Winter

Good morning dear friends! Are you tired of winter yet? Don't be, because we can't do anything about it...... i hope your days are warm and happy indoors, even outdoors if you need to go out. Enjoy this pictures of parikeets at the National Aviary. They are Edward parikeets (the ones in a group of 3) and they always stick together. The others have another name which i forgot, but notice how different their feather colors are.




Thought you'd like to see me shoveling on my birthday week LOL.
May God bless us all ... stay warm!

Another New Beginning


Yesterday, Mama and I went to Holy Mass at Old St. Patrick's Parish at the Strip District. Over there, they have a replica of the steps Jesus was dragged on as He was led before Pilate. It's called The Holy Stairs. One can go up these steps only by kneeling, and on each of the 28 steps, meditate on Jesus' sufferings.

Yes I did it, yes it hurt, yes I prayed for many things. But what really caught my attention was the difference of the Holy Mass that was held there that day. And so I feel it would be good for me to go here weekly, it would be my weekly 'retreat.'
