ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

APRIL 13th, 2006

TODAY'S THOUGHT

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

Mark Twain

TODAY'S ACTION

Grasp every opportunity to offer encouragement to others.

TODAY'S QUOTE

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.

W.H. AUDEN

HAPPY THURSDAY!

We had quite a few thunder showers yesterday. The temps were in the 70’s and things are beginning to look very green here. By next week I should be able to find out if the lawnmower works or not. Spring has finally arrived in Northern Ohio.

Today is the last day of the work week for me. Tomorrow I’ll be heading down to DS#1’s house to spend the weekend. I’ll be sending out my e-mail on Friday Morning, but won’t have one for you on Saturday or Sunday morning. Sunday evening I’ll be home and then I’ll be back to the regular schedule on Monday.

So I’ll be saying – Happy Easter to you all now so I don’t forget.

May God bless you morning noon and night

God keep you in His care

God fill your heart

With faith in Him

And answer every prayer

Have a Blessed Easter

And Havea great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY IS...ERASER DAY

Yes, we all make mistakes, so erasers are good. But, they weren't always called erasers. They were originally called "rubbers" because the tree resin used to make them "rubbed out" marks made by pencils - and they are still called "rubbers" in Great Britain today. The first patent for attaching an eraser to a pencil was issued in 1858, but many pencils are still sold without erasers. None of them are at my house

TODAY'S SMILE

My forgetter's getting better

 But my rememberer is broke.

To you that may seem funny but,

to me, that is no joke.

For when I'm "here" I'm wondering

If I really should be "there."

And, when I try to think it through,

I haven't got a prayer!

Oft times I walk into a room,

Say "what am I here for?"

I wrack my brain, but all in vain;

A zero, is my score.

At times I put something away

Where it is safe, but, Gee!

The person it is safest from Is, generally, me!

When shopping I may see someone,

Say "Hi" and have a chat,

Then, when the person walks away

I ask myself "who's that?"

 Yes, my forgetter's getting better

While my rememberer is broke,

And it's driving me plumb crazy

And that isn't any joke.

TODAY'S REFLECTION

I consider the days of old, I remember the years long ago.

Psalm 77:5

Memories are priceless possessions

That time can never destroy,

For it is in happy remembrance

The heart finds its greatest joy

Helen Steiner Rice

Engrave everyday experiences on your heart and mind as precious and too quickly passing moments in time. Today's happenings are tomorrow's memories
