At first dreams seem impossible, then improbable, then inevitable
Christopher Reeve
TODAY'S ACTION
Remember that all glory comes from daring to begin
TODAY'S QUOTE
We rob our own lives much more than we know
When we fail to respond or in any way show
Our thanks for the blessings that are daily ours—
The warmth of the sun, the fragrance of flowers
Helen Steiner Rice

You can get the whole story on the official Li'l Abner site:

TODAY'S WORD
HARVEST HOME
In Europe and Britain, the conclusion of the harvest each autumn was once marked by great festivals of fun, feasting, and thanksgiving known as “Harvest Home.” It was also a time to hold elections, pay workers, and collect rents. These festivals usually took place around the time of the autumnal equinox. Certain ethnic groups in this country, particularly the Pennsylvania Dutch, have kept the tradition alive
TODAY'S REFLECTION
Incline my heart to Your testimonies and not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way
Psalm 119:36-37
The psalmist is praying for the Lord to help him turn his eyes away from worthless desires, many of which result from jealousy
See jealousy for what it is. Recognize jealousy instead of complaining of your inadequacies..
Turn it into positive energy.
Allow another's success to spur you on to greater things..
Love the life you have.
Look at the blessings in your life.
Relax and enjoy them.
Mary Ann O’Roark
TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC

I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!
