Remember to be gentle with yourself and others.
We are all children of chance and none can say
why some fields will blossom while others lay
brown beneath the August sun.
Care for those around you. Look past your differences.
Their dreams are no less than yours,
their choices no more easily made.
And give, give in any way you can, of whatever you posses.
To give is to love. To withhold is to wither.
Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared
and your life will have meaning
and your heart will have peace.

GOOD MORNING !
I’m not familiar with the Authors in either of the quotes today, but I felt their words were worth sharing. We often forget about what others may be going through when we are having a rough time.
None of us can know what is really in a person’s heart. Being gentle and kind never hurts no matter the situation And as you will read in the Thought for Today - lifting my heart to heaven is something I do everyday.
Today is the end of the work week for me. The piles on the desk will once again be cleared away and order restored in the office. Next week will be another short 4 day week and for that I’m truly thankful.
It is THANKFUL THURSDAY so I will make my list for you all to see and thank our dear Lord for all His many blessings.
I’m thankful that today will be a cooler one.
I’m thankful for the good health of my family and myself
I’m thankful for Holiday weekends
I’m thankful for friends and family to have celebrations with.
I’m thankful for my job
And I’m most thankful for all of you !
Thought For Today
Refuse to fall down.
If you cannot refuse to fall down,
refuse to stay down.
If you cannot refuse to stay down,
lift your heart toward heaven,
and like a hungry beggar,
ask that it be filled, and it will be filled.
You may be pushed down.
You may be kept from rising.
But no one can keep you from
lifting your heart toward heaven...

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

I miss the subtitle telling me how far in we are to the year lol how funny such a little thing. great entry on how we handle daily things
I try to be patient with people who behave out of character in a negative way thinking that there must be something going on in their life that is hurting or upsetting them. Well, got to get ready for work. I know I'll be working late today because I'm off work tomorrow and next week and my boss is in panic mode. Guess I should be flattered. Oh, well!! Have a great day!

I'm thankful we finally got some rain today with lightening and thunder too....
Enjoy your four days off!!!!
Linda :)
I think everyone has bad times and some worse than others. Helps to have someone encourage you. Those are beautiful quotes. Have a wonderful week. Blessings, Janie
You got to love those 4 day weeks, I remember how that was. You really are a special person, and I hope you have the best weekend. Joni
