30 Days of Giving Thanks
(continued)
Day Nineteen
I thank God for the opportunity to travel with my wife to Memphis early this year for the Duran Duran concert. My wife had always wanted to attend a Duran Duran concert; but never had the chance to do so. She grew up listening to the tunes of this British band and seeing them in concert was a dream come true for her. It warmed my heart to look over at her during the concert and seeing her sing the countless hits. But I have to admit, I was singing along myself. We had a great time and enjoyed our first, but brief, visit to Memphis.
Day Twenty
I thank God that my wife and I had the opportunity to witness the great horse show known as Cavalia when it came to our city. My wife and I love animals and horses are high our list of favorites. The show was a belated Valentine’s Day present because we couldn’t celebrate on the actual day. We were in the second row and were so close to the horses. The show included horses from all over the world and featured acrobatics, trick riding and horse stunts. The two-hour show include a back stage tour of the horse stables. I can’t recommend this show enough.
Day Twenty-One
I thank God that my wife and I had the chance to see the Lion King musical at the Fabulous Fox Theater as a birthday treat for me. This was our first Broadway musical and the first time that I had ever gone to the Fox. It was indeed a treat for us. The Fox is an ornate theater built in the 1920s. The architecture is indeed over the top; but that is what makes the Fox so great. The Lion King proved to be better than what I could have imagined. I was not a big fan of musicals, but the Lion King changed my opinion of that.

The holidays are now in full swing. Having just celebrated Thanksgiving last week and soon Christmas will be here before we even know it,and then New Year’s Eve. If there are any holiday parties or family gatherings on your social calendar, you will need to get started sooner rather than later,to find that perfect outfit.
Purchasing your outfit online offers makes shopping easy as you are able to make the purchase from the comfort of your own home. Bonmarche.co.uk offers collections of gorgeous plus size clothes from dressed-up elegance to comfortable casual. While I am not a plus size; I often hear that it is hard to find cute clothes in plus sizes. Well definitely this is a site for you to check out.
The type of gathering that you are attending will usually determine your outfit. A family gathering may call for jeans and sweater; but for a work party you may need dress it up a bit. It is always a good idea to ask your party’s host for what the proper attire should be. It is not a good thing for you to arrive at a party and to be completely dressed up. For me I have found that its always best to be a bit overdressed for an event. To not feel awkward, please ask first what the dress attire is so you are well prepared.
The dress below is so figure-flattering and the sizes run from 18 to 24. A faux-wrap dress is always a winner in my book. I love the draping at the waist, how it cinches in and elongates the body.
I picked this blouse below from the selection of ladies tops because the blouses are so flattering. This blouse looks like there are two pieces, a sequined tank and a jacket overlay.Well it is actually a 2-in-1the tank and overlay are attached. It gives the illusion of being separate. The sizes in this blouse run from 12 to 24. I can see this top with a black velvet skirt and black tights with knee high boots and silver and gold accessories such as bangle bracelets and abstract-hooped earrings.
The sizes are English standard sizing; so a UK Size 10 would be equivalent to a US size 12 and a UK Size 12 would be equivalent to a 14 and so on.
I had to include the video of this pretty dress, love the design. I did not see it on the website; but wanted to show you the detail of the dress.

