| Butterflies "Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864), USA |
It is Tuesday, December 23rd exactly 6:35PM. I’m sure that everyone is getting prepared for the holiday festivities, waiting on the infamous fictitious Santa Claus to grant them with the presents they’ve wished to receive this year. Many of us are fortunate to have the fictitious Santa and many of us do not. Of course, I’m sitting here typing with my delicious cup of eggnog coffee, feeling a bit delighted just to live another day. I’m not the holiday type, although I do wish everyone a safe holiday and prosperous new year because I really do mean that. Most people I may not hear from until next year and some I possibly will. I’ve decided to take a break away from Dark Mantis Talk show and work on my books to be released for the upcoming year as well as spending time with my family. 2008 has been a very interesting year for me and I’m definitely looking for 2009 to be a lot better. My plans are to make 2009 better no matter what it takes. This is my coffee blog and of course I do with a cup of Java. And if you think you can do better, email me with your blog. If you don’t like my blogs, let me know. One person emailed me and stated that they couldn’t get with the coffee blog and that’s fine with me. Just because I’m blogging doesn’t mean you have to like it, but on the other hand I love it. So much for that, I hope that you will periodically check with my coffee blog, and I promise it will be more interesting after the holidays. I’m a bit misty due to circumstances that have taken place in my life recently, but I’m trying to maintain. If you believe in prayer, pray for me and my family and if you don’t just wish me happy trails. Until the next time, this was my cofffee blog. Jeanette Michelle |

Christianity Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor. Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding. Proverb 23.4, 20-21, 23 |
Buddhism Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it... Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. But when, after observation and analysis, you find anything that agrees with reason, and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. Anguttara-nikaya, Kalama Sutra |
