This is the Hubbard Glacier; I was on the Carnival Spirit in May 2009 when i saw this sight in the morning, right outside of my private balcony!

Yay me!

I won't complain! So far things are going well; I'm paying trips off this week, and mom just told me about another cruise in 2011!!! On the Oasis, no less! We'll see about that. I pray all goes well, and I will be able to go.
I'm learning to focus more on the blessings that I have already instead of on the things that I don't have yet. Whenever I dwell on things that I want that I don't have yet, it makes me mad and anxious. I don't want to feel like that anymore. It's so much better to be thankful for what I already have!

The Window Through Which We Look

The Window Through Which We Look

A young couple moved into a new neighborhood
The next morning while they were eating breakfast,
The young woman saw her neighbor hanging the wash outside.
'That laundry is not very clean,' she said.
'She doesn't know how to wash correctly.
Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.'

Her husband looked on, but remained silent.

Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry,
The young woman would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:

'Look, she has learned how to wash correctly.
I wonder who taught her this.'

The husband said, 'I got up early this morning and
Cleaned our windows.'

And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others
depends on the window through which we look.

Soup of the Day

I don't know why I keep thinking about this soup, but it was soooo good. It's borscht, and I had it at Teresa's on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights, NY. It's their Monday Soup of the day, and I guess i just was so pleasantly surprised that it tasted so good, i just can't get it out of my mind!!!! Yummmm!!!!
