Dayle's weekly column offers optimism

O P E N I N G STATEMENT “Pushing Positive Points”: Because we have been hearing so many negative comments, we thought it would be time for us to renew some good old principles, hoping to instill some positive actions. Let us start with the simple idea of keeping an open mind when we hear negative comments.

Yes, everyone has the right to complain, especially if the action in question sounds non-Christian or unbelievable. Another reason to be disgusted is to learn that some political group has done something that will cause undo hardship.

So, remember if you can possibly do it, try to speak positive words and do positive actions when needed!

PROVERBS 15-11: “A word fitly spoken is like addles of gold, in settings of silver.”

DAYLE-VERB: Let us keep natures masterpiece (the family) together in good and hard times.

FUNNY FACT: To be fit as a fiddle, you must first tone down your middle!

NOTABLE QUOTE: “No day is so bad that it can’t be fixed with a nap.” (Carrie Snow)

P R E S I D E N T I A L POINT: “Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.” (John F Kennedy)

WISE WARNING: Remember that life’s big changes rarely give any warning.

SMILE-FILE: Use one to gather jokes or cartoons to help more people smile more – it is healthy to smile.

CLOSING COMMENT: As another positive point to think about, hold yourself to the same high standards that you require of others. But by all means try, your best to practice the golden rule and don’t forget, a couple words of encouragement can make someone’s day! Be loving on Valentine’s Day and every day! P.S. Don’t forget your “furry” friends!
