Fruit Pastilles make life sweet!

Recently, I've been blogging a lot about my cousins. They are people that inspire me. I'm so thankful that my mom and dad had siblings, and that I have sisters. I can't imagine what it's like to be an only child; my heart really goes out to all the Chinese kids of the One Child Policy in China!

Anyway, after work yesterday, I went to visit my aunt in the hospital. Of course my cousins were there standing by to help out and to root my uncle on. The last time I went to visit, I brought with me some lychee fruit pastilles. Little did I know how much they liked them, because seeing them "fight" over it I vowed to get them more next time! Well, next time came around, this time I was more prepared. Not only did I bring the lychee fruit pastilles, but I also got them the mango and the blackcurrant ones too! I hope the gummies can bring them a little sweetness during these rough times!

"Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." May my uncle and cousins be filled with the joy and strength of the Lord!

My high school alumni association has been hard at work planning for the annual alumni event. This year, we're planning on having a School of Rock Halloween party, which is only about 2 more months away! Needless to say, planning is in high-gear. Given everyone's busy schedules, the only time that we were able to carve out to meet was over lunch. Hearing that it would be a lunch meeting in an office conference room, I knew that the stress would begin to pile up. So what better way to de-stress and cheer people up, than with some sweet colorful macaroons?
