It would be pretty easy for the mob to whack me. My routine is pretty simple and doesn’t take me too far off my warn path across the western suburbs of Chicagoland.
I’m pretty comfortable with the schedule I keep during this period in my life. Maybe I will look back at this era of single parenthood someday and find satisfaction in my contentment?
Maybe I’ll rearrange the furniture in the living room or move my bed to a different wall today?
I have taken a slightly different route to work recently and I’ve added a new concoction to my mornings. I’ve been drinking turmeric, ginger and cayenne with lemon water. It is supposed to change my overall wellbeing.
I’ll let you know as it becomes more of my routine, if my wellbeing has improved.
I woke up to a dusting of snow this morning. It’s going to be a wintry postcard feeling when I take my walk down the DesPlaines.
Today is January 6th. For me it is the Feast of the Epiphany. It is the day the Three Kings finally came across the baby Jesus. We mark this day by taking down the reds and greens and golds of Christmas and replace them with the green, gold and purple of Carnival season. Purple symbolizes Justice. Green symbolizes Faith and Gold represents Power.
“Laissez les bons temps rouler!”
It’s Mardi Gras season and time to let the good times roll. That is what January 6th is for me. It will never be a political day to be ashamed of or to celebrate.
For me…..
Three Gentile Kings found a Jewish baby in a manger. They stopped and gave the future king some gold, frankincense and myrrh. Then they helped the babies parents take the Christmas lights down from the barn they were staying in.
The baby and his parents went on and made history. The three kings continued their travels until they ended up in New Orleans. They found lodging on Bourbon Street and looked for a bar that served hurricanes and shrimp po-boys.
Enjoy the first Saturday of 2024. I’m going to change it up a little today and take the kids to different hotdog stand.
Don’t get snow in your underwear if you go make a snow angel…..
