TODAY'S THOUGHT
In any moment of decision
the best thing you can do is the right thing,
the next best thing is the wrong thing,
and the worst thing that you can do is nothing.
Theodore Roosevelt
TODAY'S ACTION
Do your best. There is no better achieved than that.
TODAY'S QUOTE
When we are alone we want to be with others and when we are with others we want to be alone. After all, human beings are like that.
Gertrude Stein
HAPPY SATURDAY !
I’m going to try to breeze through the house blessing this morning as the ‘Newlyweds’ are supposed to be taking me to lunch. The weather man has been predicting 4-5 inches of snow today. Not really a good day to go anywhere. I guess we’ll be having ‘wintry’ weather for a few more days too !
Our ‘SUNSHINE BABES’ will be leaving on their cruise this weekend. I know they are excited and happy to be having a vacation. It’s too bad we can’t all go with them…
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY IS...SPOILED CATS DAY !
Yes, the most popular pets world wide are dogs! But, don't tell the cats!. People who own these little balls of fur know how independent and royal they really are. Of course, they were the favorite pets of the pharaohs. I think they remember this!

TODAY'S SMILE
Mrs. Lonefold's dishwasher quit working, so she called a repairman. He couldn't accommodate her with an evening appointment, and, since she had to go to work the next day, she told him: "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you the check.
By the way, don't worry about my Rottweiler. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do not under *any* circumstances talk to my parrot!"
When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Lonefold's apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Rottweiler he had ever seen. But, just like she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business.
However, the whole time he was there, the parrot drove him nuts with incessant cursing, yelling, and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled: "Shut up, you dumb bird!!"
To which the parrot replied:
GET HIM, Brutus!
Middle age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired.

TODAY'S REFLECTION
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies
Psalm 34:12
Surely we want to see good days. The psalmist gives two ways to bring this about:
Keep your tongue from evil. This means no gossiping. It also means avoiding telling dirty jokes and making fun of others. It also means no complaining.
Keep your lips from speaking lies Your tongue is a very powerful part of your body. Compassionate words can be soothing, but scornful words can be destructive
If you desire to be happy
And get rid of the misery of dread,
Just give up supposin’ the worst things
And look for the best things instead
Helen Steiner Rice
