ANOTHER MONTH COMING TO A CLOSE!

Good Morning Foodies!

As you can see, we are on the back end of this month already. Within the next few weeks, I will try to cram in as much as I can featuring the JAZZ FEST IN NEW ORLEANS, FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL IN LAFAYETTE, ALL THOSE LOCAL FESTIVALS LIKE THE CRAWFISH FESTIVAL IN BREAUX BRIDGE, CINCO DE MAYO, KENTUCKY DERBY, WEDDINGS, GRADUATIONS, FIRST COMMUNIONS AND CONFIRMATIONS, MOTHER’S DAY, AND MEMORIAL DAY—WHEW—-THIS IS JUST THE BUSIEST TIME OF THE YEAR FOR ME!
I really try to put the brakes on and enjoy each event as they come. Sometimes my perfectionism gets in the way but I have this sign that helps keep me focused:
“LAUGH WHEN YOU CAN, APOLOGIZE WHEN YOU SHOULD, LET GO OF WHAT YOU CAN’T CHANGE, KISS SLOWLY, FORGIVE QUICKLY, PLAY HARD, TAKE CHANCES, GIVE EVERYTHING AND HAVE NO REGRETS—–LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE ANYTHING BUT HAPPY!”

My new daily prayer is, “Dear Lord, so far today, I am doing alright. I have not whined, complained, been grumpy, nasty or selfish. I haven’t eaten any chocolate, yet……
But, I am going to get out of bed in one minute and I might need a lot more help!”
As I was always told, growing up, “LIFE IS LIKE RIDING A BICYCLE. IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR BALANCE, YOU MUST KEEP MOVING!” So, I will do my best!

NOTE: The Senior Angel Yearly Card Game is next Wednesday, May 1st at Queen of Angels Church Hall. It is such a wonderful gathering where everyone gets some fabulous food and drink while playing their favorite card game. Hope to see some of you there!

Have a safe and productive weekend!