Day Fifteen
I thank God that, in spite of the hustle and bustle of life, I still have a place that I can go to get away from all of it. And that place is my home. My home provides me with a place to spend time with my wife and my doggies and to get a release from all that is going on in my life. With a full-time job and volunteering at my church my schedule full most of the time. It is great to have my home to be a quiet place and a refuge that gives me the chance to rest, recharge and prepare for the next day and its challenges.
Day Sixteen
I thank God for Gio and Vinny, my two doggies. They are a rowdy and boisterous duo; but they provide a spark of vitality to our house. Gio, the big brother, is a beagle who is always on the hunt for squirrels in the backyard. Vinny, the little brother, is a Collie is always wanting to play with this big brother. Their personalities are completely different. Gio is needy and loud and Vinny is laid back. Gio talks to me with deep stares and tail wagging. Vinny talks back with ruff ruff and roul roul . But I won’t have them any other way.
Day Seventeen
I thank God that my wife loves me for who I am; but also wants me to be better. I know that I am a work-in-progress. We all are. But my wife loves me in spite of my flaws and all. She just doesn’t leave me with my flaws and weaknesses; but she helps me to improve myself and shows me a better way. She hasn’t given up hope on me and is always helping me strive to do better. I love her for that. Being a better man is not just for me; but for God first and her too. If I can make myself better, it will make me a better man and husband for her. We both benefit from it.
Day Eighteen
I thank God that my wife is always helping me through difficult situations with her Godly wisdom and advice. God has placed in my wife so much wisdom and knowledge that she knows the right words to say or the right advice to give. I can always count on God first and wife to see me through the difficult situations and be right there with me. It is as if God is speaking directly to me through her yielded voice. I am amazed by what God is doing in her life to help me grow and becoming a better person.

We all are looking for software that will keep our computers clean and running smoothly. I recently was looking at a software website that makes your computers run like new, it is called Simplitec.com.
The software that I really like for our PC is Simplisafe; because it claims to that it will digitally delete your digital footprint. That means that your cookies will not be tracked back to your computer to see where you are surfing on the internet.
Other Benefits from the Simplitec software
-defragment your files
-recover data, update your files
-delete internet history and cookies to protect your privacy
For secure software, visit Simplitec’s website because they are experienced and have been in business for 18 years. That is a long time for computer companies. When it comes to software for safety and making our computers run faster it can be tough; but with much research you can find the right one that suits your needs.
While I am on the subject of software and safety, I wanted to share some great tips on safety while shopping online.
For all sorts of software information and reviews CNET is a good resource. If I am unfamiliar with a particular software I always try to get an opinion on what experts say about it.
Recently, I was reading an article on CNET.com, How To Stay Safe When Security Shopping, and it had some really good tips such as changing your passwords and you can even have spaces between your passwords to make it more difficult for your password to be recognized. Another good tip was to make sure you logout of the internet web browser when you are done.
There are a lot of bad people that want to try to get your information so to have software that maximizes your computer experience is essential.

Thirty Days of Giving Thanks (continued)
Day Eleven
I thank God for the men and women who served in the Armed Forces and in the Military how fought to give me the freedom to live in this country that allows me to be free. These men and women sacrificed time with their own friends and families to fight for a cause they many of us take for granted. The United States of America was founded on the concept of freedom in 1776. And to this day, that fight continues. Be sure to thank a veteran for your freedom.
Day Twelve
I thank God for my daddy who, unfortunately, left this Earth too soon. My daddy taught me so many things, in the years that we shared together and even in the years since has has been gone. My father was a respected business man, great father and a loyal husband. I have heard countless stories of his goodness and his kind-hardheartedness from my mother, my family and others. I take those stories and let them mold me into a better person.
Day Thirteen
I thank God for my mommy who had to raise me as a single parent after my daddy died. Not only has she been a great mother, but always a great father. She not only took great care of me but also provided me with a solid of how to be as a man. I will never forget her working long hours in a hat factory to provide me with everything needed to make my life happy in spite of losing my father at such an early age.
Day Fourteen
I thank God for being a world traveler with my world-class wife. Growing up in a small town, I only dreamed that I would be able to travel out of the country. But that dream did come true last year when my wife and I went on a seven-day Caribbean cruise on the largest cruise ship of them all, the Oasis of the Seas. We experienced the culture of the Bahamas, Saint Thomas, and Saint Martin. We also had a chance to see the dolphins in Tortola and the alligators in Fort Lauderdale. We had a great time and would highly recommend everyone go on one cruise in their lifetime.
