A POSITIVE THOUGHT TODAY

                     On this chilly mourning here in Charlotte NC ; it's 37 degrees and raining . I made made my self the Best breakfast for a cold mourning , Cream of Wheat . I remember living at home as a youth during those cold Michigan winters my Mom would send us of to school with a breakfast such as this . It was much desired and welcomed .
                 We would head out the door bundled up , with the two or three foot deep snow and at times deeper . We lived out in the country so you know when the wind blew there was not much to slow it down . I remember those days fondly .
                  The days we would spend at home the weather did not slow us down . We still went doors to play and work . We would come in after hours outside doing our thing . Ma would have tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches waiting on us . A welcome meal after being out in the cold .                I remember as a Boy Scout we would go out on our winter camping trips . There would be plenty of snow on the ground , we always kept a large pot of soup and hot chocolate on the fire . Our best and most memorable camping trip were those that we had bad weather on ; be it rain storms or snowy weather . Just the idea of making through them was the adventure .
               Today I just wanted to write about some thing positive this mourning . There is so much negativity in the news and that surrounds us in our daily lives . Turn on the television to the news channels or just step out of the house and it will not take long to run to so people doing nothing but complaining .
                  There is some thing positive  a bowl of hot soup or hot chocolate it just warms the soul and brings a smile to your face . Nothing gives the same feeling of love that Mom use to give you when she meets you at the door with a cup of hot soup .
                 Well there is my positive thought of the day . So go ahead have that hot cereal or hot chocolate and feel the love .
