Are You @ Peace right now?
Spending my spare time here in CS land made me feel @home like family.We might at times or all the time argue because we are different from one another but in the end of the day I would
show up and be like....
Forgiveness must be a major part of family relationship, because we know more about those we love and they know about us and those buttons can be pushed sometimes too easily, taking our frustration or anger over situations in life or other circumstances out on those we love instead of dealing with the issues more productively and controlling our words and actions.
Our loved ones are a blessing in our lives and if we do say or do hurtful things we need to apologize and make every effort to avoid doing the same thing in the future. As an apology without change in behavior doesn’t mean much.
Colossians 3:13
" Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
Our families are a blessing or meant to be in our lives, and as humans we often fail ourselves and others, but as long as we recognize and make amends, the one thing about family is most will readily forgive, because of the love and bond families are blessed with.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones, and may this verse provide you with support and encouragement during those stressful times.
This verse is a good one to remember during those times we are tempted to say hurtful things to those we love or to anyone.
Psalm 141:3
"Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips" (same as you type")
"MY Peace I Give UNTO YOU ITS A PeacE THAT WORLD CannotT GIVE"

So there is this lady I know
who has a job, but it doesn't pay much. A night job, from 6 at night till 2 in the morning. What we call suckie hours.
The man she lives with also has a job, a better job, with daylight hours and 3 times the money.
The have been together for 5 years. They began in his parents house, living in the basement, then in an apartment, now he has leased a house, and his parents talk of marriage and she thinks of it.
Not too long ago she noticed her man's facebook page no longer says 'in a relationship' and he has some new female FB friends she doesn't know.
Loke any couple they have up days and down days. He likes her cooking, but leaves his socks on the floor. The usual stuff.
Her car died two months ago. She had enough money for a new used car, but thought that if she could get him to co-sign a loan, she could put half the money down and still have some money so she could buy some things for the house. She was a little hurt when he simply refused. Gave her a spiel about learning financial responsibility and not wanting to tie up his money yet. She thought about the times when his salary didn't cover enough for the apartment and furniture so she picked up the payments on the furniture and bought the food too, but she said nothing. Instead she took all of her money and bought a new used car. She has no more money, but at least she has a reliable car.
This is Christmas week. She got a line of credit at a store and bought a big screen television for him. She has been hiding it at work and was planning on bringing it home tonight.
Yesterday morning he told her he was going to the gym, which he has been doing every morning for years. This time she decided to surprise him with a brunch after his workout. So she went to the gym to get him. He wasn't there. Worse the clerk told her he hasn't been there all week.
So she goes home puzzled. She thinks also she may be coming down with the flu. Last week he had the flu and lay in bed all day. She nursed him as best she could, but she had to go to work. This week he announced he felt better and was going to the gym again. He has said so every day this week.
He comes home a few hours later freshly showered and tells her he had a really good workout and played some basketball too. She is both stunned and hurt, but says nothing.
Later, they argue. Something silly about how much hot water the washing machine uses. A normal argument or discussion in any household, but last night it took an ugly turn.
He tells her as she is getting ready for work, this isn't working out, I think you should move out.
And there it sits. The dream is being smashed in front of her and she has no clue why.

Another Mini-Mijo On The Way!!
We Latin Americans love our family. And the love that I have for my children and Grand-children says it all.
Any minute, or maybe even second, I will be a Gramp for the 4th time. My son Brandon and his gorgeous wife, Tonia, will be having their second son. Hence, my title.
Mijo is a shortened name for "mi hijo" which means "my son". I have always called Brandon "Mijo". When his son, Leo, was born I then named Leo Mini-mijo. So now that I have another one coming any moment I have christened Leo "Mini-mijo I" and the new grandson "Mini-mijo II". Hee Hee!
I am so proud of my son. He has become a real good man. I am equally proud of his wife. They love each other so much and Leo is the apple of their eye. Now they have "2 apples of their eyes"!! Hee Hee!
I will be venturing back to Ontario (CA) to see them next month. It will be good to see my kids once again.
In anticipation of all the well wishing I say thanks. I have been using the library computers and one will not be available until next Tuesday because of the weekend and Martin Luther King's birthday celebration!
When I get back I will acknowledge everyone!!

Memories for Christmas
I'm a bit of a gypsy, and have moved I think 22 times since I was born - when I bought my current little house, which is quite an ugly little house, I thought oh well, it will be fine for a year or two. Thirteen years later ... I got home from work today to find a big box on the doorstep. Wait until Christmas to open it? Aye, that'll be right!
This ugly little house is now crammed with memories. I brought favourite stuff with me when I moved to the UK, inherited more when my father died, then when my mother did, things from my childhood that I had loved. My daughter's room is like a time warp of her life, unnerving for visitors perhaps but she loves it when she comes to stay. Changes and improvements for my comfort have been made by people who cared about my happiness. It isn't even that ugly any more - some bits are now downright pretty. And the big box contained a fire to dress up the lounge.
Love it. and so does the dog
Memories can be happy or sad. I choose happy.

Children are priceless...
I've watched this many years ago and this always make my 10 year old son laugh...the sound of it is priceless.
Life...and how we make it.
Every now and then we're reminded of our humble fragility, like when we feel that falling down the abyss to nothingness is the only choice we have.
It's so empowering to know, there's One out there I put my faith on and truly makes me realize my insignificance. Saving me when I feel so hopeless, which doesn't happen very often.
And despite of all the evils in this world, it's still a BEATIFUL and meaningful life.
I'm so feeling grateful after reading Non's blog.
It makes me realize, our lives is how we make it.
Please feel free to unload your down moments and comments if interested.

Theybies
Slugs and snails and puppy dog tails - 
Sugar and spice and all things nice -
On one hand, I've never believed girls should be dressed in pretty little dresses, given dolls and housekeeping toys, or that little boys should only wear tuff clothes and play with cars and never ever cry.
On the other hand - theybies can be quite extreme. Kids who are raised so neutrally that friends, family, even the kids themselves, aren't told whether they are boys or girls. Of course it isn't a taboo, "we don't speak of these things", it is just to avoid gender stereotypes bombarding them from the day they were assigned pink or blue booties in the lottery of life. It's a growing trend, with a LOT of critics.
Wish you'd been a theybie? Or raised a theybie? Or good grief this is political correctness gone mad!

Happiness
Not many pictures as of now to post. Exhausted. Relieved. One down, three more to go.
Three sisters and a friend. The bride and her maids.
Hindu bride in her first saree.
Hair.
Second saree presented by the groom along with a gold necklace called Thali. The red dot on her forehead and the necklace are the symbols of a married woman.
I didn't know what was happening and what anything meant. I just did what I was asked to do. It was a brand new experience with another religion.
I asked my other daughters not to marry a Hindu nor go with any rituals. I can not handle those. One was more than enough.
But never say never. I am a mother. I will do anything for them if that is what they want.
Giving away the bride.
