Today I got a little shout out from a viewer for my Pozole video. I always like to find out anything I can about the people that send comments to me from youtube so I clicked over to her page to say thanks and I couldn't help but watch her video titled "Ghetto Lady." I found it to be very funny so her it is for your viewing enjoyment. I love the diversty of my viewers. Sounds like something really exciting was going on over there.
Thanks Judy!

Optimism
Clearly there is no explanation for my good mood. Yet, I feel great. I feel like climbing to the top of the highest peak and shouting out to all below... " All is well all is well." No, clearly all is not well but I can't help but think if we all come together and be positive our positivity will rub off on each other and society will become better as a whole.
On the other hand, my husband woke up today and was feeling a bit low. I reminded him of all the blessing our family has and sent him on his way. Then I turned on the news and went about my business. Today all the talk is about the plane crash in NYC. As I have been listening the one thing that stands out to me is the constant talk over and over about how we all needed some good news. People!!! (At the news station) there is good news all around us everyday! Why are you and so many of us blinded by all the bad that we can't see the good. Okay I have to mention to you that I am clearly A.D.D no, I have never been diagnose but there really is no question in my mind so, try hard to keep up with my wondering mind. I then spoke to my husband on the phone he mentioned that he was listening to Glenn Beck on the way to work and he is a changed man. (Well, for the moment.) I think to make a long story short the underlining theme was God never forgets us in our trials. Here is the link to what he said.(http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/20288/ I know this to be true I am no stranger to tough times. My father reminded me once in one of my darkest hours that I was his strongest child and that I could and would overcome. He was right, I did and I have over and over and will continue to. I think the secret is believing in something so much bigger then all of us. That something is God! What a comforting feeling it is to know he is there and he is in charge. I really can't imagine one moment of life without that precious knowledge.
Let's jump topics a little.
So I can't get this lady of my mind. Her name is Yolanda. She attends my church. On Sunday she brought her three year old little guy into Sunday school and sat with him because he was new to that class. I remember so clearly looking up at her while the children were sing and saying to myself " You can't hear them." Wow! Gratitude filled my soul and I began to cry this is just another example of a blessing I tend to overlook. Yolanda is deaf. I then began to reflect on the miracles preformed by the Savior during his ministry. He healed the sick. The blind could see. The deaf could hear. I know one day Yolanda will receive her miracle. I couldn't help but think of how strong her faith is. She knows she will hear again. No, maybe not in this life, but she will hear. I can't imagine living a day without sounds Farihn's whispers, Cesar's Laugh, Secily singing along to her favorite radio Disney song, Aries telling his latest joke and over hearing Avery speaking words of comfort to a friend in need. Wow! I'm crying all over again just writing this. These are things I hear everyday and I can't imagine what it would be like without them. So, not really sure why I feel like writing all of this random stuff. I found this clip on youtube and it made me think about Yolanda so here it is.
Well , I know I'm hard to follow. I sure hope something I wrote made sense. I hope you have a great day! Life is GRRRRRRREAT! If your saying to yourself .... " Pull your head out of your armpit lady." I already checked it's not in there.
Don't worry be happy!

So a viewer sent me this short movie he made and I thought some of you may find this funny. It's very cheesy! Yet, I felt it was worth wasting my time to watch. I think I will see if he and I can get together and make a cooking video, since all you know how much I could clearly use some help with my Spanish pronunciation. Whatever you do don't take me or this video too serious. (I'm not sure what the Avoid Aids book in the background is all about.)
Enjoy!

Enjoy!
