It is freezing...

The Chicago region is bracing for a frigid weekend, with temperatures predicted to plummet below zero for the first time in nearly a year. We're going to get hit really hard. An advisory issued by the National Weather Service warns of wind chills reaching minus 20 degrees between midnight Friday and noon Saturday. That should be interesting, I'm already wearing socks and 'chapels' on my hardwood floors since it seems like the cold is creeping in. As our wedding anniversary approaches...frigid weekends like these are at times welcomed by Tincy and I. My thoughts always lead me to think of "worst case scenarios" and I shudder to think that any time the city experiences multiple days of extreme weather it can cause additional health risks for the sick, elderly and people with disabilities. Lord please protect them one and all. Graciously hear us, O Lord, when we call upon You,and grant unto our supplications a calm atmosphere, that we, who are justly afflicted for our sins, may, by Your protecting mercy, experience pardon.

Allow your own inner light to guide you...

There comes a time when you must stand alone. You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams. You must be willing to make sacrifices. You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved. Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged. There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities. Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better. Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by. Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life. Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

Food and success...hmm..

Do you believe that part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.
