 1970 when Jim Henson performed the song, Rubber Duckie, as Ernie on Sesame Street and the rubber duck bath toy has been an iconic American symbol ever since. Rubber ducks have been around since the rise of the rubber industry in the late 1800’s, but no one knows their exact origin.
In 1992 a shipment of 29,000 rubber duckies fell off a cargo ship in the Pacific Ocean. By 2007 the Friendly floats had traveled 17,000 miles around the world on the ocean currents. Some are still afloat today! Over time, people reported seeing duckies in places such as Aistralia, Indonesia, South America, the Bering Strait, the Arctic, and in the Atlantic Ocean.
Have a Happy Rubber Ducky Day!
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck.

I don't have cute little rubber duck pictures to show, but I do have pictures of real ducks. They love water and rubber duckies are a favorite bathtub toy!
Some people even have them floating in their swimming pools. They are always a welcome and happy sight !
I’m all about happy and cheerful things. and if it makes me smile, I’m a happy person.
We’re to still be in the 30’s today but they say the 20’s will be back on Saturday. At least we got a chance to get outside for a bit without freezing to death. I got my shopping done yesterday but today I’ll be staying in and trying to catch up on some housework here. It never goes away and there is something that always needs doing.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!!
