I would suppose some feel Sunday is a conclusion to the long week and others feel it is the beginning of the week, either way it is a good day to put all matters of prior days into perspective and reflection. This week has been especially weighty if you will. By that I mean, personal matters that weigh on your heart. And when I find that there's a lot of chatter (human emotions abounding from a trying week) I know myself all too well and it's time to get by myself and be quiet. Not to mention that when you know you are trying to direct your life in positive directions, quiet and spiritual renewal is the compass that anchors your thoughts, and emotions toward being centered. And so, this early morning, while it is the time between dark and light, I seek to carve out tranquil moments just for me to hear from God. Life can get so crazy and chaotic that you have to silence the noise and hear nothing other than the normal sounds of air that come when you are in an open and quiet space. It is in these moments that I hear the trees outside flowing in the wind and a chorus of different, animals and insects, and I'm assured that all’s a go in the so needed time alone. For I've been literally amazed at some of the happenings and mindsets lately, actually, floored would be a better word; and rather than be nostalgic about it all I demand my personal moments of peace to clear the hard drive of my mind so that I can upload the positivity I need to continue the rest of the day and week.

With that I found myself whispering to my inner being,

Make sure that you always add value to your life by reaching outside your normal sphere, spend quality time with others and yourself, and develop yourself spiritually, that you may become the whole of a well-rounded experience, not for any hidden agenda, nor for anyone else but yourself that you may be able to share with others. ~ and this I would definitely share with the graduate

The Day After Christmas

Christmas day was great. I didn't go to bed until the wee hours again and needless to say I was wrapping gifts at 4:30 that morning as the children rose ready to open their presents. It probably would be useless to most to continue wrapping when everyone would open them minutes after but I did so anyway. I like to do it and wrapping gifts is as much a part of the Christmas festivities as decorating the tree. And just as Christmas day was fun so was the day after.  We followed up Christmas dinner with a fish fry and a game of spades. It was great and me and my partner won the game. We had  great time laughing and kidding with each other. We listened to music and sang along. Nothing like those oldies but goodies. We all took part from the oldest to the youngest adding our voices to the music. To outsiders it may have seemed like no big deal but to me it was as much a part of loving each others as was the gift giving. I sat back and thought that's what ...

After Christmas Practical Suggestion

I'm really not an expert in this area but, after going over a few records for a family member, I quickly understand the importance of not just tossing your bank statements around and not viewing them. I saw where they were paying for subscriptions almost three times the normal amount. Having said that, many of you will get those bank statements detailing all the great gifts you have given. But you may want to double check them.  Make sure you haven't been billed twice for the same thing or billed for something you didn't purchase at all. With theft at an all time high, it's not unlikely for this to happen. Remember to keep tabs of your records. Lately I've been taking note of information regarding fraud and identity theft and it seems that the holiday season is a peak time for these unfortunate situations to take place. And familiarizing yourself with what steps to take (hopefully this won't happen) can ease the burden of a  di...

Thoughts for today

Whatever you endeavor to do, let it be yours. Never let anyone try and project their thoughts as yours, their feelings, or their motives. No, let every man reason for himself seeking God to find their perspective. We should never try to attach our needs to someone else except we commune together. And never ask a man, especially a woman to carry the burden for anothers errors lest they be in agreement. This is why I find the precision of these words to be exact. Actions not words are the true criterion for the attachment of friends~George Washington
