The Candle-Lighter Award and the Sunshine Award
Thank you very much to www.living4bliss.wordpress.com for presenting me with the Candle-Lighter Award and the Sunshine Award. I truly appreciate the recognition!
Both of these awards are for a blog or post that is positive and brings light into the world.
I started this “Good News” blog in July 2010 because I was tired of and disgusted by all the negative news and information. I wanted to give people positive news and information. I’m having a great time looking for, receiving, and posting these pieces! Stay tuned!!
RULES for the Candle-Lighter Award
Whenever you see a blog or post you think brightens the world, give the blogger the Candle-Lighter Award.
Recipients can accept or decline. What does the recipient have to do? Simply accept and nothing more! You can paste this image on your blog, if you wish, and you are done! If you wish to honor someone else with a Candle, pass it on, anytime and as many times and to as many people as you wish.
Come on and help me brighten up all our lives!

TODAY’S BLOG
It’s “Funny Friday!” My cousin, Nate Jones, sent me this one. I hope it will add another smile or laugh to the beginning of your weekend.
The Bathtub Test.
During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, “How do you determine
whether or not an older person should be put in a Care Home?”
“Well,” he said, “we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon,
a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub.”
“Oh, I understand,” I said. “A normal person would use the
bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup.”
“No,” he said. “A normal person would pull the plug.”
“Do you want a bed near the window or door?”
