Items For The Jar

I read a suggestion to put slips of paper in a jar when good things happen and then review them at the end of the year. I haven't found a jar big enough yet because I've got high hopes that I'll be maxed out and more when it comes to blessings this year. Why just waking up is a reason to celebrate. So yesterday we started the New Year on our knees at Greater Grace World Outreach. Then after sleeping in, we had a leisurely day at home and a wonderful visit from my friend, Shirley who is in town from Central Florida for a few days. I miss her so much and the visit was golden. It was just like old times. Today Lloyd got some good news from his doctor. He can continue to stay off the diabetes meds for now. His numbers are good and he just needs to continue with watching his diet, getting some exercise, and monitoring his glucose levels once a day. So there are 2 slips in my virtual jar. And I'm a happy camper. Go ahead. Google "Good things jar" and you'll be amazed at the number of hits.

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 can pretty well ignore Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like but Facebook is my constant itch that I have to keep scratching. I came to the realization that I primarily use Facebook to feed my desire for approbation.  Don't we all want to be admired and respected?  Don't we often want to be right, to have a forum where others are agreeing with our brilliance?  LOL I'm guilty. 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...

Baseball Thoughts on a Winter Day

I can't stop thinking about baseball. I'm happy for the moment (winter and all) but it would be so nice if it were a hot August night and we were watching the O's at Camden Yards. So I made this video today. It's some O's game footage from personal photography, misc. photos (amateur baseball players), and scans of much of my Orioles memorabilia from the early eighties. I hope you enjoy it.

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
