Some Thoughts About Service

A Blessed Easter Sunday

I watched a local church service online, and was lovely.

In the meantime, I received news from HSI, Humane Society International, that China has officially discontinued listing dogs as livestock.

I'm not sure how Humane Society would be able to follow-up on that as I don't know if they have a Humane Society in China, if they are receiving news from overseas by email/phone, or if they speak Mandarin.
Who writes or speaks Mandarin?
Of course, one wants it to be true so very much, and the effort is awesome and commendable, but I emailed that very question, how to prove? and haven't as yet heard back.

Also have a new decision.
I was utilizing Mr. Dave Ramsey's technique of budgeting and saving, and I saved up for a car which I bought in January, and don't have anything to save up for anymore..!

So I have to decide whether to save up for a good luscious spa week (one spa week = 10 days),
or visiting Best Friends to volunteer for one week, walk puppies, visit cats, clean, think, hike, it would be wonderful, much cheaper, and very much more rewarding.
Golden Door was a rejuvenating experience that I wouldn't mind repeating, yet would like to avoid California craziness.

I'm a hermit that has to pay the rent.
My gym is closed, delivery business is booming, but is basically sitting in a car, and I'm getting fat-ter. I need to take care of myself again soon...

Route on Hold

Many grocery stores open during day,
and smaller restaurants are allowing in a few people at a time,
usually regulars who are considerate and know the place.
Stay safe and healthy

It Could Be Better, It Could Be Worse, except It's Only Temporary

The Book of Job

Ecclesiastes 9:4

'For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion'.
Does that mean ‘a living dog is better than a dead dog’,
or, ‘a living lion is better than a dead lion’..?
What did they have in mind when it was written?
Everything deserves context I suppose.
It was a reading of the day from my calendar.
If it's positive, may it apply to u and yours.
If it's negative, and the Bible can be pretty rough indeed, may it apply appropriately...

Happy St Patrick's Day this year

Altho the Wuhan virus drove St Patrick's Day out of 2020,
and the St Patrick's Day parade may be cancelled this year,
St Patrick remains in our hearts for next year.

Saint Patrick is the foremost patron saint of Ireland,
but I swear to u that when we visited Ireland, it
wasn't celebrated there like it is here in the U.S.
In Ireland, St Patrick was revered much more seriously
by the Catholic Church for being the first bishop of Ireland.
The populace loved St Patrick for being the one who drove the snakes out of Ireland..!
And indeed, we found nor heard of one snake in Ireland at the time.

Happy Leap Year!

I missed an entire week...

I missed an entire week (to blog),
but I added yet even more work/gigs.
Not only that, but I saved just enuf to add to my candy route.
Truth told, I'd rather sell toy capsules, but these Honor Boxes are the best,
and they work best in restaurants.
U know what? I don't know why I can't add toys..!
Why can't I add toy capsules to the Honor Boxes instead of all candy?

I have already tried sugar free gum and candies, but those cost more than they sell,
so it was back to mints and Blo-pops, which is fine, but toys last forever, what can I say?!
Change some signage that these are toys only.
Done deal...

Happy February Month and Year!

February is a very special month this year.

• There's Super Bowl Sunday. 
• It is a Leap Year because February has 29 days this year instead of 28. 
• Valentine's Day on the 14th. 

February hosts all sorts of holidays amid its duration;

• The entire month celebrates Black History (U.S. and Canada) 
• American Heart Month (U.S.)

Not only those, there are the following holidays; 

• Ice Cream for Breakfast Day - February 1, 2020 (First Saturday in February)
• National Baked Alaska Day - February 1
• National Bird-Feeding Month (U.S.) 

And it's a very purple month.
February's flower is the Violet, and the amethyst is the stone.
My favorite part of February are still the Valentine candy hearts
