Instead of FB saints rambling on so much about what a good word they heard, they should also include something about what they heard. It is fruitless to say that you 'had a time', and just leave it at that. We should talk a little about why we had such a good time. Why not share the info? Wouldn't we want someone else to be blessed also? I feel that we take the peculiar people thing the wrong way. This is why people don't want to be like us. I think that if we talk about the message, then that would hold us accountable for it. I mean, who wants the message thrown back in our face if we don't live up to it? It is human nature to rush to catch someone in their own words that they may have uttered in the past.

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.

I am on my way to work as I am typing this; it's a Tuesday morning during the mid-winter recess. There are no schoolchildren on the rails, so what is the delay? I suppose it's always something, even when we least expect it. We humans tend to get a little lax when we think that all should be going well. Truth is, we should always be on guard, until we are off duty! There is a little snow falling, and I did hear that the #6 train was running express, so that may be a cause of the delay. Well, as long as I get to work safely, that is what matters, yes?

Soup of the Day

2010-02-15T12:29:00.001-05:00

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!!!!

An epiphany

There comes a time when you say, enough! When you reach the point in your life that you realize that your destiny is mostly in your hands. I think I reached that point today. I thought that our mayor would at the very least, allow us to go home early today. But that did not happen. I worked a full day at work, even though there was a blizzard. Other offices in our building, as well as banks and federal buildings, allowed their workers to leave early so as to get home safely. That did not happen with us. I know now that I must leave and become self sufficient. Bloomberg doesn't care about the common man; how could he when he is a billionaire????

One of these days...

2009-04-18T07:04:00.000-04:00

One of these days, I'm going to sit down and figure out this blogger thing. I mean, how hard can it be? Does it have to be complicated? I figure I'll just start, and then figure it out as I go along. If anyone has any tips to give me to get started, I will gladly receive them. What I need is a quick guide, just on the basics; the rest will come later.
