Boxing Day

Having a typical Boxing Day breakfast - Christmas Day leftovers!  Love it! 


My favourite sorrel
Laying the plate with Canalons a la Barcelonesa and remnants of roast chicken, from my lunch with the neighbours, also  sorrel & cornmeal encrusted ham with health bread (you remember, the sweetbread in which I forgot to put in the sugar!), cold sorrel drink and hot Kenyan tea! 
As I look at that plate, my mind goes to all my friends who try as they might could not make Christmas merry.  Whether the spirit could not be lifted due to the loss of a child or due to a child who seems lost.  Illness of the mind or the body kept them far from that good day or no money in the pocket to buy the things to which they have grown accustomed.  Fear not, there will be more seasons where you can celebrate!  The good days will come and there will be more than the bad.  That is what I believe and  I have taken as my decision.  It will not be bad forever.   I pray.  

 Are there people who touch your life and who need your prayers and support to survive this beautiful season?  Reach out how you can.
Have a good day all!

 Until,

Happiness

Taken from Trinidad Guardian, March 2013  Here is the ad I mentioned in a previous writing.  Hope you can read it (take our the magnifying glass, if you can't).  For me, the advertising firm, Ross Advertising can win the Happiness Award!   I started  internet searching  using the word, happiness,  about 4 years ago  when I was at a low ebb and  boy can you ever find variations on a theme!   Some are seeking to build a better society, while others point to individual happiness. What we perceive as happiness is as varied as all other things God has made. It's interesting, this thing happiness, that we all seek and it seems it comes through the incremental things we do.  For some people it is found in hard work or having money in the bank, the smell of a baby, your pet coming to greet you, standing on a podium giving a speech,liming with the boys, the smell that comes out of the hot earth as the rain beats down, the delight in a...

Why I Bother?

Someone one keeps on asking me,  with irritation in here voice, words to the effect, " why do you bother?  Why do you feel you have to change the world?"  She asked me this months ago and I could not respond.  I know my conscious intent isn't to change the world.  I do know that whatever knowledge I have I want to impart .  I do know I want to make this country, Trinidad and Tobago better.  As a matter of fact any country in which I live, I want to give to the fullest.   Early one Sunday morning my response formed and I preferred not to answer my friend directly rather,  to ease my mind, I wrote my answer on Facebook.  Now, I re-print here. _________________________________________________ I talk with everybody. I talk with people on the bus - the older woman who tells me that she has only visited the U.S. once and it sure doesn't touch TnT, the young man whose eyes warm when he speaks of his daughter of 2 years.
