Resolutions Schmezalutions

Every year I make them, and every year I break them. So, this year no resolutions!

 Instead I’ll just keep trying to….. 

  get rid of my menopause middle,  and

  I will continue to express positive optimism.

  I will continue to try and worry less.

  I will continue to try and write more.

  I will continue to try and wear more shoes with laces instead  of my slip ons or clogs.

  I will continue to greet each new day with gratitude.

  I will continue to limit my cups of tea to three.

  I will continue to use, instead of look at, my elliptical machine.

  I will always work at creating the best blogs, shops and websites I can.

  I will continue to do the things that make me smile

  I will continue to extend my hand in friendship to all who will receive it.

So, I resolve, to not make any resolutions, what about you?………

A Spiritual Blog

The recent Easter celebration of our Lord’s resurrection sparked the idea for this post. I hope you had a wonderful celebration of renewal and rebirth.

I have always considered myself to be a very spiritual person. I speak to God through prayer every day; I believe I am always close to God no matter where I am. I don’t have to be sitting in a pew at a specific place of worship to communicate with our Heavenly Father. I do not follow the “traditional” church every week ritual. I do believe there is a great deal of value in the fellowship of group worship. But, I think you can be spiritual without being religious. (I bet this blog will get some comments).

Is it really necessary for me to put a specific church “label” on my beliefs? I live my life in gratitude. I find my blessings in the everyday things, and I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I see miracles every day. I experience the joys and love of others and my life is enriched because of it. I accept life’s challenges with the true belief that God’s love will strengthen and guide me. I rejoice in the global experience of friendship and love, and I believe that most people are good. I believe there are angels on earth and that forgiveness, love, and kindness are a direct result of the love God places in each of us through faith.

Free will allows us the opportunity to be the best person that we can be, and to love, be loved, and make positive decisions to live our best lives. I am honored by your friendship and participation and I wish you happiness, always.

Thanksgiving

One of my favorite holidays is Thanksgiving.

The simple definition of Thanksgiving is: “The fourth Thursday of November, observed as a legal holiday in the United States to commemorate the feast held at Plymouth in 1621 by the Pilgrim colonists and members of the Wampanoag people and marked by the giving of thanks to God for harvest and health.

The second Monday of October, celebrated in Canada by the giving of thanks to God for harvest and health.”

My definition is: "A day filled with expressions of gratitude shared with family and friends. Preparing and then indulging in a feast that sends you to the couch for a nap immediately after eating. A day filled with Laughter, making Memories and Prayer. A sincere day of THANKS! "

Retailers seem to start the holiday season at Halloween and jump to Christmas with hardly a mention of Thanksgiving. Is it the forgotten holiday? I hope not. I hope in a sense we celebrate a day of thanks every day. But, I don’t want to loose the traditional day of thanks. For me, my friends and family I hold tight to Thanksgiving.

I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with only good things and good food.
