2014 - Year in Review

2014 has been an interesting year. There have been numerous ups as well as downs. I am thankful for all that I have been given - the easy and the hard blows. I have been truly blessed. 

I still don't have a car but my feet do not hurt. My house still needs some improvements but I am able to meet my mortgage. I don't have fancy lunches and dinners but I am well fed. I can't and won't complain because opportunities have come my way. I have started my Masters and my children are 'A' students. 

I lost my last great uncle on my father's side and my last great-great aunt on my mother's side. Both were spectacular individuals who truly led their families. My daughter also lost a classmate - a very special little individual who even made an impact on me and many others.

Although the blog entries have dropped, my heart is still in my writing - I'm just focusing on academic writing now. As I journey along, I am open to new ideas, but I will remain true to my values. I still enjoy music very much and I'm into my 80s, 90s and early 2000s , not so much the trending music. New music for me would be music from the Virgin Islands and wider Caribbean and John Legend type music. It really has to be catchy to catch me. 

I still enjoy a good comedy/joke and I enjoy the work that I do. I thank God for his blessings.
