Savoring the Blessings of 2014

Now that Christmas 2014 has come and said farewell, let's not forget all of the melancholy, peace on earth, goodwill towards men and the act of helping someone in need, which resonated as the holiday season began, start to fade away. Let us remain vigilant in avoiding the default switch that sends us back into the mode of short-term memory, where gratitude, goodwill and peace should be celebrated every single day of the year.

No doubt this has been a year of challenges, tragedies and victories for many people. With the New Year less than a week away, I learned to refrain from saying "I can't wait until the New Year begins." While there were lamentations we faced during our 2014 trek, there are still reasons for celebrating the burst of blessings along the way. All too often we focus so much on the perils that inflict our lives and do not savor the many blessings that should elevate our humble gratitude.

It is my wish, that we savor 2014 for the remaining days, minutes and hours left in this year. May we remember the days gone, but not be entrapped into complacency. Reflecting on the events of 2014, the people we lost, the children who were born, the achievements we made, the toxicity we exterminated, the unhealthy relationships we let go and the baggage we choose not to carry like a ball and chain into 2015, be the wind that elevates us to new heights of greatness. We cannot appreciate and anticipate wonderful things happening for the upcoming year, if we do not examine where we are and where we've been.

Cheers, Peace and Blessings!

Celebrating National Cotton Candy Day

Today is National Cotton Candy Day. This sweet, sugar spun, airy treat is typically found at fairs, festivals and the circus. The soft, fluffy texture simply melts in your mouth. Although this delightful treat is a favorite during the summertime, this day is celebrated on December 7. Cotton candy was introduced by William Morrison and John C. Wharton at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. Tootsie Roll of Canada LTD however, claimed that it was the first to introduce cotton candy at the 1893 World Fair.

Go ahead and get sugar-wasted today with some of that fluffy, melt in your mouth sugary concoction.

Happy National Cotton Candy Day!
