New Year's Resolution to Lose Weight

1/1/2024

​I'm an ex-smoker, and now I'm addicted to chocolate. For the new year, I've made a resolution to eat more vegetables and to exercise more. At 72, I want to become healthier. My cholesterol was super high, and now it's borderline high. People know I've been walking around a lot. I know being addicted to chocolate is better than being addicted to nicotine.

Having a Merry Christmas Every Day!

​I actually kept my Christmas trees in my living room all year during 2023! These two trees brightened my days for the whole year. Why should people hide things in the basement or attic that brighten their days?

I am so thankful for my cataract surgery, which resulted in brighter colors and my noticing how this world is so beautiful. I am also thankful for my family, pets, friends, and job at CCRI. I'm the writing center coordinator and an adjunct faculty member who often teaches writing. Plus, being the author of eight books is really neat. I love to read, write, and help others to read and write. I am so thankful for my life in this beautiful world of ours.

I love my freedom to eat what I want to eat, like chocolate items. I also like my freedom to go where I want to go and to rest where I want to rest. I love to look out my windows and see birds, etc. I also love to watch my TV. I guess I'm like a cat in some ways. Cats love their freedom to look at fireworks, but hate the sound of fireworks.

Easter is a Time for Love

I still have my Christmas trees up in my living room. I love to think about the birth of Jesus Christ, and at Easter, I think about his love from heaven. Here is a poem I wrote to celebrate this year's Easter called "Easter is a Time for Love":

​Easter is my favorite holiday
because of Jesus having a new life
in a heavenly eternity to stay
in a happy place while overseeing earth’s strife.
 
I love the eternal love of Jesus Christ,
the Holy Spirit, and God high in the sky.
Jesus Christ his own loving life sacrificed
to help many sinners when their bodies die.
 
I’m like a sheep following a Shepherd great
who helps me lots from His position above                         
to find my way through mazes to freedom’s gate
while receiving His eternity of love.
 
I love to celebrate heavenly love
with family, friends, and the three above.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to continue to do what I have been doing to lose some more weight and to stay healthy. I'll still be eating a lot of vegetables and trying to exercise more. I love to eat salad and vegetables. Then I can continue to eat chocolate and other dessert items. I also do things like shovel snow and mow my own lawn for some exercise. In some ways, it's nice to have a small yard and driveway.

Merry Christmas 2022

Merry Christmas! I haven't put up a Christmas tree in years because one of my cats used to climb up into the branches. This year, I put up a cat-safe tree, which is an artificial tree without ornaments. It's also standing between two bookcases, so my current three cats cannot easily climb into its branches. I keep turning the lights on and may want to keep the tree up all year because I love it so much. Why should I hide something I love in the basement or attic?

I'm so thankful for my current life, including my family, friends, and pets. I'm also thankful for my current job and for the many accrued vacation days that I had this last summer, so I could write and have published another book of poetry: Paw Learning Mazes. I'm also thankful for the many learning processes that I've used in my life and for being able to help others to learn how to write, read, study, and think logically.

I love the Easter eggs on the cover design of Holidays Amaze. I also like the bright yellow color. The poem about an Easter egg hunt for Sunday School children in this book is interesting in the way the children reference parts of the bible. There's a nice narrative poem "Sticking Together on Easter" on pages 21-28 of Holidays Amaze; the children and adults in this poem are doing an outdoor Easter egg hunt near a pond. Here's one of the stanzas from page 22 of Holidays Amaze:
     The youngest child showed a picture on his sock:
     Jesus was helping Peter to water-walk;
     the child then pulled from his bag a book to show
     the hands of Jesus working miracles aglow:
     many acts of feeding, healing, and helping,
     such as saving the scared Peter from drowning.

Christmas with Cats and Family

My cats are very helpful with different Christmas items, especially on Christmas Day. This photo was taken more than four years ago. The cat on the right side of the tree is now in heaven. The one on the left side is less than ten years old and very healthy. He sometimes even acts like a kitten. These two cats used to act like a brother and a sister. At Christmas time, I love to meet with my pets, family members, and their pets.
