The end of 2013 and looking forward to 2014

Well Christmas is over. I hope everyone enjoyed their time with family and friends. Mine I guess you can say was uneventful. At least nothing earth shattering happened. 
Like allot of the country we had a white Christmas.

This is the whitest Christmas we have had in a long time. This picture was actually taken the day before Christmas. On Christmas it snowed lightly all day so there is even more snow piled up. 

Anyway now that 2013 is almost over, finally. It's time to start pondering the future of 2014. What will this year hold for the world? What will it hold for me? What kind of new dramas will be exposed?(As if we didn't have enough in the last one). 
The world is run by drama. Some is bad like losing lots of money, dealing with drama queens, con artists, politicians, control freaks, people that are able to really work but would rather find away to get something for no real effort on their part or someone being very selfish and blaming others for their own arrogant path. 

There is some good drama that could happen. Like winning lots of money. But when you think about that, it could bring about bad drama from all the leaches that would try to attach to you and suck you dry. 
Another good thing would be someone amazing coming into your life at the right time.
How about discovering you have a talent doing something that really makes you happy. 
Are you ready for all the new kind of drama that will happen in 2014? I'm up for a new adventure. 

Are you one of those people who make new year promises to do or change something in your life? I usually don't. But I've come up with a challenge for myself. 
I got the idea from something on Pinterest. It was a money challenge to save money. I did try it last year but due to some issues with money because the husband did have back surgery and his job being kind of slow from time to time it didn't work. I came up with a different kind of way to use the weeks of the year. 
Let me explain my idea. Instead of doing the money thing I'm going to do it with an exercise bike. Confused? What I plan on doing is getting myself a little bit more in shape, gradually. There are 52 weeks in a year. So what I am going to do is ride the  bike a minute for every week everyday of the year. 
Week one will be 1 minute a day
Week two, 2 minutes a day.
All the way up to 52 minutes by the end of the year.
It will be easy at first, of course. I figure a slow and easy start to this just might help me stay on track to get in better shape. 
I could always use some cheerleaders, any volunteers? Or even people to join me in this challenge.

Well that's my ponder for now.
Till next time.
Keep on pondering the pondering possibilities.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

Image
The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
