Wednesday’s Words

"We live in a unique time in the world’s history. We are blessed with so very much. And yet it is sometimes difficult to view the problems and permissiveness around us and not become discouraged. I have found that, rather than dwelling on the negative, if we will take a step back and consider the blessings in our lives, including seemingly small, sometimes overlooked blessings, we can find greater happiness."

~~President Thomas S. Monson

Proverbs 2:10

"When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;"

Lasday’s List

So here I am.  It’s Lasday!  And my list goes like this:

• Best birthday weekend ever!  Thankful for all the fun gifts I received.
• I love my new recliner!  Now I’m matchy matchy four square with Mr. Man!!
• Saturday night attended the PBR; love that tradition.
• Its crab season….Yes!!!!
• Disappointed in the 49’ers.  Poop!
• I have a dog who needs dental work; I could have a $700.00 bill, bigger poop;
• They pull the teeth; they don’t fill them!
• My daffodil's are poking their heads up despite the cold weather.
• I’m on my 4th new Mini iPad; it is a love hate relationship.  More love than hate but highly annoying.
• Love a nice tax return.
• The beard is on its way back, I’ve missed it so.
• I would love to sleep through the night and not have to get up to use the bathroom….such a small request or maybe sleep is overrated!!

Friday to Lasday

Bear with me.  I love D2’s “Monday’s Musings” posts.  Love. Love. Love them. And I believe imitation is the purest form of flattery.  But I wanted a day of the week that started with the letter “L” so I could have a “list day” because I love lists.  Then I wondered how did the days get their names.  That’s just how my brain works.  So I turned to my trusty how and why book; the internet where all things written are true and correct. Right?  Well here is what I learned:
Sunday is named for the Sun
Monday is named for the Moon
Tuesday is named for Tiu, Tyr, or Tiwa, who was a Germanic god
Wednesday is named for Woden, Odin, or Wotan which are the names of a Nordic/Germanic god
Thursday is named for Thor, Donar, or Thunor, also a Nordic/Germanic god
Friday is named for Frigg or Freia who was a Nordic goddess
Saturday is named for Saturn, who was a Roman god
All very interesting but this is my blog.  So I’m changing things up.  I’m done with Friday it’s overrated; I’m calling that day Lastday Lasday.  After all Friday is the “last day” of the work week so why not.  Stay tuned……

1 Samuel 2:3

"Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed."
