Thankful Thursdays

Posted on December 22, 2016December 22, 2016 by Connie Perez

For hugs, kisses, conversations, and time together. For me, Jesus is the reason for the season. I recognize and celebrate all the blessings He bestows on me — each hug and kiss, each conversation, each second we spend with loved ones – all of that is so much brighter and warmer than anything else we…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on December 15, 2016 by Connie Perez

That I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. So thankful that my faith is strong enough to believe this. Otherwise, I’d be in a looney bin right now. Enough said. Oh yeah, and thankful also for greeting cards. The ones with handwriting inside that come in an envelope with a stamp on it….

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on December 8, 2016 by Connie Perez

For our warriors and the peace they serve to protect and defend. As I hold in my hands this poignant edition of The Miami Herald published 75 years ago today (another one of Mom’s archived treasures), I cringe at the reminder of the countless souls lost to war, past and present, and of the brave…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on December 1, 2016December 1, 2016 by Connie Perez

For beginnings. This has been quite an emotional week for us Cubans and anyone whose life has been affected in one way or another by the tyrant that Castro was. This week we celebrate not his death but the beginning of a world without him. We celebrate not immediate change but the resurgence of hope…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on November 24, 2016 by Connie Perez

For time with each other. I’m very grateful to be able to fill a list of things for which to be thankful, and I’m sure you are too. But I’m also certain that this holiday season, and every day, what we end up thanking God for the most, really, is the time we have with…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on November 17, 2016 by Connie Perez

For God’s confidence. Despite our imperfections, He uses us. He knows what we can do. Let’s not be afraid or doubt His calling, His plan, and give ourselves and others a chance. For His confidence and tolerance, I am thankful. Noah was a drunk Abraham was too old Isaac was a daydreamer Jacob was a…

Posted on November 10, 2016 by Connie Perez

For hope. Aside from faith and love, the most amazing feeling there is. Faith is reassuring, love is comforting, but hope, hope is daring. These are tough and trying times we live in. I don’t ever, ever want to lose hope. Go ahead, dare to hope! What are you thankful for today? “You do not…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on November 3, 2016 by Connie Perez

Grateful that I had the privilege to vote. Although I’m really glad this stirring and exhausting election period is almost over. So happy to see the last of the polls, signs, debates, nasty commercials, and social media rants (until the next time, undoubtedly), and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to re-engage in “weather” conversation…and…

For 44 years of freedom, family, and chewing gum. – This Monday night, Halloween, will mark 44 years of my arrival to this country. Growing up in La Habana, I heard great things about the USA, Miami specifically. I loved receiving that surprise Air Mail envelope from my cousins in Miami carrying a stick of…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on October 20, 2016 by Connie Perez

For a lifetime of treasures and the effort it took. – I’ve been doing a little Fall cleaning at Mom’s house these past few weeks, and to say she has collected a lifetime of treasures is an understatement. Original family photographs, certificates, awards, greeting cards, mementos going back to the early 1920’s. Impressive, to say…
