Happy Easter Christmas!

I'm working on this poem.  It needs a little polishing. The thought of Easter was on my mind much of yesterday afternoon when a song I heard on my iPod triggered my thinking.

Easter Christmas
by Linda Sargent
It's Christmas and some  say live in the moment
But my mind must jump to the spring
For although it's December, I have to remember
That Easter is what makes me sing
See, Christmas is a wonderful time
But it means so much more to my heart
To know that His rising means I'm realizing
That Christmas was just the start
So at Christmas time I remember this truth
That Christ came to set me free
That babe in the manger is no little stranger
He's the one who died for me

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast.  Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone.

I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol.  As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...

A Good Week for Geezers

The 75 year old Joan Rivers was crowned the new Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday. On The Biggest Loser show, Helen (who was constantly bemoaning her age vs. the younger people she was competing with) won the whole enchilada. She had lost a total of 140 pounds. And Jerry, who is 64 years old, won the $100K prize for losing almost 48 percent of his body weight. Even the Aussie who was on the show from Australia's Biggest Loser was 57 (my age incidentally). Does this give me hope or add pressure? I'm not so sure. But I'm just happy to know that it's not all about the twenty or thirty somethings.

Just a few more memories

There were a few photos that I didn't post on the entry about our trip to Boca Raton.  I'm sure I have a bunch more in various places. I figure we gained 7 pounds, 700 friends, 7,000 memories and 7,000,000 photographs. Video from Awards Night
