MIA but Working on it

It's been quite some time since I sat down to put "pen to paper" so to speak. But I will do my best to post more often. Truth is I doubt many people read this blog, but I want to be able to capture a lot of my important, significant, memorable or funny life events. With that said, the next post arrives in 3...2...

An Ever-Evolving Bucket List

Image
I have a Bucket List. Some think that's morbid, others think I should call it a "to-do" list. Regardless, I have and am identifying those things which I want to do before I "kick the bucket", however long from now that is. What have I checked so far? A Cruise! - I wanted to do this for so many years, and I got the opportunity in 2013. I did all of 7 days touring the Eastern Caribbean (St Marteen/St Martin; St Thomas and St John, USVI; and the Bahamas). I did it solo (wasn't my first choice but a friend backed out), and it was so worth it. Going to Broadway! I've always been fascinated by Broadway...actors live on stage giving top-class performances. So in 2012, I went to see Mary Poppins! It was pretty cool. No regrets...worth every bit of the almost US$90 I paid for the ticket (and that was a discounted price). Flying 1st Class! My curiosity was piqued from a young age about the diff...

Vegetarian Pizza...Sort of

Image
I've been on a journey to eat healthier for well over a year now. I was not eating enough fruits and vegetables and oft got ill (flu mostly). Multi-vitamin consumption was haphazard. I decided that life could not continue like that, and thus began a turn-around. It started with a relatively cheap smoothie blender (from Amazon.com). Since I found it difficult to eat fruits (not entirely sure why), I thought - why not drink them? I started with bananas and milk, then added papaya, and now I'm experimenting with various fruits and vegetables. In keeping with my healthy theme, I later tried to prepare foods that are somewhat tasty but good for my arteries. I should add that a new stove (since Sept last year) was a booster of epic proportions (maybe an exaggeration, but hey). I find vegetarian dishes better in many instances. Today, that was particularly the case. I decided to try a veggie pizza. It was partly to appease a conscience which is recovering from some Christmas food ...

A Year of...

2013 was The Year of Faith . 2014...the very same. Any regrets? No. Was it successful? To some degree. Faith is built only when there is something to test it, and things there were! Do I have more growing and learning to do? Absolutely! I had several moments of unbelief (and will likely have several more), but that's the growing part. So what next? 2015 has been designated The Year of Seeking the Kingdom (Matt 6:33). I saw it on a wall somewhere and the concept was reinforced in several different ways. So having done some research, I finally have a better idea of what it means...at least for me and the year ahead. He rules! This is not so easy I've learnt. For one, I sometimes have difficulty distinguishing my voice from His. Further, I admit I don't always want to go where I THINK He wants me to. So this year I will make an even greater effort to listen to His voice and follow directions. Peace! Some things money can't buy, peace of mind included. I have se...
