  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's on your mind?

Lol.. I haven't even processed New Years yet..

I like to end the year on the right note. I review my experiences, make adjustments, and plan for the coming year. I do a cleaning blitz so the house is nice and comfy.

Right now the house is full of boxes. I have items to put together, deliveries, and decluttering to do. I have to be on camera for class and I need to setup the area. Plus I have to get my supplies and there may be delays due to the holiday.

I won’t have a break for a long while. The more I can do now the less I’ll have to attend to later. My workload is increasing and I’m trying to get into a special mastermind. I have to hit the financial target to do so.

2021 is going to be busy. I hope things open up. I miss social events. I subscribe to services but its not the same.

My friend told me she thought I’d have another child. Maybe she’s right. Two would be nice. Twins are better.

The thought is appealing. Making the layette and designing the nursery is a definite plus. There’s no reason not to. :whistle:

Absolutely exhausted. 3 days in a row a very little sleep. Tonight I will definitely turn in early. But it's been a good busyness.... Soon it will be Christmas :)

I can't believe I necked a whole large pizza with 5 toppings on it, one of which was chicken...

... actually...

I can believe it...

:satisfied:
I’ve found that anyone can eat a large amount of pizza under the right circumstances. CiCi’s Pizza is probably the one place this happens most.

It’s a buffet, so quantity over quality, though I’m not exactly a food critic. I’m not good at ranking one place’s pizza above another’s. Ive found that I like pizza served from Americanized pizza places (Pizza Hut/Mr. Jim’s) than local or chain Italian restaurants.

My favorite is still Numero Uno Pizza! I haven't had it in too long.

Last of my Christmas cards going out in the mail for my neighbors. They will be late but I'm sure they should appreciate and hopefully 2021 will bring stronger relationships with my neighborhood. Been reflecting back on my 2020 and hoping to find a suitable video app to put my pictures together. This is been one of the best years of my life, even though it's been one of the worst years in the world. Thankful for the blessings that have come this year. Hopefully I could find that quiet place before christmas. Just a little more baking and delivery tomorrow for my aunt and uncle on my way to Christmas Eve service. It will be my first in person service since March.

I'm blown away that my collage of Christmas photos (Indoor and outdoor) won at work for the most votes towards indoor decorations. I didn't even vote for myself. The money goes towards a good benefit, employee benefit fund. For life events of births and deaths that happen amongst our district.

Also the surprising words shared by employees this Christmas season and gift from someone that said I make them smile. She's not a smiley person.

Coffee run for my lunch break. Really needing it today and treated myself to salted caramel nitro. Don't usually get a pricey drink like that. I figured Christmas is coming soon I need to power through my day at work.

Hate this feeling of worry and worthlessness.
You Are Loved

“God is within her, she will not fall.” Psalm 46.5

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.”- John 15:9

You Are Worthy
“The Lord will fight for you; you only need to be still.”- Exodus 14:14

“Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”- Luke 12:6-7

“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you. He will never leave or forsake you. Do not fear or by dismayed.”- Deuteronomy 31:8

You Are Enough

“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”- Zephanian 3:17

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”- Ephesians 2:10

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”- Proverbs 3:5-6

I had a much needed body treatment this morning. The scalp was first. I have a handheld tool that massages it nicely and stimulates circulation. I passed out.

Then we did a treatment for the thighs and feet and I fell asleep again. My steamer arrived and I’ll make a body scrub and use the dry brush and have a steaming session.

I’ll sleep like a baby. :sweetdream:

Finally getting a plan together for some recipes for christmas. I'm excited because a lot of it will be by myself and I can practice recipes of stuff that I want to eat rather than having to think about everyone else. I've never made crepes, so I'm hoping to do some kind of blueberry lemon crepe, Mediterranean omelette and a citrus salad for breakfast. My family has never done Christmas breakfast and I think it would be neat to wake up in the morning and be in my pajamas and have Christmas breakfast. During the day I think I'm going to try a tortellini soup, I've never had tortellini before.

That one woman at work is starting to act up again.. she was cool and chill these last few weeks. Although I know that she was only doing this to see if this tactic would help me draw closer to her. She's starting to see it isn't working and I can tell she's becoming more impatient again.

Sigh.

In other news.. a least Christmas break is coming up.
