My Life and Times

Well the Christmas holidays have been good. I have been able to relax and almost vegetate and get back to strength. I guess as you age you wear or at least tend to wear out faster and need more of a recharging than before.
 We attended Christmas Day Mass and at the end the little children [...]

Good Morning! While having my morning cup I came across this heart warming story about Father Benedict from EWTN. I always watch his show as I love the intelligence he shows and how kindly he is as a person. You can read this great story here.

Good Morning and Merry Christmas Everyone!
 Last night was truly wonderful as we celebrated Christmas Eve. First over to the mother in-laws for dinner and some gift exchange and then we came home to exchange our gifts here. This is a tradition in Hungary and I believe many European countries and again I have to thank [...]

Good Morning everyone. I am off from work today and do not go back until the new year. I managed to get the 27th and 28th off also. I think I need the break as I have been working 55-65 hour weeks and I am exhausted.
 Now the lunacy will start the part of Christmas that [...]

TIME [...]

 I was quite amazed going around to different blogs as to how many people wrote about St. Nicholas this past week. Also about the tradition he has on December 6 of bringing goodies for the children who were good.
 Growing up I was never really privileged to have St. Nicholas visit even though my parents were [...]

 So another week. Time really flies when you are having fun? Yes question mark after fun. I am currently wrestling with a lot of personal demons in regards to my work place. I know if Christmas was not coming what I would have done at work! Needless to say I have been praying a lot and hoping [...]

 So I continue on. After my first foray into the hospital and with a bit of difficulty and some male bravado about being a tough guy who can handle anything I was released from the hospital with an appointment to be back the following Wednesday for a follow up and to get my stitches out. [...]
