ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 

MONDAY, JUNE 16TH, 2025

 

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 Fresh Veggies Day which commemorates the nutritional value of fresh vegetables and their importance to our health. Fresh veggies are the best source of micronutrients that are vital for metabolism, growth, development, and disease prevention.

There is no such thing as a bad vegetable, although some may need extra work.

Today, people are encouraged to eat more fresh veggies because they are a necessity to staying healthy. 

Celebrate today and enjoy of meal of fresh veggies or visit a farmer and see how they're grown.

If you cannot see the bright side polish the dull side

 

THOUGHT  FOR TODAY

We should all be eating fruits and vegetables as if our lives depend on it- because they do.

Micheal Gregor 

Veggies are so important for us to eat.  I like them all and eat them often in the summer, especially.  I love salads for dinner and put as many veggies in it as I can.  I like them cooked as side or as a snack raw.  

When I was a young mom, I used to plant a garden and have fresh veggies of my own, but now I can no longer do that. I had wanted to get a tomato plant to grow here on the porch, but never managed to get one.  Vegetables  taste better homegrown, but the ones I’ll be eating will come from the grocery store .

They say the average American eats around 4 pounds of broccoli a year. It provides antioxidants that prevent cancer. What you eat is very important!

It’s a lazy day here for me.  My SIL is back to work, and I don’t have to go any where.  I don’t have any rehab classes scheduled until I after my vacation.

I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week! Happy Monday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie!

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

13,486.for a lazy day

13,487. for a fun weekend 

13,488. for fresh nutritious vegetables

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
