What a Wonderful Start To My New Year!

I am from the USA, from the south, in Florida. I live in the Ocala National Forest. Out here in the woods we say if you don't have black-eyed peas on New Year's Day, well unfortunately you will have bad luck for the whole following year!

As you can imagine, I believe this silly wives tale, and this is what we had for brunch:

That is our black-eyed peas with bacon, with a pot of rice. Then, it would not be complete without buttered cornbread. For garnish, we had onions, pepper sauce, and banana peppers. We had pineapple upside down cake for dessert. Of course, we had iced tea. Yes, I am definitely going to have good luck this coming year! Also, a strict diet! :)

I told you all of this, to tell you this, I got on my laptop and added some content to my website. I started checking some things and when I got to my Clickbank account, guess what? I had found $182.96, on a holiday!!!! I was so excited.I know that is not much money, but it made my holiday lucky. It has been a very good day, and I am feeling so very grateful for Wealthy Affiliate, and for the fact I had black-eyed peas! :)

I am wishing each and every member of WA, a Happy and Very Prosperous New Year!
