How I Met My Husband – Where Did You Meet Your Husband/Wife?

Posted by on December 31, 2009 · 17 Comments

How and where did you meet your husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend? When I tell people how I met my husband, I am sometimes amazed by the shocked expression on their faces, especially when I tell them that I met my husband on an online dating website.

Online dating has been around for so many years now that it seems odd that hearing that I met my husband on an online dating site would still create reactions of disbelief and shock. What is so bad about meeting and dating someone you met online? What is the big deal about online dating?

Baby boomer online dating, commonly referred to as online dating after 40 or 50 years of age, is on the increase according to statistical reports. I was happily amused to discover so many senior online dating sites that cater to single seniors seeking companionship, activity partners, pen pals or their soulmate for seniors living in the USA, Canada, England, Australia, South America, Europe and Asia.

I was curious to find out what the statistics were for online dating to see how many success stories there are of couples who met online that actually lead to marriage, but I was unable to locate trustworthy and reliable results of any real studies done. Then again, a successful online relationship doesn’t have to result in marriage, especially if adult men and women are only looking for friendship and not long-term relationships.

2010 Top Ten New Year’s Resolutions

Posted by on December 31, 2009 · 2 Comments

Are you making New Year’s Resolutions for 2010? Remember, New Year’s resolution statistics are not on your side, so if you really want to be successful at achieving any New Year’s goals for the year 2010, you have some hard work ahead of you.

Anyone can make a list of New Year’s resolutions, and the list may include the most popular top ten, twenty or more resolutions that are common each and every year. Trouble is, far too many people make New Year’s resolutions without actually making a real plan of sticking to or keeping the New Year’s resolutions that they’ve set for themselves.

Making New Year’s resolutions can be very beneficial for all of us, but the chances of sticking to these resolutions throughout the entire year usually doesn’t work out, unless you change the word “resolutions” to “goals”. Personally, I never make New Year’s Resolutions. Not ever.

“Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right.” – Oprah Winfrey

While I don’t do New Year’s resolutions, I do set personal and professional goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound, also called SMART goals. If you’re going to make any kind of New Year’s resolution for 2010, 2011 and beyond, you’re much better off and much more likely to achieve the personal and/or professional goals you set if you have a solid action plan to help you accomplish your goals.

Christmas Prayers and Christmas Poems for Christmas 2009

Posted by on December 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I would like to wish all of my readers and visitors a very Merry Christmas! As you celebrate Christmas with your family and close friends, please remember to say a prayer for those who are less fortunate than yourselves, for our military and their families, and those who have lost a loved one in death.

Please keep in mind the less fortunate with your Christmas donations of toys, food and cash donations for the needy. Have you remembered Christmas Tipping Etiquette?

Here are a few Christmas Prayers and Poems I’ve collected from the net for your consideration. Don’t miss out on listening to the video song below of Nicholas Jonas singing “Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)”, which is available for download HERE if you love this Christmas song by Nicholas Jonas as much as I do.

By the way, the image above is the Thomas Kinkade Tabletop Christmas Snowman Figurine, from one of my all-time favorite Thomas Kinkade Collections – available on Amazon.com. (I love love love Thomas Kinkade!)
