What A Difference An Electric Mattress Pad Makes

I admit this posting is a bit out of the ordinary. If you know me well, you already know I am ALWAYS cold (even in the heat of summer I rarely get warm)! During the winter months my hands are frigid, my feet are freezing, and the tip of my nose is cold to the touch. Fortunately each night I am enveloped in warmth as I snuggle under the covers in my bed. Who ever invented electric mattress pads should be honored with the Nobel Prize.

I am thankful for inventors who persist, actually "making" something useful from creative thoughts within those wonderful ingenious minds!

OK, so the Nobel Peace Prize is usually given for much more worthy reasons. For you history buffs the 2006 prize was given to Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank for their efforts to create economic and social develpment. In 2005 the prize was awarded jointly to the International Atomic Energy Agency and Mohamed ElBaradei for their efforts to prevent nuclear energy from being used for military purposes and to ensure that nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is used in the safest possible way.

What A Difference A Visit With Santa Makes

I recently had the opportunity to visit the North Pole and personally meet with Santa. What a wonderful experience this was! Let me tell you that Santa really is a very generous, jolly man. I whispered a little christmas "wish" in his ear. This isn't like a birthday wish, so I can share my wish with all of you and it should still come true. I wished for good health, and the gift of moments of solitude. This time of year reminds me to reflect on the gift God gave us, Jesus. I look forward to celebrating his birthday in a few days... I can hardly wait!

What a Difference "GIRLS" make!

December is always a hectic month for me; working 2 jobs and trying to have a social life is absolutely INSANE. I did take an evening off to enjoy the Girl Choir performance at Lawrence Chapel. What a wonderful event to relax at. Here are some of the "girls" who gathered for a photo opportunity.

Thank Heaven for Little Girls...

What a Difference "Daylight" Makes

My primary care physician recently diagnosed me with "Seasonal Affective Disorder", more often referred to as S.A.D. I've always dreaded the winter months, not just the cold weather but the lack of light. So, it was not really a surprise when I heard the diagnosis. Working for a healthcare organization gives me wonderful reference resources to learn about this disorder.

I feel better already





I am thankful for the gifts of SUNSHINE and DAYLIGHT.
