Good morning Peeps very cold in OZ today wishing all in the HSN Community
a safe and warm day. ✨✨😎

@xango,

I did see the moon last night and it was big and beautiful I can feel it when I stand
on my front porch. I love it. 😘✨🌹

So glad you are feeling a lot better your food sounds delicious. 🌹✨

I may rest a bit this weekend this has been one tough week.

Thank you for your prayers and especially from your family. 🌹

I am enjoying Trivia with Oodiebom tonight real fun game and a nice crowd. 😎🌹

@shoelady60,

I am thrilled your Mammo went well today I know that feeling all too well. ✨
Lady once you get the all clear it is a great feeling. Congrats to you. 🌹

I think the test are one of the most important things women can do for themselves.

Thank you for the prayers for my cousin she is in a private room with her thoughts.
Now she has to bury her husband of 25 years. I said hello to her today she is still
heavily sedated from all the medicine she is on. We will know more as the week moves
forward.

Oz is cold tonight thank you my football team shout-out. ✨🌹So glad the young man
from the ‘burgh is getting better god bless him.

I am doing alright. ✨🌹

Peace Out Peeps have a great evening and stay safe and warm. 😘✨🌹

@oodiebom,

Heidi Daus will be back give it a little time. I don’t speak for her but I am in touch
some of her girls we are among them. 😘😎Oodie I brought so much on the
60% sale I was a bad girl. 💋

I love this. 😎🌹

I did purchase the Heidi Daus “tango dancers.” Could not resist. There are just a handful left. There is movement and also magnificent artistry. However, I could have sworn there were two choices. One in white faces and the other in black. Could be mistaken. Oh well. Would have purchased two. I hope she is planning to return to HSN. I do miss her jubilance. Brings out the best of us when she is on air. Very infectious. SSShh……Don’t tell everyone. I put it on hubby’s credit card……..Oh my……😇😇😃

During Trivia I will be putting the bed frame together and will try it out tonight. This is prior to the new bedding. I will take it apart so I can clean the mattress and the boxspring. I have an appointment with MV Monday afternoon to renew the license.

I love my frames for the new glasses. Well, truth be told, I love the ones I currently have and since they were still in stock ordered the same. Was the easiest pair I have ever purchased. Yeah….That’s over.

This weekend will be the beginning of our busy schedule. Electrician, maybe the roofer, plumber and cleaning freak. Will not head North until the house is back in order. We are looking at next month, weather permitting. Not sure of hubby’s surgery at this point. My heart will be in my mouth on the way home to New England. To say I am scared to death is an understatement.

Well, back to Trivia and the Arcade.

@Sheba

Hello Sheba, have you been able to get some good rest? And how is your mom doing?
I hope you were able to see that beautiful Full Moon.

Today I made some lentils and rice, and had some real food since the 31st. Been just eating a little soup and mostly oatmeal. But not eating like before, just about 1/4 of what I eat before.
I pray for your cousin every night. And ask Saint Anthony to help her, and to help the doctor to find a way the help her.

It’s going to get down to the forties tonight, so I will need to cover my herbs.

See you in Trivia Tonight Sheba. Get some rest this weekend, and take care.

I hope you are feeling better today, so much going on for the first week of the year.😕 Take it slow and easy. The rest will be there tomorrow, and the next day and next day. My heart breaks for your cousin.😥 I am still praying that she will be one strong woman in time.🙏💪

Big sigh of relief – mammogram went well today and no ultrasound like last year.😌👍 Just couldn’t wait to get out of there, you know the feeling. Was so happy I ran and did grocery shopping, which I hate, lol!

Hockey team falling apart, lots of injuries, oh well.🙄 After this weekend it is on to the playoffs for KC. Wishing them all the luck.🤞

Hugs to your house from mine.🤗💗

Vacations

An aware traveler sees each new journey as an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of humanity.

As the technology of travel grows ever more refined, the world grows smaller. Whereas a journey of a hundred miles once took many days, we can now travel across the globe in mere hours. The four corners of the earth are accessible by plane, train, and ship, and there are few pleasures in life as soul-stirring and transformative as travel. In a new land, the simplest of joys can be profound—meditation takes on a new quality because the energy in which we are immersed is unfamiliar. Our sensory experiences are entirely novel. Yet the relative ease with which we can step out of our own culture in order to explore another means that we are ambassadors representing not only our own way of life but also the culture of the traveler. As a conscious citizen of the world, you can add value to the locales you visit while simultaneously broadening your own perspective.

A truly aware traveler sees each new journey as an opportunity to improve international relations, spread goodness, and gain a greater understanding of humanity. To immerse yourself in foreign cultures is to open your mind to fresh ways of being. Your natural curiosity can help you navigate the subtleties that define a culture. While you may not agree with all the traditions or laws of a country, abiding by them demonstrates that you understand and respect their value. Staying centered in another culture is often simply a matter of learning about your destination, being patient with yourself and others, and accepting that people may treat you as an example of your country’s attitudes. New worlds will open to you when you take part in the everyday life of a locale—the reality of a destination is in its markets, its streets, and its people.

Traveling presents a wonderful opportunity to practice being open-minded and grounded. The voyages you make help cultivate a worldwide community in which we as humans can acknowledge and appreciate our differences as much as we recognize and appreciate our similarities. Though you will eventually return home, the positive impression you leave behind will remain as a testament to the respect and amicability that marked your intercultural interactions. ✨✨AMEN!
