Wow…  I got thru 2014, now let’s see about 2015.  When I was younger, on new years eve I would stay up until midnight.   Now I just go to bed early and when midnight strikes, I say, “YIPPE!” Then I go back to bed…lol.  I like parties, but I also like my sleep.  Maybe next year, I will go to bed early the night before, then take a nap in the day & be ready to party at midnight.  I wonder how many other people, go to bed early on new years eve.

My mom who is 68 years old, still stays up to midnight, to ring in the new year.  Even if she is home, sharing a quiet evening with her husband.  Then when midnight strikes, she grabs her pots and pans, then she starts banging away, waking up the neighborhood.  She also yells, “Happy New Year” to see if anyone will yell it back.  She lives in a country setting without many neighbors, I guess the only noise she might hear is the dogs howling back.

As for any new year resolutions, those are always really hard for me to make. I mean I make resolutions all the time, but sticking to them is another story.  I guess, the only resolution I would make, is to do my very best to eat healthy and keep an active lifestyle.  That’s probably the best resolution that I can make for myself.  I hope the new year brings happiness, as well as good health to myself.  I wish to blog as much as I can and learn the fundamentals of WordPress.

So, I hope everyone one has a fantastic new year and all their wishes for the new year comes through…

Happy New Year  everyone 🙂

Well, today is the last day of 2014.  For some it was a happy year, for others not so happy.  I thank my friends and family for their love and support.  I thank WordPress, for letting me use their site to create my first blog.  I look forward to learning all I can from WordPress, in my hopes to be a success.

Thank you to the new followers, who decided my blog was worth following.  I hope you enjoy yourself, as you follow me, on my blog journey.  This past year was an okay one.  It wasn’t too bad.  All my family and friends are doing well, as can be expected.  This year gave me a chance to rethink my dreams and inspirations. 

A time to reflect on past experiences, as well as present ones.  I hope to ride on new adventures, that are promising and fulfilling.  If things don’t work out so well, I hope I can learn from my mistakes and not be afraid to try new ones.  I hope to learn from my fellow bloggers, their passion that keeps them blogging.

So as we say goodbye to 2014, I wish everyone happiness, good health and prosperity in 2015.

I hope you all have a bright and safe New Years Eve.  Goodnight…zzzzzz

Today is cold and windy.  I mean its windy enough, where if someone put a string on you, you would be their kite. Trees are rocking, leaves are blowing and the chill can freeze you, in your path.  I went out to the shopping center, to buy some goodies for New Years Eve.  I noticed  many people out and about.  It reminded me of Christmas shoppers.

On a sad note, I noticed there seems to be more homeless people, outside of the shopping center. I felt sad, thinking how cold it was outside and wondering if they had a place to stay.  As I hurried into the store one man asked, if I could buy him something to eat, as he shivered.  I hurried into the store, saying to the man, “sorry not today.” I didn’t really listen to him, when I passed him.  Now that I have grabbed my cart, I instantly feel bad.  I reach into my purse to grab a dollar, then I walk back outside.

I see him still standing there, so I hand him the dollar.  I ask him, “what do you need?”  He says, he is hungry. I don’t say anything, I just walk away.  Now I feel bad again…  What is he going to buy to eat, that cost a dollar?  As I continue with my shopping, I decide I will get him a drink & burger from McDonald’s.  That will be better, than the dollar I gave to him.  After I am done with my shopping, I go to McDonald’s to put my order in.

As I am walking outside, I realize I didn’t buy him anything!  I bought food for my family, but not him!  Okay… I know, I will give him my drink and a chicken sandwich.  Wait a minute, then that leaves two jalapeño burgers, that aren’t even mine!  I don’t like them anyway, that’s why I bought a chicken sandwich for myself, in the first place.  I know… I will give him a jalapeno burger, but maybe he dosent like jalapeño’s!

By now my head is hurting… I should of bought him a $5.00 gift card, at McDonalds. I finally get outside and I can’t find him.  Then I take my cart and look for him at  the other exit.  I still don’t see him.  I get in the car  with my friend and ask him, “have you seen a slender Hispanic man?”  He looks at me and says, there are a lot of people here and probably a lot of people with that description. I say, maybe he is at Safeway next door.

So now we drive over to Safeway.  As we are driving I say, “if I see him I am going to grab that soda I just gave you and your burger.  Oh… And that ski jacket I gave you earlier, I need that too, because he looked cold.

As I look through WordPress, I glance at the freshly pressed blogs.  It reminds me of a freshly squeezed glass of orange juice.  You never know how it will taste.  It could be bitter, sweet, too much pulp, etc…  There are all kinds of blogs, from every topic one could imagine.  There are happy blogs, sad blogs, picture blogs, cooking blogs, interesting blogs and uninteresting blogs…  At least for me, it might be uninteresting, but that’s okay.

The thing they all have in common, is people from all over the world are putting their thoughts and feelings down, for us to read.  When we read a blog, it gives us an opportunity to see into someone elses mind.  To learn a little bit about someone, who’s ideas we might find enjoyable or not.  A chance for us to get to know someone, without actually meeting them.  Sounds a little weird.

We tend to say, I know that person, even though we haven’t meet them in person, but we read their blog.  You might say to someone, “I know him or her.”  If you have a facebook page, you may have 500 friends, but are they really your friends…?  I have a Facebook page and even though I don’t know, everyone on my page, I still consider them to be my Facebook friends.

Its a new age and time, where blogging has become an important part of ones life.  As I scroll through the freshly pressed blogs, I look to see who,  I would like to be friends with… Maybe the storyteller, or the fairy tale writer…  Or the lady who still wants her children, to believe in Santa Claus…  Maybe all of them.

Is it that time already?  I am laying down, tired as can be… I imagine the white rabbit say, “you’re late, you’re late.”. As he is pointing to his wrist watch.  It’s time to go, time to go to Mothers house.  Her house will still  undoubtley, smell like Christmas.  All of a sudden, the telephone rings and it’s… Mom.

Her voice in a hurry tone, tells me she is running late.  What a surprise, so am I.  She is baking all kinds of treats, to take to her husband family, as they are still celebrating Christmas.  I say, “don’t worry, I will be there soon.”  Or will I…?  Yes, I will be there.  Sometimes, we do things out of the goodness of our heart, other times we do not.

Today, is the day I go to mothers house and I am truly delighted.  Even though Christmas was exhausting, I can see her Christmas tree, with a little life left, knowing soon it will be time to go.  Another year is almost gone.     What’s that noise I hear…?  The white rabbit is back. Yes, I know I am late, but I am leaving in a minute… 😉

Things have been better this year.  My friends, who are expericing life difficulties, are still around.  As I wonder what is in store for the new year, I cringe slightly wondering, what the new year will bring.  I  can only hope good cheer for all, peace & wellness.

Since this is my first blog, I hope you will be patient with me, as I travel the blog road.  Any suggestions, are welcomed.  Do I have writers block, maybe…  I keep imagining those blackbirds from the Dumbo movie, singing away… Not sure what there singing though.

The holidays are almost over, but as soon as we know it, they will be back.  Running around for this and that has been exhausting.  On the plus side, I have discovered the world of Deco Mesh!  I made a Christmas tree for my mom out of deco mesh and lights.  Turned out, pretty, pretty good, if I don’t say so myself.

Well, if anyone out there is reading this…  I wish you happy dreams and a good night.
