A Blessed Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

12/22/2013

I wish you all a blessed Merry Christmas and a wonderful Happy New Year. This is the time of year we all hope to be with our loved ones. Christmas to me symbolizes the things we should do in our everyday lives. Showing love , respect, caring, helping and giving to each other without expecting something in return. I love everything about Christmas , baking , making gifts, sharing time with my family. Things I am not crazy about are driving in the snow the cold weather . Oh and the usual weight gain (love those sweets) This year I am fortunate to be able to see a new addition to our family. My nephew has become a recent father of a beautiful baby girl.We will travel to the coast to visit with them and when we come back we will spend time with my sisters . mother and nephew and nieces. I am truly blessed.  I hope that you are all fortunate to be able to spend time with your loved ones this Christmas and to be healthy , wealthy and wise.I wish you all a Blessed Christmas and a Successful New Year for 2014.

#34 years

So today was our 34 wedding anniversary... wow seems so long ago that I was a young bride. Couples were married much younger then. It was not uncommon to be married at 20 , kids in the 2nd year. Now , well its just different. I can t imagine my daughter married at 21 , seems too young. So whats different ? Wasn't I young? Things just are...are they better , is it better choices, getting established first. These are all good reasons to put things off and be choosier in finding a mate. Are people too choosy , the older you get them more you like things done your own way. Its one of those things that there is no right or wrong answer.For me, I was ready . We worked through the tough times , our own personal struggles. But we also kinda grew up together , after all we were 21 and 23.There was lots of laughter and our family s had the same type of values.To accept each other for our imperfections and always be able to laugh., these things are important. So would i do it differently..............no ,the years have flown by. I do wish that sometimes I could go back just for a day , maybe to feel young and silly. But maybe not, I can feel older(not that old) and silly. I love every thing about my life all the experiences have brought me where I am today. And yes I still love the old fart .. I hope we make another 34 years.  <3

Make the world a better place.....HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

 A great man died. Nelson Mandela experienced more than i could ever imagine. He was a strong man with much conviction , with a goal and a sense of justice . Growing up as an immigrants  daughter I experience some prejudice. I still remember being teased that I could speak English well or that we didn't own our house.That was nothing , but it did stay with me. I try to be non judgmental, try to be a understanding person.I believe in pay it forward , I greet , pay complements and I hope spreads. We live in a world that is not perfect . If we all strive to be better individuals ,we get a  little closer to a perfect world

Blogging?

Ok, Everyone, I'm trying my hand at this blogging thing ...and believe me this is all new to me, but what the heck give a try right...right? Its not always easy ,, got the dog wanting my attention , the cat rubbing himself against the computer ,,having to go back to fix the typos because of all this animal attention. \The dishes wait for me to be washed . You know I really should be doing 101 other things that need to be done so close to Christmas. But ya know ,, I can t bake the cookies or fruit cake that I am supposed to be doing because I am waiting for my Watkins Vanilla to arrive . I guess that s a good excuse for the baking. O, I am getting good at typing :) and I guess I should go do the dishes ,,,,,,,,,,,,
