TODAY’S QUOTE
I got the blues thinking of the future, so I left off and made some marmalade. It is amazing how it cheers one up to shred oranges and scrub the floor
D.H.Lawrence
HAPPY MONDAY !!
I won’t be scrubbing floors today, but I will be at work! Some days I wonder why, but then I realize I do like the extra money so if I work I can continue to do things like the camping that I enjoy.
The job is a blessing that I am thankful for and so I continue to work and then to keep my self in balance I go to the campsite on the weekends and rest.
It is a cool start to the day here but it should warm up to the mid 70’s they say.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY IS…CHERRY POPCICLE DAY
There's nothing like a popscicle on a hot summer day. Flavored "ices" were being made almost as soon as people had ice. They chipped off small pieces, added syrup and served it in a bowl with a spoon. The next step was adding the sticks, and... the rest is history

TODAY’S SMILE
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three strands of hair on her head Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today?' So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two strands of hair on her head. 'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today?' So she did and she had a grand day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one strand of hair on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail.' So she did and she had a fun, fun day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single strand of hair on her head. 'YEAH!' she exclaimed, 'I don't have to fix my hair today!'
Attitude is everything. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass . . . It's about learning to dance in the rain!!!

TODAY’S REFLECTION
But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God.
Jude 1:20-21
My faith acts as a silent prayer that never ceases. It is a vibrant understanding that forms the foundation of my life, growing stronger every day as I use it and practice it. Faith is my inner knowing that the spirit of God is with me at all times, expressing divine qualities through me.
If a difficulty erupts with others, I am not intimidated by the appearance of disharmony or limitation. I act on a spiritual perception of what is true. I give expression to my faith in the power of God to create good out of all circumstances. And if I feel a dream is mine to claim, even if it may appear to be impractical, my faith enlivens my imagination to see the unlimited potential that is present.
My faith sustains and uplifts me through all experiences in life http://www.dailyword.com
