Leaving 2020 Behind With Beautiful Music

Ooo oo, remember when it rained...

I felt the ground and looked up high and called your name...

Ooo oo, remember when it rained...

In the darkness I remain...

Let My Heart Be Still For It is Beautiful Christmas

Slow down. Rest your soul. Let it all go. Be silent. Listen. Let your heart be full for it is beautiful Christmas Day; the day of the birth of our precious Lord. The one and only true gift sent to us from almighty God above through immaculate conception for our salvation from eternal damnation at the inevitable time that our bodies separate from our souls. May God bless you, yours and the dearly departed on this high holy day.

Hope On The Horizon

Let's do what we have to do not to get back to where we were for that is what got us where we are. Let's move forward to a place where we are better than where we were with a new awareness. I never understood why people, in general, did not practice good personal hygiene and businesses, in particular, did not practice safe sanitation practices. Grocery shopping carts are so nasty; a petri dish of bacteria. For years I use to travel by airplane quite frequently and I always carried a mini can of Lysol and a baby bottle of Purell Hand Sanitizer in my purse. Each morning at work I would wipe down the door knob to my office, my computer keyboard, my desk and my telephone hand set. In public, I have always been cautious about frequently touched surfaces and asked people who made me food to use gloves and to change their gloves. At church when it was time to either greet people in the pews or say "peace be with you" with a hand shake, I never extended my hand but rather put my hands together using eye contact and orating "peace" to avoid the vector of the hand to hand contact. I have always kept a safe personal distance from others, when possible, and expected those in close proximity of me to reciprocate. Did people get pissy about my personal practices? Sure they did. Did I give a damn? No I did not. I was keeping myself safe; I was ahead of the times we are now living in. And some of the people who scoffed at my "germaphobia" were suddenly singing my praises. So moving forward, let's do what we have to do to keep ourselves and others safe. I think it is normal to be reasonably skeptical about any COVID-19 vaccine. After all, this is a risk vs. risk decision we are faced with. Do we stay unprotected and risk getting the virus which can be extremely detrimental to our bodies and even deadly? Or, do we get injected with a new vaccine with possible deleterious effects as of yet unknown. The COVID tests, processing labs and makers of the vaccine are, after all, money making machines as a result of this pandemic. That alone makes you leery. And the panic aspect of the pandemic is the fan that fuels the flames. I am, nevertheless, very grateful for the scientists and pharmaceutical companies that have provided us with a lifeline and the option as to whether or not to get vaccinated. So, keep in mind that the mandates that have been imposed on us (i.e., wearing a mask like a muzzled dog that significantly and unhealthily restricts our breathing and the unrealistic expectation of not being around any people in a world full of people) cannot be sustained long term. Let's follow the rules as long as reasonably practicable and let's use some common sense. Aren't you sick of hearing about the "virus" from morning to night day in and day out for so, so long? I am over it. So let's do this. Be well and God bless.

My Love For The Military

My beloved late father Efrain was a sergeant of the military police in the Latin American Armed Forces. My dad was my hero; my everything. As a little girl, I adored him and I believe that is where my love for and interest in the military started.
