Take A Pulse

Wow, it’s the 11th of January 2012 already, and as usual, another year is speeding along. Well, may the Lord God, who created the heavens and the earth, continue to show us His mercies.

Usually, when a new year begins, many of us take the opportunity to make some positive changes in our lives. Yes, we may decide to stop smoking and drinking. We may decide to lose weight, go to church, read a bit more, and the list goes on.

Did you make any resolutions, and if so, how are they coming along? Are you on target, or have you fallen behind? Are you frustrated with your progress, or are you happy with it?

It can be challenging to begin a resolution on the 1st of January because we are so busy enjoying the day that before we know it, the day is over, and we are a day behind in our resolutions. Have you ever noticed this?

Additionally, we may find ourselves with goals that suddenly seem impossible to reach. For example, as readers, we may decide to read thirty-one books in thirty-one days, but up to this point, we are accustomed to reading five books in one month.

Well, if we find ourselves in a situation like this, now would be a good time to stop and go over our plans, and if we find that we are demanding the impossible from ourselves, it would be best to take some short steps, but not too small, to reach our goals in 2012.

Andorra – A Shared Country

Andorra is sandwiched between France and Spain, and it is co-governed by the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell, who is in Spain.  Although Andorra has accommodations for a few helicopters, there are no airports here.  In fact, its closest airports are in France and Spain.  Therefore, those desiring to visit this country must travel through France or Spain and then travel by land, to get here. Perhaps due to sharing governmental powers, this country also shares the postal system.  France’s post boxes in this country are yellow, while Spain’s are red. 

Recommendation: Family Time Food

For quite some time now, it has been suggested that family members are not spending time together at the dinner table. One of the reasons for this is the busy schedule of family members. Consequently, there is not enough time to prepare anything to eat. Therefore, instead of cooking meals at home, it is ordered from a restaurant. The following books contain quick and easy to prepare meals and desserts/snacks that the entire family will enjoy. After trying a recipe or two, let me know how it went.                                                                                   ...
