Easter – Jesus Has Risen!

The sun was shining high in the sky for the rebirth of Jesus. Okay, that sounds really religious but I do not usually bring up religion. Its like politics. Just one of those subjects that will cause drama because everyone has their own view and tries to convince people to agree with them. Plus, we all know how I feel about drama. Yuck! But, I am going to explain my views a little bit.

Let me share something. I am not a real religious person. I do not go to church and I am not a person who will tell you God will save you. That does not mean I do not believe in God and Jesus. I am a believer and a proud Catholic but I am not one to hate if you are not. Dislike someone because of their religion? To me that is wrong. So what if they have different religious views. Everyone has differences and that is what makes people unique and special.

You know how most people like one person in their faith the most? Like, a lot of people will pray to one person? I am a Jesus lover. Woot. Go Jesus Go! I dont know why. Maybe its because my favorite musical is Jesus Christ Superstar. I know that whole movie. Hehe. I use to act it out. You must see it if you havent! Oh, also Ted Neeley is Jesus. My Jesus! I mean that is what Jesus looks like in my eyes and he played Jesus in the musical. Surprisingly, if I do pray I do not pray to Jesus. I pray to God. God is who I go to but Jesus symbolizes my faith. By the way, no one can convince me to change my views. So, if you have a desire to try go ahead. Its not going to work on me. I mean I will do another post down the road more into my views and what I believe and what I dont. So, we can discuss it then.

Easter was lovely. My mom and I brought Grandma over for the day. She is doing well which is a blessing. She has her interesting stories but at least she is not hitting people with her walker or trying to escape. We had fresh ravioli for dunch or linner whichever you want to call it. They were yummy and filling. You know what was sweet? Grandma asked to clean the dishes after we ate. Well, she always does but we always say no. I dont think its the best thing for her to stand that long. Plus, the dishes are china and she might drop one accidently. Its moms job to clean the china dishes because if I chipped or dropped one she would kick me out. Hehe. She would not but she might have steam coming out of her ears.

After we dropped off grandma back at the assistant living I took the drivers seat in the car and took mom for a spin. Not literally! But, it was a perfect day to practice driving. Easter Sunday. No stores are open and the streets were pretty empty. The way I like them but hard to get in a busy suburb like this. I was calm and did well. I even passed a bicycler without freaking out. Yay!

So, my Easter Sunday was great. Had great bonding time with family, yummy food and a good driving experience. Three things to make a perfect day. Tomorrow is Monday but I am not complaining. Why? Because I have Spring break tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday so I am happy. Woot! I hope you all had a lovely Easter if you celebrate it. If not I hope you had a great fun filled Sunday.

Christmas Holidays

Christmas In My Ears

A lot of people do not start listening to Christmas music until a few weeks or days before the holiday and stop listening to it when Christmas is over. Not me. I start months before and continue listening to it after Christmas passes. What can I say. I just love Christmas music. The songs are beautiful, upbeat and just tell wonderful stories. I guess it is also because I love Christmas, but I will explain that more in detail when Christmas is right around the corner. There is not many Christmas songs that I do not like but there are certain singers that I just love singing Christmas songs. For example, Josh Groban has a great spiritual voice. My favorite Christmas song he does is Silent Night. Just makes the song so beautiful and touching. One of my top favorite singers, Carrie Underwood does a wonderful version of Do You Hear What I Hear. Her strong voice is perfect for the song. My last one I will share with you is Oh Holy Night sung by Celine Dion. Her beautiful voice just fills the song with emotion. The cd above is a great Christmas album. They do not have the versions of songs I mentioned but it is still a cd i recommend.
Christmas is not too far away so everyone be prepared. It will be here quicker than you know it. My mom and I do not get all Christmas-y until after her birthday which is December 4th. Its our rule. Anyways, it felt like it was coming today because of the chilly here. I was all bundled up in my sweatshirt today. Nice and cozy. I hope you all had a nice Wednesday and do not forget to stay bundled up in the cold weather. Peace
