Week 27 Incentive: Give Back

 Afternoon everyone! How's it going?

Well, can you believe that it is the final week of 2020? Have you decided on your new year's resolutions, yet?

We'll get into that later on in the week, today we are here for the week 27 incentive. And this one is fitting, especially for the holidays are still upon us.

This week's Incentive is to "Give Back." 

Such as, donating your time or energy to something you care about. Here are a few ways to get yourself involved:

1. Volunteer through Work
2. Move to Give
3. Go Back to School
4. Get Out of Town
5. Go with Passion

This is a final chance to make difference this year and start a new one for the next.

You all take care and be safe.

Keep the spirits up and do your best to stay healthy.

Merry Christmas (Yuletide Blessings)!!

Merry Christmas and Blessed Yuletide!

How is everyone doing this day? Hopefully enjoying wonderful moments with family and creating or passing down traditions.

But, no matter how we all look at it, in the end, we almost celebrate the same thing, it's just done differently in many perspectives.

Yule has been around for centuries. It's a celebration of new beginnings and always started upon the Winter Solstice.  It lasts for eleven days of feasting, exchanging gifts, and celebrating with loved ones; and the dates vary each year. This year it started on December 21st and will end upon the New Year, January 1st. In ancient times, it's the celebration of the death and rebirth of the Sun God, sot its the longest day of the year. My Beloved and I were married on the Winter Solstice back in 2017, to signify our own new beginning.

Christmas is a day Christians celebrate with family in remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ. The gift exchange is that of the gifts from the wise men. It's a time for charity, thoughtfulness, and to be with loved ones. 

Even so, I hope you all have a blessed day. And I also pray and send blessings to those who cannot be with their loved ones this year.

Please be safe when traveling, stay healthy, and take care.

Many blessings to you all.

Three Years Strong!! Happy Anniversary!

 Blessed Solstice Everyone!

Wedding Day 2017

Hope you all are ready, for the holidays are fully upon us and only four days away till Christmas!

But, to me, that doesn't matter. Today is more important to me than Christmas.

Today is our, my Beloved Husband, Gerardo, and my third wedding anniversary.

Amazing, it's been three years already! Where has the time gone? Of course, this year been insane with the pandemic and we all were distracted on how to keep safe and healthy.

This year we kept things simple. Just spent the whole day together, getting things for Christmas Eve's and Day's supper, exchange gifts (he received a Gandalf's pipe, and I got some gym shoes). 

Then we went out for supper. Was gonna check out a Puerto Rican place in Dunkirk called Shorty's Kitchen, but because of all that's been happening, they decided to be closed for the season and reopen at their food stand "Taste of Puerto Rico," in the Summer.

So, we decided to check out Demitri's on the Lake, a little Greek Restaurant there by the piers in Dunkirk. And it was great! The waitress was wonderful and the food delicious. 

Week 26 Incentive: Eat Fish Twice a Week

 Evening everyone!

Wow, it's already the week for Christmas and the countdown begins as everyone is rushing to do last-minute shopping.

This week is also my busiest ever.

I, of course, work this week, Tuesday through Thursday. Tomorrow (Monday, 21st) is mine and my Beloved's wedding anniversary. Wow, can't believe that it's been three years already. Then, of course, Christmas day.

Anyway, we have finally reached the halfway mark of our incentives. How does that make you all feel? Good, I hope. Just another 26 weeks to go to complete our journey here.

This week's incentive is to try to have fish, twice a week. And the best suggestion is the ones with higher omega-3s to help your bodies.

I wish everyone to keep safe as we all seem to be rushing this week and also to do our best to stay healthy.

Take care, my friends.

Week 25 Incentive: Strength Training 3 Times a Week

 Hey Everyone, how's it going?

We're at the halfway point of the month and just a week away from it being halfway through the incentives.

This week's incentive is all about strength training and how to get your body awake and toned.

So, 3 times a week for 20 minutes, work on getting stronger.

Just remember to talk things over with your doctor, personal trainer, and dietitian before starting any exercises, lifestyle changes, or diets.

Week 24 Incentive: Healthy Portions

 Morning everyone!

How are we all doing on the first Sunday of December? That's right it is December! Wow, again the months are flying again and soon it be the end of the year.

Anyway, today is week 24 in our incentives. We are almost at the halfway point.

This week's incentive is "Healthy Portions."

We all, for the most part, know how our plates should be as we all learned in health class. Half of the plate should be vegetables and fruit, quarter meat, and the other quarter is starches.

Hope that everyone isn't stressing over the idea that Christmas is coming up. Try to take time and plan carefully.

Be safe, stay healthy, and take care, my friends
