At times I'm so discouraged
with problems of the day
I fail to see the joyful things
that are along the way
When troubles overwhelm me
It's then my nerves may fray
that's when I need to take the time
To simply sit and pray
Reflecting on God's many gifts
It makes me so aware
Of all the joy in little
things around me everywhere!
I must try to remember
though problems come my way
not to miss the joyful things
and the beauty of the day.

GOOD MORNING !
Driving east on my way home from work yesterday I had the sun at my back and nothing but black snow clouds directly in front of me. It made a very beautiful sight. A flock of seagulls were in the sky and were glittering away like twinkling stars as their white wings reflected the sunshine.
That was definitely a GIFT to see. We get seagulls in land here as they like to see what the farmer’s fields might have to offer in the way of food. As far as I know they don’t migrate south like a lot of birds do and stay here year round. I’ve often seen them huddled together on the black top of a parking lot on a winter’s day.
We are supposed to get a little more snow today than we’ve had so far this week. However they say southern Ohio will get more than we will. That is unusal, but it just depends on which way the wind blows.
It’s Wednesday ! ‘Over the Hump Day ‘ Now we are on the down hill slide into the weekend. Hopefully the little bit of snow we get won’t make sliding an issue on the roads today.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I'm glad I understand that while language is a gift,
listening is a responsibility.

On my way to my daughter's house yesterday, I saw a pair of seagulls flying overhead. They don't usually come this close inland...reminds me of Jonathon Livingston Seagull. I live in Southern California so it's not that unusual to see the gulls inland. I enjoy reading your journal...From my heart to yours with peace, love and blessings...

I hope if you do get that snow it doesn't cause you any problems. It is overcast and quiet here this morning and foggy in the flooded areas I hear on the news. Those people can't cut a break. I now hear it's supposed to get cold and maybe snow next week, and we still have one baby waiting to be born. I love your entries they kind of center me for the day. Joni
Prayer is so important, isn't it? Sounds like that was a beautiful sight. God's little creatures. He has given us so much beauty. Wishing you a wonderful day filled with lots of blessings, Janie :-)
We have so many gifts if we take time to thik about them ,Hope you dont get to much snow ,keep warm ...love Jan xx
You guys that live up that way must be sooo prepared for the snow. Well I guess you have to be. DUH!!! LOL When it snows down south here.......everything comes to a screeching halt!!!! Of course, we don't get much snow down here.
