HAPPY NEW YEAR! DECEMBER 31, 2021

 Happy New Year!  How are we going to welcome 2022?  With open arms?  Well, whether we like it or not, it will be here. So, just smile, relax, and leave everything to God. HE is good and merciful.

The year 2021 was a continuation of 2020, a year of chaos, fear, uncertainty and problems. 2021 is not ending in a positive note, many problems especially with rising prices of everything! Name one. Food! How about gas for cars and homes? You got it babe!

It is sad, really sad, what is happening in the world today. Many people, young and old are losing hope. What are we to do? I do not know the answer. Maybe, perhaps, we have to pray more to God for mercy and compassion. Ask for forgiveness and change of hearts of the wicked and evil forces that are roaming the earth. Pray that people will wake up and turn back to God. Pray that there will be peace on earth.

 May God bless and have mercy on us all!

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR January 10, 2021

 Happy New Year!  Should we welcome 2021 with a smile or not? Of course with a smile! Why? We are alive and well with God's grace and mercy!  The year 2020 will be one of the most unforgettable year for all of us. A year full of mishaps, should I say, in regards to almost everything, e.g. health, politics, education, work and other things, here in America and all over the world. 

It was a year of chaos and uncertainty to all, which seems to continue on to 2021. What should we do? I think we all should get down on our knees and pray to God for more mercy and compassion that we will all be able to withstand, endure and be safe. Why not ask for eradication of all problems? Because there are more agnostics, atheists and lukewarm people than faithful Christians! Need I say more? Of course not!

God is good! It is up to the faithful to remain steadfast in their faith, and pray harder. Pray that the good will overcome the wicked and the evil forces that are roaming the earth. Pray that good will triumph over bad. Pray that people will wake up and turn back to God! Is this asking too much? 

If there are more people with God or for God, perhaps, there will be peace on earth. What a sight that will be!

May God bless and have mercy on us all!

HAPPY NEW YEAR JANUARY 4, 2018

2017 is gone! Can you believe that? Time flies indeed! I hope and pray that 2018 will be a better year for all of us, our country and the whole world!

My wishes for 2018? Peace in the whole world! Cessation of abortion in the whole United States and the whole world! That God will truly be back in everybody's life and God will continue to bless our dear country. Religious liberty and freedom will continue in our beloved country.

Let us all count our blessings and give thanks for the gifts of life, faith, family and friends and God’s unconditional love.

May 2018 be a great year to all.....good health, happiness, prosperity, love, hope and peace!

LET'S TALK ABOUT FOOD! JANUARY 6, 2017

Let's talk about food! Why not?  I love food...can you not tell? Never mind, do not answer! Where do I start, or rather when do I start? Today, of course!

Let me start with the honey baked ham that I bought from ... guess what store? Honey Baked Ham store of course!

The honey baked ham was supposed to be for Christmas and New Year. I just bought a "bone in" 1/4 pound because I am the only one that usually eat it.  Why not boneless ham? Because I want to make split pea soup with the bone! Oh...oh...there goes the farts! Hehehehehe...sorry I could not resist. Oh well. Anyway, when I arrived home, I opened the package. It looked soooo good!

The next morning, guess what I had for breakfast? H-O-N-E-Y  B-A-K-E-D  H-A-M!!! It was soooo yummy that I ate a lot. Everyone at home could not resist it either. It was eaten either as is or fried. It was so good that by Christmas there was only very little that was left. Oh well, we totally enjoyed the ham.

Confession...wait...do I need to call a priest? OMG! Please keep quiet.  Sorry, I could not resist. Let me continue....When I bought the ham from the grocery store ($ 10 for 8 pounds) last year, it ended in the freezer for a very long time and it is only me that eats it. Sigh! What a waste!

Conclusion: Although it was expensive, $30.00 for a 1/4 pound, it was well worth it. Money was not wasted. Hip! Hip! Hooray!

Honey baked ham from the Honey Baked Ham store: A+

HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2015

We just have a few hours before 2014 comes to an end, and we usher in 2015, a new year. Everyone all over the world are anticipating the dawning of a new year that will be better than last year. For some..a better job, a better home, and for others, maybe...better finances, reconciliation with others, just to name a few.

What do I hope and pray for 2015? First of all, I hope for PEACE, not only here in the United States , but the whole world. How do we accomplish that? Any suggestions or comments? I believe that everyone should ask God's help by praying. Prayers really help, and if all of us pray, then maybe, God will have mercy and grant us peace.

