GOOD MORNING !

I hope those ABC’s didn’t make you feel like you were back in school this morning. When I read them I thought it would be a good way to remember the important things our hearts have or will yet learn.

It is TGIF day and I’m so ready for the weekend. More snow is supposed to be on the way today. Saturday the sun is supposed to shine so that is good even though it will still be very cold.

Sunday it is supposed to rain. Hopefully that will be after the President’s Day shopping DD and I will do. We’ll see…

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

We may not always realize that everything we do, affects not only our lives, but touches others too.

A single happy smile can always brighten up the day, for anyone who happens to be passing by your way.

And a little bit of thoughtfulness that shows someone you care, creates a ray of sunshine for both of you to share.

Yes, every time you offer someone a helping hand, every time you show a friend you understand.

Every time you have a kind and gentle word to give, you help someone to find beauty in this precious life we live.

For happiness brings happiness and loving ways bring love, and giving is the treasure, that contentment is made of.
