"The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it."

--Kahlil Gibran
I just want to celebrate another day of livin'
I just want to celebrate another day of life
Well, I can't be bothered with sorrow
And I can't be bothered with hate, no, no
I'm using up my time by feeling fine, every day

The morning started with leftover crepes I had made a couple of days ago and enjoying the beauty outside my window of the day just starting. Actually, I got up right when Macy's parade was ending...stayed up a little late.
The afternoon...man,the turkey was super tender and juicy...and with gravy, why in the world did I wait a whole year! Sweet potato casserole was slammin'. Mom did a great first attempt at the dressing and a guest brought a bucketful of brown rice and mushrooms spread out on a huge beautiful silver platter.
Aunt Karen played her piano while I felt like I could easily doze off on her soft and comfy couch.
Baby cousin Jordi was the cutest watching baby Einstein videos on a flat screen 5 times as big as he is.
My wife was sick but still did a bang up job on her makeup and looked the prettiest... however, the Victoria's Secret girls weren't too shabby either, nyuck, nyuck (ha).
Finished the night with a hot ham and cheese roll, green been casserole and hot tea while watching Paul McCartney in New York. Not sure how late I'll be up, but I just might get me one of those baked pears, too.
God bless! I hope that you all had a great day and someone to spend it with. May your holiday season truly be filled with joy and peace on earth!
Love,
Karl

No one person was meant to know everything because then life wouldn't be
worth living. Plus, as humans, our mental capacity couldn't store all of
that info...

Let us give THANKS everyday unto God for each of us has something to celebrate and be thankful for, as we are blessed beyond measure and have so much more than others that are not as fortunate. For instance, one person may complain that they do not have a car and have to walk everywhere they go; Yet to the person whose legs have been amputated or the paraplegic in a wheelchair, how they wish that they had the ability to walk anywhere. We must count our blessings always no matter how small or great, for nothing is guaranteed and having a sense of entitlement to anything is but selfishness and ingratitude.
Keep up the good work, Karl. Bread is outstanding. Thanks... check out the new post on my blog today, if you can stop by.

Thank you Scribe. We are all very blessed in similar as well as different things.
Some of your words reminded me of my friend Herbert...he has one leg and right now is in the hospital with a feeding tube in his stomach. Please keep him in prayer for they have said that it's possible he may lose his other leg in a couple of months.
I have always known his spirit to be very resilient and he has great confidence in God.
