Day #2923

January 1, 2022 

On this Satisfied Saturday, which happens to be the first day of a New Year, I am thankful for traditions.You know, those things that must happen in a family, or congregation, or workplace, or community.  

For my family, a year could not begin without the “traditional” Southern fare of pork, greens, and black eye peas. That meal meant the new year would be filled with luck, health and money. 

So, do not be surprised that this was our meal today:

Some traditions just need to keep happening, whether they mean it will be a healthy and lucky year or not. After all, this is yummy! 

Blessings. And prayers.
