TRYING TO REFLECT IN A POSITIVE WAY!

Good Morning Foodies! When I sat down to think about what I would write about this week, a great deal of sadness clouded my thoughts. All I could think about was all the great losses our community has suffered in these past few weeks. I realized that with this past weekend of celebrating FATHER’S DAY—it probably was a very rough day for those families. Unless you have personally experienced the losses that these families… are going through, we really have no clue to how it feels. Our community also lost one of our GRAND DAMES OF OPELOUSAS. I was very fortunate to have MRS. IDA BOUDREAUX for the LADIES’ LUNCHEON a few weeks ago. I admired this great lady. This community will miss her dearly.
I can remember a saying in my GRANDPARENT’S HOUSE that went like this:
HAPPY MOMENTS-PRAISE GOD
DIFFICULT MOMENTS-SEEK GOD
QUIET MOMENTS-WORSHIP GOD
PAINFUL MOMENTS-TRUST GOD
EVERY MOMENT-THANK GOD!
That saying would always bring to mind LIFE’S IMPORTANT MOMENTS:
LAUGH-as much as you BREATHE
LIVE-with FREEDOM and LOVE
LOVE-with all your HEART
DREAM-all your greatest DESIRES
SMILE-and the WORLD smiles with you
PLAY-and enjoy the GAME
GIVE-for the joy of GIVING
CHERISH-those that you CARE for!
FAITH, FAMILY AND FRIENDS are the three things that are the FOUNDATION of a HAPPY LIFE—EMBRACE THEM, NURTURE THEM and CELEBRATE THEM!
My thoughts and prayers are with all those wonderful families who are going through a very rough time!
Have a very peaceful and productive weekend!
