ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
TUESDAY, MAY 10TH, 2022
The moments of 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 also Clean up your Room Day which celebrates Spring cleaning. It’s a day to get motivated. Whether you decide to tackle a messy closet, a mounting pile of laundry or a whole room, or even the entire house, It’ll be well worth the effort.
The tradition of spring cleaning dates back to the days when people relied on the fire to light and heat their homes through the winter. After months of being shut up with no fresh air, everything in the house would be covered in soot and ash. Spring cleaning traditionally took place on the first warm day of the season. The entire family would roll up their sleeves and move all the furniture and linens outdoors. They would clean the house from top to bottom, scrubbing the walls, beating the dirt out of carpets and dusting everything in sight.
Begin your spring cleaning by putting things away in their proper place and creating piles for trash and donations, and scrubbing. When you’ve completed your project, remember to reward yourself for all your hard work. Happy Clean Up Your Room Day !
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The objective of cleaning is not just to clean, but to feel happiness living within that environment.
Marie Kondo
This DIL happens to live close by and I just saw her over the weekend, but I will also be sending out a card with birthday wishes and love. I won’t be seeing her today as I’m to go in for my eye surgery for cataracts on the 2nd eye. I’m very pleased with the results of the first eye and am looking forward to having this done and over.
Today DS#5 is taking me in for surgery.I’m to be there for a 8:15 surgery so it’s a rushed morning for me. He and my daughter decided to devee up the the appointments between them and now is his turn. He’ll also be taking me for my follow up appointment on the 13th too.
This is a busy week for me. But there is no spring cleaning going to happen. I’ve got one day ahead for recovery and then I’m going to DD’s house to stay with her son and their dogs while they take a little anniversary trip. They are celebrating 20 years this year and also DSIL’s 50th birthday !
Her son will be easy to watch as he is not a baby anymore and very self sufficient. The weather is to be beautiful and my daughter prepared her deck, just so I’d have a place to sit out in the sunshine. She’s making a list of instructions for me to follow and also making a menu for me to follow while they are gone. So I won’t be fixing anything on my menu for the rest of the week.
I’m going to call it my little spring break going over to her house. The view will be different and I’ll definitely enjoy the company !
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
10,231.for a clean house and some fresh air
10,232. for a visit with my grandson and the grand dogs
10,233. for sunny and warm days !
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!

It looks like a great day to me !
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DIL #5. It is good to have someone to be with you in and out for the cataract surgery. We hope you have just as much luck with this one as the last. I will give one bit of advice. Advice that I did not follow but Sherry did. Use sunglasses from now on, it will protect your NEW lenses. I messed up because I have never liked Sunglasses and now regret it. ;-O
Love from Florida (when you are able to read.) LOL.... ;-)
Happy Birthday blessings to your DIL #5! So glad you've loved ones to make sure you're not facing this procedure alone!
One of the gals in our Bible study confessed, she's not scheduled her procedure b/c she has no family or close friends to take her to Montgomery, and can't afford a cab. I love what one woman declared, "WE'RE family!" And half a dozen ladies raised their hands. Sometimes all you have to do is ask.
PS - Your 'staycation' at DD's sounds like a great respite!
Happy :) Birthday!!
