Hep – Hep Hooray!  Yeah, the New Orleans Saints beats Indianapolis Colts on the XLIV Super Bowl.  Woohoo!!!  It was a very thrilling great game.  Hubby and I were really rooting for this team especially that they are considered as underdogs.  Congratulations!  Way to go guys!!!

Cheers to LIFE!  That’s me and my margarita drink on my birthday dinner last night at Maggiano’s.  That place is awesome – delicious food, warm ambiance and superb service.  You should check out that eating place, guys.  It is just a very commendable place especially if you are celebrating a special occasion.  It might be a little too pricey for us (in our standards) but the experience was so amazing.  It was all worth it!  We love it and we will be back there for sure.

I am just right here and basking in all the Blessings that He has continually bestowed on me –

As each day comes to us refreshed and anew,

so does my gratitude renew itself daily.

The breaking of the sun over the horizon

is my grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world.

The amethyst, February's birthstone, has been traveling the world for more than 8,000 years as a trade commodity between many cultures. Amethyst is part of the quartz family, and while its color ranges from light lavender to the richest shade of purple, the deep purple stones are considered most valuable. The amethyst derives its name from the Greek word amethystus, meaning "sober," and was believed to protect the wearer from becoming intoxicated by alcohol.

Amethysts have been worn through the ages by religious leaders as a symbol of piety and celibacy. Buddhists believe that the amethyst enhances tranquility and peace during meditation, and Leonardo da Vinci thought it had the power to increase intelligence and protect against evil. This tranquil gemstone may bring peace to the wearer as well as alleviate anxiety, reduce negativity, and protect against deceit. The amethyst also contains the power to assist with therapy for alcohol and drug abuse.