The next thing I hope for 2015...cessation of abortion here and abroad. I just hope and pray that people will realize that abortion is not a good thing, killing helpless babies.

Another thing I hope for is for the people to go back to God. We eliminated Him from our schools, public places and our lives. See what is going on around us....need I say more? Our country will be a better place if we put Him back in our lives.

There are other things I hope and pray for 2015 for myself, everyone, and the world, but it will be very long that before I know it, we have already welcomed 2015, so I will stop.

What do you hope and pray for 2015?

Wishing all a safe, happy, healthy, prosperous and blessed New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! DECEMBER 31, 2013

Wow! 2013 soon will be a thing of the past. Time flies when you're having fun??? I just hope & pray that 2014 will be a better year for all of us, our country and the whole world!

My wishes for 2014? Peace in the whole world! Cessation of abortion in Michigan, the whole United States and the whole world! That God will be back in everybody's life and God will continue to bless our dear country. Religious liberty & freedom will continue in our beloved country.

Here's wishing everyone a safe, healthy, blessed, prosperous & happy New Year. May God bless all of us!!! Cheers!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

New Year's Eve

Today is the last day of 2010. At 12 midnight, we are going to ring in the New Year..2011! What is in store for us all? Hopefully just good things! Here's hoping that if 2010 was a crappy year, that 2011 will be a better year; if 2010 was a good year, 2011 will be better!

We should all be thankful for all the blessings that God has given to us, and continues to shower us. Hopefully, 2011 will be a miracle year for everyone....economy will be better, those who were unemployed will find something, the homeless will get help and will cease to be on the streets, the housing problem will be better - no more foreclosure, the health system will be better for everyone. Too good to be true? Perhaps. But do you believe in miracles? Miracles do happen, and if there are more people that will pray, maybe God will give His mercy and make it better!

Whether your plans are to have a party, go to a party, drink champagne, sleep, eat or watch the ball fall to ring in the New Year in Times Square, we should not forget to say a littlle prayer for the whole world that there will be peace.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!! May God bless all of us!!!!

A New Year!

A New Year is fast approaching! Woo...hooo...another year will soon bite the dust!!! Have any of you decided on your New Year's resolution...only to be broken???? How many really followed to a T their New Year's resolution??? I see!! What do you see??? Hmmmm....I do not see many hands that are up in the air! Don't we have any determination to follow through and conquer our resolutions??? Are we a bunch of wusps and losers that we cannot even stick to what we have promised to do for the New Year??? Whoa!!! Hold on, that is such a strong word!!! Damn right it is!!! Isn't that the truth?? Are we not guilty?? Come on..tell the truth!!! You got that right!!!

How many have promised not to smoke year after year??? That is different! No, it is not! A resolution is a resolution!!! Not if you did not have that as a resolution! Excuse me....no comment from the peanut gallery please!! Oooopppssss!!!!!

How about those that promised to eat healthy?? That is one resolution that a lot of people are guilty of! For one thing..there are sooo many temptations out there...fast foods, aisle after aisle of junk food in the stores! One other thing, the junk food is sooo yummy!!! Why do the unhealthy food taste better??? What is their secret ingredient??? More fat!!! Is that it??? Comments, anyone??? If you buy the food with less calories...notice how outrageous the sugar content is! If it is not the salt content, it is the sugar content! Ay..ya..yay!!! No wonder there are sooo many obese and sick people out there!!

How about to exercise regularly?? It is easier said than done. It is nice to have a buddy system to go to a fitness center. Why bother going to a fitness center??? Just walk at the mall! Problem with that??? There are soo many temptations at the stores with big letters blazing on the windows," SALE." What do you do? Check inside to see the sale! Pretty soon you forget your main goal at the mall! See...were a bunch of woosies that easily succumb to temptations!!! What can I say??

How about just exercising in the comfort of your home?? You buy an exercise bike or a treadmill. You are gung ho in using it for a couple of months...then your interest dwindles down until the machines just gather dust and forgotten! See...we do not have incentives to continue what we have started! Who is to blame?? None other than yourself!!! Guilty as charged!!! We can't win, can we???

Well, whatever is your New Year's resolution..hopefully it is a good one that you can follow through and stick to...no matter what!!!

Have a great day! May God bless us all!!!
