Appreciate your Blessings

Good Evening, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

It has been a full day, non stop! Since we got up til now! Had a lot of bittidz issues to attend to both this morning and this afternoon; was home for a short bittid, and then had an appointment for 4:00 pm. On our drive home, we saw a magnificent rainbow! What a tidbitz treat to welcome us home! We were fortunate that it had been a beautiful day, when we were 'out and about'; however, now the skies have turned dark, as well as strong winds and a deluge of rain. A tidbit good night to stay home, methinks!

After our 4:00 appointment, we had a bit of shopping to do; which included also, going to the Liquor Store to pick up a bottle of red wine (South African, 'Two Oceans'), to enjoy a glass with our dinner. I noticed that there were 'Gift Cards'! I immediately thought that with all the 'stuff' going on around the world, this was an enticing way of marketing 'Liquor'! Plus, if you wish to give your host and / or hostess a bottle of 'something', a Gift Card is a good suggestion; as it would be their choice. A lot of retailers are also providing the same service of issuing 'Gift Cards'; and with Christmas around the corner, this makes prudent sense!

Yesterday afternoon found us doing a tid of outdoor gardening fall / winter 'clean up'. We washed down our tables and chairs, covered them, as well as placing some other seat cushions under the protective eves. Alan was able to also clip most of the plants; and the trimmings are now in our compost.

We also went to Costco today, as well as to our favourite Produce Farm, which closes for the season, on Nov 2nd and reopens in April. We are appreciative that our larder is now full again!

Tidbit - 'Waste not, want not!' This message was what my Mum always told me; and it is true; particularly, when there are so many starving people around the globe. Today more so, than ever! The wastage of foods (ie from restaurants etc) is incredible; and apparently, because of 'health standards', whatever food is not eaten, is automatically thrown away. Methinks perhaps, the portions should be smaller; and if someone desires more, they can order a side order. It would also be a cost effective measure for the restaurants! Alan and I have decided that whatever food / leftovers we do not consume (but is still 'safe' to eat), and what we do not store / stock up in our freezer, we will give to the 'street people'.

Bittid - 'Keep your cool' and concentrate on what matters to you most, and do the best you can. Preserve what is most meaningful, and be CALMLY CONFIDENT that He will Provide! We have 'cut back' because of the global financial crunch; however, we are that much more reflective and appreciative of our Blessings. 'Praise Him In ALL Things'.

Good Night and God Bless.
