NEVER TOO BUSY TO CARE

By Vernalee

Many times it seems as if there are never enough hours in the day to complete tasks. Time moves at a rapid pace. We get caught up in our busyness. Despite it all, we have to take a pause. The system can get you so wrapped up that there is little time for anything but you and what you’re doing. Stop! Take a break! Don’t forget the people that you love and who love you. Don’t be so busy that you don’t have time to share with them. You're never to busy to show love, respect, gratitude ... Take the time to do it today! Your tomorrow may be too late!

FELIZ NAVIDAD

By Vernalee

Have you ever been Christmas Caroling? I have! Once! It was my freshman year in college. We had a young Spanish professor, Senor Brooks; Dr. Brooks to be exact! One of our assignments was to sing carols - in Spanish of course! Being that I came from a high school in the Mississippi Delta that didn't offer foreign language, this was a challenging class and task, but I made it through that night as we went from door to door singing our hearts out! It's a treasured memory that I still hold. So in my harmonic voice, I say, “ Feliz Navidad … I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!”

SANTA BABY

By Vernalee

Have you been naughty or nice? What do you want Santa to bring you? You‘ve heard that phrase many times I'm sure. Well the legendary Eartha Kitt answered that very question in 1953. Despite its controversy, "Santa Baby" became the best selling Christmas song that year! Alright then …"Hurry down that chimney Santa."
