ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
THURSDAY,FEBRUARY 24TH, 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.
Sunrise: 7:10 am
Life is a special occasion!

Today is National Tortilla Chip Day which were invented by Rebecca Webb Carranza in the 1950’s . She and her husband owned the El Zarape Tortilla Factory in Los Angeles and were among the first to mass produce tortillas. Their machine often produced misshapen tortillas, so she decided to try and use them instead of throwing them away. She cut the rejected tortillas into triangles, fried them, and sold them for a dime a bag.
Tortilla chips soon became a nationwide sensation , served alongside salsa, chili, guacamole and a variety of other appetizers. In 2003, the state of Texas made the tortilla chip the official state snack!
To celebrate today, buy a bag of your favorite tortilla chips and enjoy them with your favorite dip.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I eat a lot. I eat three times a day and I snack.
Suzzanne Somers
I do love to snack and love things salty and crunchy, so I do have some tortilla chips here to snack on along with some salsa too. I also love to dip them in guacamole and usually keep some snack size quacamole packs on hand.
There are many times I also like to fix a Taco Salad with some crushed tortilla chips mixed in. Just thinking about it makes me hungry. I may have to put that on my next menu of the week.
But for today I’ll just enjoy them as a snack. I have leftover stuffed peppers to enjoy for my dinner.
We’re back in the deep freeze and there is a good possibility of more snow coming our way. I’m going to try and get out today and get some errands done.
I was able to get an eye doctor appointment for tomorrow so I’m hoping the weather doesn’t’ get too bad. DD and I also have an appointment for a hair cut later in the day.
If you are not supposed to have midnight snacks, then why is there a light in the fridge?
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
All of life is a continuous state of wonder interrupted by bedtime and light snacks.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters and EMT’s.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Tortilla chips do make good snacks !
Sorry about the weather, but have a nice time with your daughter today!
I don't know if it's possible to get weary of eating tortilla chips .... but I'd like to try! Our favorite Mexican food restaurant in Arizona used to bring out a basket of those still-warm triangles and salsa. If we weren't careful, we'd fill up on those before our entree ever arrived!
PS - I wonder if we're not on the same 4-week schedule: I had my hair cut this morning!
I did not know this about tortillas! I love them too!!
We were near 80 degrees a few days ago and now ice has covered every blade of grass and trees and bushes. I have never seen the ranch in ice before. But it won't last long.....
Chips and salsa...who can resist!
