Leading up to...


I have an assortment of hat and scarf sets. I've collected them for years. I use to keep all my sets together and then one year, little by little my colorful collection dwindled. However rest assured each year I always seem to replenish-although not the main point I'm trying to make, it was and still is always enjoyable to have several winter accessories to look at. The main point being winter or should I say leading up to winter I always get my garbs out and arrange them like so and put them somewhere I can find them to wear. While keeping with my own tradition this year an idea came to mind.

If you find that you have something of a bit of a collection perhaps if you can (depending on the collection) pass one along to your child or someone near your heart or that you are fond of. I believe little legacies start with such acts as that. I remember when my grandmother gave me a cuff bracelet. I still have it and have been wearing it for years since along with others I've collected. I managed to always include a cuff bracelet as part of my wardrobe since the day the gift was passed down. So this year let 2011 be the beginning of something special between you and someone special. It doesn't have to be same gender either (although mines might) but let it be something special that can be worked into the fabric of your relationships from this year on...

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
